THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1929 PAGE FIVE Interesting 'Pen d i om BE Impressions o fd [THE LOCAL SCREEN "Beware of Bachelors" An Uproarious Comedy Slapstick that is good. slapstick will always bring down the house. "Be- ware of Bachelors," the Warner Bros.' comedy of newlyweds does just that. It is the uproarious type of play that' makes the grouchiest for- get his grouch. "Beware of Bachelors" comes to the New Martin Theatre on Monday next for a run of three days. ~The story is by Mark Canfield, the scen- wario by Robert Lord, and the direc- tion by Roy Del Ruth. The cast is headed by those fayorites of fandom, Audrey Ferris and William Collier, Jr., this time cast as flapper bride and gallivanting sheik doctor, Clyde Cook, the wee Australian funny man, is in it, too, and Andre Beranger, in another of his bizarre characteriza- tions of the effeminate male, and Dave Morris, the mountainous, who first saw the light of day in a circus 'tent. Then there is the charming lady from Utah, Margaret Livingston. The tale has to do with the ways and means adopted by the jealous wife to get her medico husband weaned from the lady patients of his clientele, to whom he has been giving unwarranted attention. "Beware of Bachelors" gives the | green-eyed monster, jealousy a run for his money. The family squabble takes place in the home of a young doctor whose wife thinks he has been paying too much attention to his lady. patients. Her protests, tears, tan- trums and warnings proving of no effect, she decides to give the errant youth a taste of his own medicine. He is rather astonished to find his lady among the missing--and later to discover her in one of his familiar night clubs, where she is meeting gentlemen on pleasure bent --among them a French perfumer of temperamental disposition, and an elephantine butter-and-egg man. : The office: calls of the doctor's lady patients are rudely interrupted by the spitfire bride--his peace of mind is gone--his business falls off, yet he is having no more disillusioning experiences than his wife--who has encountered obstacles not on her schedule. ; "Beware of Bachelors" is treated in a hilarious vein, and it has that quality which keeps an audience at chuckling point from the beginning to the end of the show. Miss Ferris and Mr. Collier are very: amusing and likable as the squabbling couple. Andre Beranger, remembered for other bizarre characterizations, 1s amusing as the perfumer, who yearns to express his varying moods with perfumes of varying violence. Dave Morris is ludicrous as the huge pur- suer, and Margaret Livingston plays with zest and charm. Roy Del Ruth has done an exceptionally fine piece of direction, mo opportunity for laughs or touches that interpret character being omitted. "Beware of Bachelors" is an ex- ceedingly clever treatment of a subject which has been gone over by story-writers and dramatists from the beginning of time. i whimsical unexpectedness, a charm- ing youthfulness about it, 'and in spite of the slapstick clements in which it abounds, it has real heart interest.

The layman, to them, is a greedy yokel who wants more than his money's worth when he bucks a carnival joint. Their quaint philosophy is to seo that he gets considerably less, And he usually does. The 'carnival has been neglected in literature and on the stage and screen. The circus has been glori- fied, histories have been written upon it, but the lowly street car- nival with its color and allure has been a closed book as far as its inner workings are concerned until the past season when Kenyon Nicholson, professor of English at Columbia University, wrote a play The Carnival Comes Into Its Own on the Screen based on carnival life. It was called '"The Barker," and its tense drama and marvelous characteriza- tions made it one of the stage suc- cesses of the decade. "Th Barker" is now brought to the screen at the Regent Theatre by First National Pictures, Miltan Sills is starred in the title role, and Dorothy Mackaill is co-starred as the carnival girl. A notable list of players, headed by Betty Comp- son and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., portrays the colorful characters of this make-bélieve world of bally- hoo. "The Barker" takes us behind the scense of the carnival racket, exposing its "insides" and showing what makes it tick. It reveals car- nival people as human beings, witn the problems and the heartaches of ordinary mortals. The dramatic action is set in the gaudy tinsel and trappings of the travelling show, but its people are just peo- ple, after all.
