All the lavishness implied in these two names appears in the gor- geous scenes, the beautiful girls, the rib-splitting comedy from Eddie Cantor and his numerous assistants the fast pace and the splendidipho- tography which make “Whoopee™ what it is. The plot of the 'pictur(-, adaptation of Owen Davis’ farce, “The Nervous Wreck, with its story of the imaginary invalid forced to be a he-man in order to get the heroine out of trouble and married to the right man. Eddie Cantor's portrayal of Henry Wi liams, the invalid in question, is a classic of comedy from one of the stages greatest. Combined with the beauty of huge ensembles of hand- picked girls, fast, unflagging direc- tion by Thornton Freeland, and breath-taking photography, the whole picture is the talking screen at its opulent best. Among the pulchritudinous fea- tures of the production are Eleanor Hunt, selected personally by Samuel Goldwyn from the chorus of the stage “Whoopee” for the leading role of the picture version, and Dor- othy Knapp, famed “most beautiful girl in the world” as well as huge numbers of beauties selected from the best of Hollywood and New York. The “Invocation to the Sun" sequence toward the end of the pic- tlre is a memorable example of at can be done tography and human beauty in nat- ural outdoor settings. The singing of Paul Gregory, Ziegfeld's $25,000 tenor, and Chief Caupolican, the Indian baritone, form another notable feature of the screen “Whoopee.” It is a picture which satisfies from any angle. is an grand AT THE EMBASSY George Arliss is coming in a new creation—"0Old English"—a part which he considers the best charac- terization of his long career. According to “Old English” inde- pendence is the most precious of all possessions. Proud and defiant of convention is the rakish old rascal that George Arliss has so adrojtly transferred to the Vitaphone screen for Warner Brothers. “Old English” is, however, very human, and in the hectic last three days of his life he lives in retrospect the eighty odd years of his not too virtuous life. -Rogue,-though he is, his stubborn fight for what he wants most and his zest for living find a responsive echo in every human heart. “Old English" will open tomor- row at the Embassy theater with George Arliss starring in the role he made famous on the stage. The sup- porting cast which includes Betty Lawford, Doris Lloyd, Leon Janney, Ivan Simpson and numerous others, adds to the interest of the produc- tions which is exceeding even the great “Disraeli” in popularity. Alfred E. Green directed. “Little Accident” will be seen for the last times today.
