GRAND THEATER, HARTFORD

The scores of New Britainites who have made the short trek to Hart ford's Grand theater this week Have no doubt felt amply repaid by the splendid entertainment proffered by Legs and Laughter, current at traction at the joy spot. With Eddie Dale and Angeles Lee heading the cast, a talented travelling chorus to form a beautiful background and some of vaudeville's sure fire head liners in numerous specialties, this attraction has "clicked" most en- phatically. Tomorrow evening after the regular performance seven sizz- ling amateur bouts with some of the best boys in the state as opponents will be staged on the stage of the. Grand theater as an added attrac- tion. Dick Gray matchmaker of Capitol park, is responsible for this warfare which is scheduled to start at 10 o'clock. When cold weather prohibited the staging of outdoor bouts at the park, thousands of fans lamented the fact and the announce ment that the Grand will offer them through the winter should be well come news indeed. Legs and Laugh ter will be presented twice daily for the remainder of the week.

AT THE EMBASSY

George Arliss is coming in a new creation-"Old English"-a part which he considers the best charac- terization of his long career.
 According to "Old English" inde- pendence is the most precious of all possessions. Proud and defiant of convention is the rakish old rascal that George Arliss has so adroitly transferred to the Vitaphone screen for Warner Brothers.
 "Old English" is, however, very human. and in the hectic last three days of his life he lives in retrospect the eighty odd years of his not too virtuous life. Rogue, though he is, his stubborn fight for what he wants most and his zest for living find q responsive echo in every human heart.
 "Old English" will open tomor- row at the Embassy theater with George Arliss starring in the role he made famous on the stage. The sup porting cast which includes Betty Lawford, Doris Lloyd, Leon Janney, Ivan Simpson and numerous others, adds to the interest of the produc- tions which is exceeding even the great "Disraeli" in popularity. Alfred E. Green directed.
 Little Accident" will be seen for the last times today.

AT THE STRAND

Whoopee,' now playing at the Strand theater with all the burst of splendor that would be anticipated from the news that Samuel Goldwyn and Florenz Ziegfeld were working together to produce a musical com edy spectacle on the talking color screen. All the lavishness implied in these two names appears in the gor- geous scenes, the beautiful girls, the rib-splitting comedy from Eddie Cantor and his numerous assistants the fast pace and the splendid pho tography which make "Whoopee" what it is.
 The plot of the picture is an adaptation of Owen Davis grand farce, ''The Nervous Wreck" with its story of the imaginary invalid forced to be a he-man in order to get the heroine out of trouble and married to the right man. Eddie Cantor's portrayal of Henry Will Hams, the invalid in question, is a classic of comedy from one of the stages greatest. Combined with the beauty of huge ensembles of hand picked girls, fast, unfagging direc- tion by Thornton Freeland, and breath-taking photography, the whole picture is the talking screen at its opulent best.
 Among the pulchritudinous fea- lures of the production are Eleanor Hunt, selected personally by Samuel Goldwyn from the chorus of the stage "Whoopee" for the leading role of the picture version, and Dor othy Knapp. famed "most beautiful girl in the world" as well as huge numbers of beauties selected from the best of Hollywood and New York, The Invocation to the Sun" sequence toward the end of the pie tire is a memorable example of What can be done with color pho- tography and human beauty in nat ural outdoor settings.
 The singing of Paul Gregory, Ziegfeld's $25,000 tenor, and Chief Caupolican, the Indian baritone, form another notable feature of the screen 'Whoopee." It is picture which satisfies from any angle.
