international Coincidence and star of
many musical shows and Vitaphone

RIALTO-"Finn and Hattie"
IN Finn and Hattie" the Rialto
Theater's present attraction, Leon
Enrol, with his famous rubber" knee,
plays the leading featured role. It's fun
Is taken directly from Donald Ogden
Stewards famous hest-sellers, "Mr. and
Mrs. Haddock in Paris, France" and
mr.. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad"
The funniest line ever written, how
ever, and that goes for Mr.. Stewards
delicious dialogue, will fall fiat as
custard pie under steam-roller unless
accompanied by funny bit of action,
funny gesture, or funny grimace
that may be seen on the screen. The
camera is still the king of the comedy
lots" says Enrol Mr. Stewards comic
novels are unique, in that they provide,
not alone the comedy lines, but the
comedy business as WELL so that the
comedian has merely to transpose the
Stewart character from words to ges-
lures
To assure the perfection of the Stew
art humor, Paramount has assigned a
stellar cast to support the story and
Enrol. Zasu Pitts plays the part of Mrs.
Haddock, and little mischief-maker
Mitzi Green is the daughter of the fam
lily. The cast also includes Jackie Scarf,
who made an instantaneous hit as the
kid brother in Tom Sawyer"
The journey of the Haddocks from
their Middle Western home to the gay
French capital Is one continuous laugh.
During the trip Mitzi raises havoc with
everything and everybody she meets,
her chief attention being given to JACKIE
Scarf. Enrol gets mixed up with a
phony princess, who plays on the soft
chords of Miss Pitts heart until that
mournful madame joins with her
against Enrol.
Otto F. Beck at the organ. Graham
McNamee with the Universal News
reel and selected short reels complete
the program.

Lemon of Orange" now at the Fox
Theater, and all because poor Oscar
looks just like Silent MCGEE, one OF
the hardest, understanding gang
sters in the profession.
Any one with a modicum Of imagi-
nation will readily see that such a Sit
uation is likely to lead to difficulties.
Well. it does, for Mr.. Lemon finds that
Julie (Fifi Dorsay) thinks he killed her
brother in hi-jacking battle, and she
invites him to join her at notorious
night club, where her slain brothers
pals will return the leaden compliment.
Mr.. Lemon. quite ignorant of his dan
