The feature picture at the LaSalle
today is entitled Kennedy Square -
and il has been adapted from the
novel Of the same name by +. Hop
kinson Smith. There are numerous
delightful little touches i'm the novel
that were particularly suited for
screen production. The charm of
the story lies almost entirely in it's
unusual atmosphere and character
izations. Charles Kent, as a gener-
Gus old southern gentleman, plays
the leading role with dramatic abil-
ity. and prominent in the support of
the star are Antonio Moreno and
Muriel Ostriche, two favOrites of the
screen. The comic Bray cartoons
Will be shown on the same program.
John Barrymore upholds his repu-
tation as an all-around comedian in
The Red Widow which will be
seen at the LaSalle on Wednesday.
He may be and can be as polite as
the circumstances may require. or
he may. with perfect abandon, fall
backward out of a moving autOmO-
bile without apparent damage TO his
anatomy The story centers around
the experiences of corset salesman.
for which role Mr.. Barrymore is
fully qualified.
