PAGE 6 — “MARRY THE GIRL” — PUBLICITY Half of Them Are Crazy To Marry And The Other Half Are Just Crasy! Why look through the open door when you can peep through the key-hole? sional way! “I don’t hear a thing—I guess nobody’s home.” Well, he’s more than half right. He had to have the comic section immediately—so that he could make a fire hat out of it. When you hear the gong it will be exactly midnight — and there’ll be plenty of stars. Posed by Hugh Her bert and other mem bers of ‘Marry the Girl,” now at the............ bird eek rade rttele Theatre. Special price of roc on these four mats of pictures and head (not type)—Order No. 1o01-B. That’s the profes Mischa Auer Aped Way To Comedy Mischa Auer, who has one of the leading roles in the all-star Warner Bros. farce-comedy “Marry The Girl,” which is now on view at the Theatre, found a chandelier to be the turning point in his career. He was hanging from it! Up until he did his famous gorilla-man act on the sereen in “My Man Godfrey,” Auer, who is of the Russian intelligentsia, had been confined to heavy roles on the sereen. He was a villain of one kind and another, a spy, a prisoner of war, a Russian soldier, many things, but never a comedian. To compensate for the repression of his comic urge Auer developed a gorilla-man routine which was always in demand at parties. But he never got a chance to do ecomedy on the screen until Gregory LaCava saw him ao that act at a party. He was signed for a comic almost on the spot. _ Since that time he has been a comedian on the screen, and his salary has gone far above the highest point to which he could achieve as a “heavy.” “They’re keeping me busy,” he says, “and I like it. Maybe soon they’ll give me a chance to play a ‘heavy’ again, just for the change. I’d like that, I think, because it’s harder to be funny consistently than it is to be serious.” “Marry The Girl” is a rollicking farce-comedy with an outstanding cast of talented and famed fun-makers. Among them are Frank MeHugh, Hugh Herbert, Mary: Boland, Auer, Carol Hughes, Allen Jenkins, Olin Howland, Alan Mowbray, Teddy Hart and Charles Judels. William McGann directed the picture from a screen play by Sig Herzig, Pat C. Flick and Tom Reed, based on a novel by Edward ‘Hope.

Naturalism Is Mode Of Acting Today Gestures And Expressions Are No Longer Necessary Says Frank Mc Hugh, Comic ‘‘Neither Booth nor Barrett, two of the greatest actors ever to tread the boards, could get to first base on the stage or screen today.’’ Frank McHugh, exponent of realistic comedy, who is now starring for Warner Bros. in ‘‘Marry The Girl,’’ at the on a Horse,” delivered this blast at dramatic tradition, illustrating it with gestures. Having been in the theatre for 30 of his 39 years, he ought to know whereof he speaks. “They were the best of their time, but times have changed,” McHugh continued. “They would be hooted off the stage if they were to appear today and, as far as the screen goes, I don’t think they could get a test. “Naturalism is the style today. Restraint and understatement help along. Those sweeping gestures and round expressions of eloquence of twenty and even ten years ago are out. It’s realism that’s in demand. An actor has to be a real person. There are still hang-overs from the old style, but the market in ham has dropped to a depression, almost a panic, level, as far as acting goes. “Tt used to be elocution in a big way. Now it’s acting the way people really are, in speech and gesture. This may be due to the advent of sound.” “Marry The Girl” is presented by an outstanding cast of talented and famed fun-makers. Among them are McHugh, Hugh Herbert, Mary Boland, Mischa Auer, Carol Hughes, Allen Jenkins, Olin Howland, Alan Mowbray, Teddy Hart and Charles Judels.
