Two Special Comedies Listed By Century for November JULIUS AND ABE STERN, officials of the Century Film Corporation, announce an unusual schedule of releases for the month of November. Five two-reelers will be released in all, including a new Buster Brown Comedy and a Century Special entitled "Red Riding Hood." "Red Riding Hood" is a screen adaptation of the famous fairy story and was made with an all-star cast. Included in those who took part in this production are Arthur Trimble, now popular as Buster Brown, Baby Peggy, Louise Lorraine and Peter the Great, the famous dog star. Peter the Great, not to be confused with Pete the dog comedian, now playing Tige in the Buster Brown comedies, is seen in "Red Riding Hood" as the Wolf. The Century release schedule includes comedies by Edna Marion, Wanda Wiley and Eddie Gordon, in addition to the two aforementioned. The first release for the month will be "Nursery Troubles," an Edna Marian Century Comedy directed by William Watson. It depicts, Edna as a nurse-maid in a babychecking establishment. Besides containing several amusing and entertaining baby sequences, in which a dozen or more of lusty infants provide sentiment and comedy, "Nursery Troubles" shows Edna in a delightful role, filled with humor and laughable escapades. It is scheduled for release November 4th. The next Century release, on November 11th, will be "A Taxi War," in. which Eddie Gordon is seen as a belligerent taxi-driver, whose chief rival is played by Larry Richardson. Their troubles and battles will afford great satisfaction and amusement to anyone who ever harbored vengeance against a taxidriver. It was directed by Noel Smith. On November 18th, a new Wanda Wiley Comedy will be released. It is "A Speedy Marriage," and was directed by Edward I. Luddy. Miss Wiley's chief support in this two-reeler is Charles King. Its action concerns her escapades in dodging a group of persistent motorcycle cops, and the various disguises and occupations she takes to throw them oflf the track. The Century Special, "Red Riding Hood." will be released November 21st. It is an ideal picture for children, and makes the fairy story thrilling and graphic, while at the same time, including many comedy scenes and laughable situations. Baby Peggy makes an ideal "Red Riding Hood." Some of the film is in color, and the tie-up with the title is doubly effective. The last Century release of the month, on November 2Sth, will be "Oh, Buster," the third of the Buster Brown comedy scries, and said to be far superior to the first two which now are establishing new records for Century Comedies. "Oh, Buster" was directed by Gus Meins, a newcomer to the Century Burns Starts New Comedy Neal Burns has started on his new comedy at the Christie Studios, under the direction of Harold Beaudine. Yola d'Avril, formerly of the Parisian stage and of the "Follies" is appearing opposite Burns in his current vehicle.
