Howard, Next
At Little

Berkeley Square" the tender
and bitterSweet romance of man
of today and a girl who lived $50
years before, opens at the Little
Theater Sunday. Leslie Howard
is the star of the motion picture
version of one of his greatest
stage successes.
The theme of Berkeley Square"
is one of the most unusual ever
conceived. Peter Standish of the
present generation goes back $50
years in time to become the Peter
StandiSh of 1884, and to find him
self in love with girl whom his
tory told him could never be his.
A story of tender emotions, of
tragic remuneration and of an en-
during love, Berkeley Square"
was selected as one of the 10 best
pictures of 1888 by the Film Daily
nationwide poll of newspaper
critics.
Leslie Towards characterization
is one that will be long remem-
bered. Fear, despair, humor, pas
sion, nervous arrangement alter
nately control Peter StandiSh, and
Howard caught every shade of
emotion. Fine performances are
contributed by Heather Angel, as
his sweetheart of bygone days, by
Valerie Taylor, Beryl Mercer,
Betty LaWford and other mem
bers of the supporting cast.

Polo joe With
Joe Z. Brown

The week before Christmas will
be marked with a gala special
show for the whole family at
Warner Bros. Earle Theater. On
the screen, Joe E. Brown will be
presented in polo joe" one of his
merriest comedies, and Josephine
Huston, musical comedy singing
star, will head variety program
on the stage.
polo Joe" presents the wide
mouthed Mr.. Brown as a young
man who likes almost anything
except horses. When Carol Hughes
comes into his life, clad in a natty
pair of jodphurs, and Joe dis
covers that she and her whole
family are crazy about the four
footed Steeds, he does an about
face to describe himself as a cham
pion at polo.
Naturally, when Joe E. Brown
does an about-face, the event is
much bigger than uSual-and the
result in this new film Is one of
the most hilarious sports events
ever filmed, with Joe forced into
the saddle to make good his
claims.
On the stage, Josephine Huston
will offer a series of song hits
in the manner which won her ap-
plause in Life Begins at $40"
and the Ziegfeld "Follies." Other
entertainers will include Harris,
Claire and Shannon, ultra-smart
dancers, with Elizabeth Houston
and Don Harden; Ray Wilbert,
novelty entertainer, and Loyal's
Arabian Stations, a surprise act.
