Lillums Loved Him — Someone Had To — So He Blundered Along —
"HAROLD TEEN"
The Boob of a Billion Laughs Will Get You Too!
Carl Ed's Comic Strip Character, Known to 32,500,000 Newspaper Readers, Provides One of Year's Funniest Films with Arthur Lake in Titile Role
THEY didn't make them much dumber than Harold. He used his raincoat for a ?4-sheet and his Ford was a wise-cracking radio.
The world rose and fell in HI* Lillums. The trouble was Harold got into a fight at school and didn't know enough to quit when he was beaten so they thought he was a glutton for punishment and took him into the fraternity. The first promise he had to make was not to "date" a girl for a week. And Lillums was coming to town that day.
He squared it finally after he put over his Harold Teen drag and his Gedunk sundae.
There's an abundance of exploitation material in this comedy, the dance, the sundae, the cartoon strip, the cast, the school movie of which Harold is the hero, the football game in which he almost scores a touchdown against his own side and the constant appeal to the younger generation. In actual clocked laughs the picture will back up any comedy predictions made for it.
Take our word for it — it's one of the rarest comedies in months. Arthur Lake personifies the cartoon character abs'lutely. And with him in the cast are: Mary Brian, Lucien Littlefield, Alice White, Hedda Hopper, Jack Duffy and Jack Egan. Tom Geraghty adapted the story and Mervyn Leroy directed this Allan Dwan production for Robert Kane.
Harold Teen and Lillums thought Leaping Lena was great shakes! It was.
When Harold Teen invented The Gedunk Sundae he Started a Great Idea That Every Exhibitor Will Have a Chance To Cash In On Shortly.
Harold had never been in a real fight before. He thought the 20th Century locomotive hit him when Cousin Horace made a Firpo rush. The high school sheiks were ready to give Harold the razz but they had Giggles to contend with.
Harold and Giggles — don't they look sappy?
