Bradley Page Directed by Phil Rosen This is a mildly amusing, light-weight farce that has enough crook business to get it by on dual bills in nabe spots. While the laughs don't come as frequently as was intended by the script, the plot moves at a fair pace and holds the spectator's interest. It involves a mix-up of identities, with swindler pitted against swindler and blustering father making matters worse by his blundering attempts to prevent his daughter from marrying one of the slickers. Parts are glaringly reminiscent, as for instance, the auto selling gag that was in a two reel comedy some time back, and the gal showing 'em gag to get a hitch hike from "It Happened One Night," but both situations bring laughs. Cast is a pleasant and capable one. "Three" will satisfy pop audiences, if paired with a strong drama or action picture. PLOT: Chandler, truck driver for Carle's laundry, wins bonus with which he decides to put up a "front," figuring the better he looks, the better the chances of getting somewhere. Evalyn Knapp, Carle's daughter, is stuck on Page, a seashore sub-division swindler. To get him out of a ritzy hotel, where he is stranded New 'Zombie' Faces Court A "battle of the Zombies" is reported brewing in the New York courts. S. S.
