Thunduy. Februlry 19, 1931 Ed Wynn', Antics Wynn's fooling is contagious. and,‘ on the talking screen, he is, more than ever, "The Perfect Fool." lure. ly, indeed, in such supreme fun.rmrk. ins, such honest laugh-making pre- sented tor the entertainment of m audience. We heartily rep6mmend Ed Wynn for people of all ages, end this includes everybody from six to sixty. The story of "Follow the Leader") centerl Hound Wynn's comic antics, but a clever little ram-nee, pinyed by Ginger Rogers and Stanley Smith, looms up in the background with en- joy-hie effect. It's not a serious ro- mance, just I boy-and-trid affair which adds joint and "vor to the Wynn fooling. Rogers and Erwin in I'Along Came Youth" In "Along Came Youth" Rogers is seen as the romnntic youth Ameri- cnn atnnded in England. and Erwin is his buddy. Whereas Rogers is a success " love-making. Erwin is a terrifie flop. He even has to get William Austin, a likewise bashful suitor. to propose to his girl for him. Just as in "Young Eagles" Erwin is seen to good comedy advantage as I partner for the dashing, romantic Rogers. His difBeultiea on a befud- dled, bushful lover provide the comedy highlights of this zestful and exciting fun-and-love fest. _ "Under Suspicion" Is Long Itomaned Once more Lumsden Hare, well known character actor of the stage and screen, finds himself in tt British role, this time in "Under Suspicion," the Fox Movietone song romance with a Roy-l Cnnldian Mounted Police background.

His wife, Leila Hylms, breaks under the strain of living with him and leaves him to pursue her course " amateur lady golf champ.
