L. A. Dailies Give Honors To
Christie Comedy on Bill
Three Los Angeles daily papers reviewed the Christie Comedy attraction “Second Childhood” at Grauman’s Million Dollar Theatre recently and all gave first honors over the other features to the comedy number.
The Examiner said: “The best feature on the bill this week is the Christie Comedy ‘Second Childhood’ with a really funny story, not precisely new, but hysterically entertaining in its developments.”
The Herald said: “The film is clean, wholesome and entertaining and also has an interesting'plot. The house fully enjoyed the comedy offering as much as the feature.”
The Express said: “But Bobby Vernon in knee breeches and bobbed hair as Little Oscar in the comedy yarn from Christie, is worth the price of admission.”
Babies Welcome.
There has been no equal to this comedy, for all-round appeal and general merit, in some time. Women, who are not usually slapstick comedy enthusiasts, will welcome this one because it is above the'usual variety, and may be more accurately described as a farce. — M. P. World.
Hazel From Hollywood.
So much has been said and done about Hollywood, so many pictures have been introduced of the lives and loves of the famous screen idols who live and work there, that without a travesty on the affairs, the score would not be complete. And leave it to the Christie Comedians to put the final touches to the hilarious side of the situation in “Hazel From Hollywood”, the newest and greatest Christie Comedy to date, which graces the sparkling Jefferson show. — Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.
A Hula Honeymoon.
When on the trail of a good comedy, don’t overlook this one. In addition to being entertaining farce, it also answers the description of novelty. The exteriors, obviously taken on actual locations, are interesting, in addition to the comedy that is held at race-horse tempo throughout, resulting in a worth-while two-reeler, apt to amuse generally. — M. P. News.
