Two Comedies
At Little =

The Little Theater's conten-
ton that it has for sale the
greatest collection Of laughs
ever presented on one theater
program" is not disproved by an
examination Of the bill, for the
double-feature presentation at
the Ninth Street house does
offer far more than the usual
quota Of chuckles. The films are
IF I Had a Million" and Horse
feathers" both of which proved
to be just what the box office
needed a few years ago. Their
appeal for those who want q
succession of laughs prompted
by amusingly unreal activities is
retained.
IF I Had a Million" story Of
an old gentleman who is deter.
mined to confound those wait
ing for his demise by diSposing
of his fortune to ordinary people
found listed on ordinary pages
of the city directory, has been
revived repeatedly, but it re-
mains an item of considerable
entertainment. Almost anyone
who has a favorite among Hol.
lywood'S solo comedy perform
ers will find that favorite in the
cast of this picture. In the roles
of people who benefit by the
unusual grants are Gary Cooper,
George Raft, Charles Laughton,
Jack Oakie, Charlie Ruggles,
Alison Skipworth, w. s. Fields,
Mary Boland, Roscoe Karns and
May Robson.
"Horsefeathers" was one OF the
more favorably-received efforts
of the Marx Brothers when they
numbered four for screen pur-
poses. It is typical of the quar-
tets vehicles in those days, and
furnishes a satisfactory portion
or slapstick comedy to compile
ment the styles presented by the
other feature.

Iiss Young who recently came

number of the stars threatened
an autograph strike"
I'm more than ten years in
the movies" said Loretta Young.
Il can remember only five times
when fans were rude. Nearly
everyone VINO wants me to sign
an autograph book is courteous
and profuse with thanks. Why,
only once when they hemmed
me in and I explained that I
had only a few minutes to catch
a train, the fans made a flying
wedge through the crowd and
got me safely aboard"
And Joel McCrea recently was
cheered by a throng at a Holly.

days work in Three Blind

more than 500 who were waiting
for the second show. The the
ater manager spotted Joel (he's
6-feet-N and offered to take him
inside. Thanks" he replied.
But a lot Of these people were
