 COMEDY FILM
Ann Sothern, Jack Haley Co-Star in Riotous Story
 of Summer Theatre

The Girl Friend" starring Ann Sothern and Jack Haley, plays for the last times tonight at the Coli scum Theatre.
 With Miss Sothern as a demure country miss, 'The Girl Friend concerns itself with the hilarious complications that beset Roger Pryor as an out-of- work actor, when he pretends to be theatrical producer just to secure summers lodging for himself and his two colleagues, Vic tor Kilian and Ray Walker.
 Jack Haley portrays Miss Sotherns brother, as an aspiring playwright trying to crash fame with a play about Napoleon. When the trio, headed by Pryor, comes to the ram bling farmhouse of Haley and Miss Sothern, a great deaI of interest is shown in the Napoleonic tragedy. To them the whole thing is just a com edy stunt. but the situation becomes acute when Haley mortgages the old homestead to raise enough money to convert the barn into a little theatre for a try-out of his play.
