GAINING RECOGNITION AS BEST
LIGHT COMEDIAN ON SCREEN
Featured With Dorothy Maekaill in
"Man Crazy"

Jack Mulhall, one of the most po-
pular leading men of the screen,
finds his popularity growing with
each picture and his latest, "Man
Crazy" at the Bradley Theatre next
Tuesday and Wednesday again es-
tablishes him as one Of the best light
comedians in the films.
In MAN Crazy" MuIhail is again
co-featured with pretty Dorothy Mac
kali. The perturbation Of Grace
Sertwell Mason's Saturday Evening
Post story is an ideal vehicle for both
Mulhall and Miss Mackaill. Called
"Clarissa and the Post Road" in its
original form, MAN Crazy" tells Of
the heiress in an aristocratic New
England family who falls in love with
a truck driver. Mulhall is the truck
driver. Of course, and the complica-
tions that ensue give both he and his
co-featured player plenty Of oppor-
tunities for their extensive talents.
MAN Crazy" was directed by John
Francis Dillon, and produced by
Charles r. Rogers for First National
Pictures. The cast includes Edythe
Chapman, Philips Smallqy, Walter
McGrail, Ray Hallor and many others.
This picture again demonstrated
that the Mulhall-Mackaill team is one
Of the most popular in pictures, and
that the First National executives
know how to pick suitable vehicles
for these clever players.
Man Crazy" has a pretty romance
and many moments of suspense and
thrills. II is proving popular with
movie fans of this city at every per-
formance

Second, if the suit is so weak that II

One OF the greatest charms OF auction
bridge is the fact that practically all
PLAYERS feel that they play as well as
the next fellow. Therefore they get much

as probably most of my readers know,
was the forerunner Of Bridge. as Bridge
was the predecessor OF our present game
Of Auction Bridge. In the days OF Whist.
as we'll as now, the players thought
pretty well OF their game, as is shown
by the following quotation from The
Posthumous Papers Of the Pickwick

undoubtedly many Mr.. Miliers playing
today who fancy their game, and as
many fat gentlemen who delight in

choice Of passing the one spade double
in the hope that he and his partner can
