Hugh Herbert — whose especial brand of laughmaking is so individual — and whose fluttery and tittering antics have made him a favorite wherever films are known — is at his best as the wealthy and eccentric art collector, Thomas J. Jesse, who aids and abets Jimmy the elevator boy, and Nancy, the parlor maid — along the rocky road of love. “That Man’s Here Again,” while one of the most hilarious of films has its tender moments — hitting the heart as often as it hits the funny bone and holding the suspense to the final fadeout. Nancy, the maid, is marvelously portrayed by Mary Maguire — a tiny brunette but lately from Australia, so we read — and just turned seventeen. Her performance is naive, sincere and altogether charming. Jimmy the elevator boy, is ingratiatingly played by the youthful and museular Tom Brown — the lad with the tilt-to-the-nose the happy-go-lucky way with him —that plays hob with the feminine members of the audience — and keeps the hearty good will of the male contingent while doing it. His Jimmy Whalen will delight you. There is a bouncing baby in the show, too — one of those dimpled two-tooth, rolypoly bits of humanity that bring out ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ and ‘Isn’t he so-and-sos’ from everybody in the house.

Everyone Meets At Hollywood’s Famous Corners It has been said that whoever sits long enough at a sidewalk table before the Cafe de la Paix in Paris will see everybody he has ever known. The same may now be said of a certain restaurant in the cinema capital at the corner of Vine and Hollywood Boulevard. People from the far reaches of the world wind up there and meet their friends. True Hollywoodites are no longer surprised. It takes a newcomer to the colony like Mary Maguire, seventeen years old and only a few months away from Australia, to be thrilled at the sight of people she had never dreamed of finding in Hollywood. Miss Maguire, during the time she was working in ‘‘That Man’s Here Again,’’ the First National comedy-romance now showing at thease Theatre, ran into each of the three directors under whom she had made her three Australian films. First she met the man who directed her in Australia and came to Hollywood recently to go on as an actor and director. The next day she ran into Pat Hanna, for whom she had also made an Australian film. Charles Chauvel, the director of her first picture in Australia, came along a couple of weeks later. ‘‘But all the time I’ve been in Hollywood,’’ Mary says, ‘‘I have yet to run into Louis King, who is directing my first American picture. I guess it really is only a small world if you run into folks you knew nine thousand miles away. ‘<That Man’s Here Again’’ is a delightful comedy-romance of boy-and-girl love, with Tom Brown and Miss Maguire, as the juvenile leads, and with Hugh Herbert in the goofiest, giddiest role of his career as a middle-aged and eccentric art collector who manipulates things so that the youngsters achieve happiness. Others in the cast are Joseph King, Teddy Hart, Arthur Aylesworth, Dorothy Vaughan and Tetsu Komai. Louis King directed the picture from a screen play by Lillie Hayward, based on a story by Ida A. R. Wylie. HUGH HERBERT NEVER MINUS FANS ON SET Hugh Herbert, who is playing the giddiest, goofiest and most amusingly amiable role of his career in ‘‘That Man’s Here Again’’ the First National comedy now at the 2 ae Theatre, doesn ’t know what it is not to have an audience when at work on the set. Contrary to the usual habit of lamenting the absence of audiences when working before the single eye of the camera, Herbert laments that he doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Every time the call sheet lists him for work on a certain set at a certain time, he can be sure that there will be an audience to work to, in addition to the greater audience represented by the lens of the camera. He has_ never worked in a scene which hasn’t been watched by at least a dozen visitors from other sets. The audience in Herbert’s case does not inelude the regular set workers, although they are just as appreciative of his humor as the visitors. Herbert counts only people who are not connected with the picture on which he is working. Stars, supervisors, writers, extras, directors, technicians, are represented in his personal audiences. All of them manage to find a few spare minutes to watch him work. ‘““You can’t expect any dissertations from me.’’ he says, ‘‘on the difference between audiences and no audiences, and it’s too bad because I have a swell idea for a dissertation on the subject.’’ ‘“‘That Man’s Here Again’’ is a delightful comedy romance of boy-and-girl love, with Tom Brown as the lad, and a new and beautiful 17-year-old lass Mary Maguire, recently arrived from Australia, as the feminine lead. It is Hugh Herbert who dominates the future as the middle-aged and eccentric art collector who manipulates things so that the youngsters achieve happiness. Others in the cast are Joseph King, Teddy Hart, Arthur Aylesworth, Dorothy Vaughan and Tetsu Komai. Louis King directed the picture from a screen play by Lillie Hayward, based on a story by Ida A. R.
