Harold Liovd, the comedian with| o hone-rimmed spectacles and the ®:rin, s irresistibly funny in his new- | ¥, which was | e in WH_“h'“S" Rialie Theatlor yesterday e afternoon. The voung actor wisely built a good foundation with his carlier comedies and carefully in- creased the volume and velocity of humorous situations in later cfforts, until he reaches a climax in this newest production. Wherc he won shuadering thrills and laughter in “Safety Last” his outstanding pic- ture until “Girl Shy,” he wins a_more stable place in public admiration with the intensely human pathos, as well as thrills and laughs, which he provides in the latter film. In “Girl Shy” Lloyd portrays a de- lighttully sineere country boy who works daytimes as an apprentice to his kindly uncle in the tailoring busi- ness and is so overwhelmed with shy- ness whenever he has to speak to a girl that he becomes lost in stut- tering dismay. At night, however, in a manner somewhat reminiscent’ of “Merton of the Movies” he lives in the products of his vivid imagina- tion as a_ gallant Beau Brummel and writes a book dedicated to the young man of the world, telling of his girl on his way to the big city to mell this precious volume to a_publisher and, equally, of course, the gird bout to be forced to wmarry the villiain. Then, as is tra- ditionary in the course of true love, more complications appear until just when the audience is completely ex- ~ |hausted with laughter at the many funny’ arrives. Jobyna Ralston is excellent as the unspoiled little rich girl and a saucy Pekinese pup agds his share to the many comical situations involved in telling this story. The photography is fine and many of the settings are picturesque. The small country town characters and scenes are not bur- lesqued, thus adding to the human appeal of the picture. The members of “Our Gang” appearing in certain scenes also add to the interest. The Rialto magazine topics and news reel complete the Baster week program.

"His acting is inspi- rational, especially in the big scenes when he incites the people to defend themselves nst the aristocracy. Lewis Stone as the marquis is, as always, finely efficient and both he and Novarro do some splendid bits of swordplay. Alice Terry's role does not call for much in the way of act- ing, but she adds much to the beauty of the picture, the tiny walst and bouffant skirts of the period being most_becamin Ingram has built his story skill- fully, carrying the suspense through- out.
