M'LAGLEN TOPS BREAT CAST IN ‘ON THE LEVEL' Hilariously Funny Scenes Features Comedy Drama at Coliseum Theatre Presented by a splendid cast, tepped by Vietor McLaglen, “On the Level,” Fox Movietone all- talking comedy drama, was shown at the Coliseum theatre last nignt. {1t will b2 presented again tonight. The play is based on a story by |William K. Wells, and ably di- rected by Irving Cummings. | McLaglen appears as a struc- itural iron worker. who flirts with danger and with a beautiful wom- an who occupies an office in a Ibuilding next to his job and, after meeting her, falls for a real estate racket the woman and her confed- erate are promoting. She not only induces him to in- vest his money, but influences him to interest his friends in the pur- chase of mythical lots.

McLaglen has pla; role. He is amusing; he is dra- |matic by turns and his perform ance is convincing . William Harri- gan, well-known stage actor, por- trays the role of McLaglen's “bud- dy” and is well suited to a rather difficult part.
