The story is based on Carl Ed's celebrated newspaper comic strip of the same name, ap- pearing daily in more than 300 newspapers, and it is not stretching a point to say that it is probably % 23 the fastést moving farce of the year. The title role of “Harold” is played by Arthur Lake, the juve- nile comedian who has been scor- ing repeatedly of late. Mary Brian plays his “sweetie” Lillums, and Alice White is the high school vamp, Giggles, Others in the sup- porting cast are Lucien Littlefield, William Bakewell, Hedda Hopper, Lincoln Stedman and Ben Hall “Harold Teen” is a Robert Kane production. e i ] '1- “SKEETS” GALLAGHER | | AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | SRR R A A Youth’s conceit and its triumph from the theme of a fast moving comedy of city life which is at the Coliseum tonight only. It is an FBO special taken from H. C. Wit- wer's short story by Dudley Mur- phy and also directed by Mr. Mur- phy. Many a hick has arrived in New York . convinced that the city and the world in general were waiting to see him perform. Some have been disillusioned and beaten, oth- ers have succeeded, but all have been razzed: , There’s some high- powered, razzing in this story, but it doesn’t stay one-sided very long; and: that is what makes it twice as funny as it might:otherwise be. “Alex. 18,8 Vermont farmer boy in the beginning. He is convinced life holds;something for him be<| sides feeding cows. His city cousin has confidence in him, but her hus- band, '8 ‘baseball manager, can't visualize anything in.Alex's future except:free meals.. - The action be- gins when Alex reaches. the Grand Central_station.. It continues through a laughable series of ad- ventures in a riding academy, a de luxe hotel, a department store, and concludes on a Long Island estate. Richard “Skeets” Gallagher puts the farmer boy role over with a bang, and Albert Conti is a close second in the mirth production as the baseball manager. Two femi- nine leads, one a beauty society girl and the other the charming wife of the baseball manager, are played by Patricia Avery and Ruth Dwyer, respectively.

The spirit of |the victim is claimed to walk on| |certain nights. Yet, has a ghost | gcvcr hurt anyone, supposing there were such things, asks Hersholt. Of course, fiction has made a lot |of ghost stories. They have fasci- nated readers on down through his- tory, first by word-of-mouth and jlater through the printed word. It is the fear of ghosts and the unknown that motivates the vari- ous members of the cast of “13 Washington Square” once they are all in the house at this address which is supposedly vacant but ac- tually quite well populated. George Lewis, Helen Foster, Zasu | Pitts, Hersholt and Miss Joyce are the occupants, most of them un- known' to the others. 1ne cast also includes Helen Jerome Eddy, Jerry iGamblc and Jack McDonald. = MAY M’AVOY STAR IN FEATURE AT COLISEUM | o Picturesque Coney Island with its thousand and one freak shows. mysteries and garish attractions, is revealed in all its glamor in “The Little Snob,” the Warner Bros. pro- |duction starring May MecAvoy, which comes to the Coliseum Sun- | day. The play was adapted for the screen by Robert Lord from a story by E. T. Lowe, Jr., John Adolfi directed, and the cast in- cludes Alec Francis, Robert Frazer, Virginia .Lee Corbin, John Miljan and Frances Lee. “Colonel” . Banks, proprietor of a: Coney Island concession, hoards his savings and sends his pretty daugh- ‘ter ‘to a swanky boarding school, from which she emerges with a dis- tinct feeling of superiority to her father and the. sideshow “barker” across.. the boardwalk, who had been her beau. How she goes with her fine friends to visit Coney and how her cad fiance is thrashed by the bark- er are but two of the exciting and amusing incidents which make “The Little Snob” the knockout that it is. Miss McAvoy has full play to her talent. The cast is superb.
