'EvERYB0DY'5 HOBBY NEW COMEDY PICTURE
 ON COLISEUM SCREEN

"Everybody's Hobby a Warner Bros. comedy with melodramatic touches, featuring Irene Rich and Henry ONeill, which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, is bona fide slice of American life. Its characters are representative of just about every man, woman. boy and girl in this nation.
 The citizens of this nation may differ sectionally, but in one re- spect they are nearly all brothers and sisters under the skin, and that is that they nearly all have a hobby.
 And "Everybody's Hobby is a picture which, while it gently satir- izes this matter of hobbies, essen- italy argues that it is good thing for mankind in general and for individuals in particular that they devote their surplus energies as- siduously to the pursuit of some avocation far removed from their mandatory business, home or school interests.

production of the Philip Barry Broadway stage hit, is a blessed change from the bright and scin- tillant whimsies of modern times. With Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant co-starred, the attraction vibrates with life. The film is packed with humor, with human humor instead of zany antics. Its situations are the normal ones of reality, and not the insane jocu- larities of the recent crop of cock eyed comedies.
 Holiday presents a rebellious socialite who knows a real man when she sees one, and young man who insists upon doing his own groping in life's grabbag, rather than marry million dollar baby.
