Corporation

NEW YORK, Sept 28.-Carstairs
Bros. Distilling Co, Inc. announces
the appointment of James A. Hool

BOBBY BREEN IS
SINGING in HIS
NEWEST FEATURE
Fisherman 5 Wharf" Is at
Capitol : CoIorfuI
Scenes Shown

Drumming with human interest
and rich with humor, Bobby Breen's
newest and most appealing motion
picture, "Fishermans Wharf, is
at the Capitol tonight for the last
times. With young Bobby as the star
and featuring Leo Carrillo Henry
Armetta, Lee Patrick and Slicker,
the famous acting seal, at the head
of its supporting cast, the film stands
apart as a screen vehicle.
Bobby himself, as the rough,
happy lucky son of GARLIC, a
Sicilian fisherman OF San Francisco,
has never been seen to better adj
vantage; in his new role he displays
talents only suggested in his past
performances. With a song on his
lips and pair of clinched fists, he
sails into this new characterization
with a vitality and yirility not be-
fore revealed Gone is the goody-
goody boy; he now stands on his
own two sturdy feet and let's fists
and quips fall where they may.
Another factor which places this
picture above previous Breen films
is the fact that the story locale
offers a unique background. Laid
against a setting of San F'rancisco's
colorful Fisherman's Wharf and the
famous Golden Gate Bay area, the
film for the first time projects the
picturesque and gay life of what is
frequently called the American Med
iterranean
Many of the scenes show a num-
Der of San Franciscos famous
landmarks-theG Golden Gate Bridge,
Alcatraz Island Treasure Island,
home of the 1899 Exposition, and
the Ferry Building.
