Comedians
In China Bound

Kari Dane and George X. Arthur
are at their comedy best in China
Bound" Metro = Goldwyn : Mayer
feature now playing at the Texas
theater.
The film. which Charles r.
(Chuck Reisner directed, Is a laugh
not from its opening to its ssnsa-
tional finish and probably will be
listed as the best Of the five come
dies In which Dane and Arthur
have co-starTed.
China Bound" furnishes them
with q new vehicle for characterize
ticn as they 60 b~lunderingly on,
first with Dane rs q stoker and Ar
thur as his stowaway pal and later
IN the Chinese coolie DISCUSSES. The
Chinese settings, too, are remark
able in their faithfulness TO our
conception Of what & Chinese SET
ting sh I'D look like.
The story, an original from the
pens Of Sylvia Thalberg and Frank
Butler, is a splendid comedy and
provides many opportunities for the
bulky antics OF the huge Dane, who
in this picture, unlike others, is mis-
partners pal and not his rival i u
love. Each has a sweetheart, Polly
Moran playing this role for Daas
and Josephine Dunn as leading
lady for Arthur. They are men
aced not only by Angus McAlister,
Josephine's screen father, but by
Chinese bandits. who provide a bat
tls Ger which adds to the inter-
est.

way musical comedy hit now on the
screen at the Palace theater, IN Nc
Allen. It's something new; some
thing marvelously entertaining;
something that Is different from
any moving picture you have ever
seen, talking or silent.
The Cocoanuts" Is truly the first
screen musical comedy. For the
first time, the method Of musical
comedy Is brought to the screen TO
provide 3 delightful entertainment
which you will laugh and sing and
talk over for weeks. If the lovers
have a song in mind when they ale
in conversation, they sing. If the
chorus feels like interrupting with
n Of their dance numbers they
step right out. And through 1t all,
those inimitable foolers, the FAM
Gus Marx brothers, keep banging
away with their inane, ridiculous,
lunatic testing.

pol Who, who has ever seen or
heard Of them. would ever miss an
opportunity to laugh with them
again? They Ire superb and they
register just as perfectly on cam
era and microphone as they ever
did on the stage. Those who see
The Cocoanuts' will see the same
show as those who saw The Cocoa
