COMEDY NOW ON
VIEW AT THE OHIO

Joe E. Brown is the star of Local
Boy Makes Good" a First National
Vitaphone picture, which opened
Friday at the Ohio for a weeks
showing.
Browns role in Local Boy Makes
Good" is said to be somewhat dis
similar to his previous screen work
in that it depends less on Slapstick
exaggerationS than did his former
appearances. The wide-mouthed
comedian impersonates a timid, self
effacing, near-sighted college stu
dent.
RKO'S short reel, Facing the
Gallows.T and Bimbo cartoon are
among the added attractions.

cal frameup."

so long as officers and men of
the Chinchow army mingle in large
