"LONG PANTS" TO BE
AT CIRCLE NEXT WEEK

Harry Langdon comes to the Cir
Gle Sunday in Long Pants" story
Of adolescence written by the star
and Frank Capra, and directed by
the latter.
The story begins in San Fran
cisco just before the fire, and touches
briefly upon the birth of the hero,
Harry. He is then shown at eight
years of age and later at seventeen,
and as the title would indicate, con-
Germs chiefly the boys first pair of
long trousers.
The star appears as typical, ro-
mantle boy who believes himself a
Romeo in embryo. and believes that
the only thing that will bring to the
surface all the latent charm and
power and soul in him is a love az
fair with a beautiful woman. He
spends his time divided between day
dreaming of this woman and beg
ging his mother to let him wear his
first suit of long trousers.
A beautiful and sophisticated wo-
man with q sense of humor rides by

stage melodramtic hits, ''Blind AL
leys'is Davis first original work for
the screen. And it presents Meighan
in a story that is an entirely new
type for his personality and talents.
The star is cast as Captain DAME:
Kirby of the Merchant Marine. He
marries Maria D'Alvarez, a Cuban
beauty and brings her to New York
for their honeymoon. On the very
evening Of their arrival Fate con-
spires to separate the bridal pair
Leaving their hotel apartment on
an errand the captain is struck by
an automobile and so seriously in
jured that he is taken to private
hospital. AS he could not tell his
name, and there was no means of
Identifying him, no effort was made
to notify his bride.
Terrified by his absence, and
frightened by the huge and teeming
city, the girl starts out on an aim
less search for him, becoming her
self the innocent victim of an en-
counter with INSCRIPTIONS crooks.
The story is fast moving, set to the
hectic tempo of New York, and the
ensuing episodes are charged with
drama, mystery and thrills. Frank
Tuttle directed the picture.

falls desperately in love with her.
His vain love for her, his family's

lights of this delightful and at times
pathetic comedy. Priscilla Bonner

the star, and Albert Roscoe, and
