PACE FOUR 7: Theatrical News PUTS PEP IN SLEEPY TOWN "Grandma's Boy" lives in Blos- som Bend, one of those slow towns where the Tuesday morning Express arrives Wednesday afternoon--if Monday's train gets out of the way! Harold Lloyd is '"'Grandma's Boy," RITA WRITES FINE PHOTOPLAY -- For William de Mille, Paramount Director, "AFTER THE SHOW" That the .modern play or photo- play should be : built up with the theme and characters as its founda- tion, is the theory of Rita Weiman, noted playwright and short story writer, who was engaged especially to write the photoplay for William de Mille's latest production, "After the Show" which will be the feature at the Regent Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Miss Weiman is prominent as a playwright and author because of the success of several of her plays and short stories in the past two or three years, Her latest play, 'The Acquittal," en- joyed long runs and was praised by critics, Her short stories published in the Saturday Evening Post include "The Stage Door," on which 'After the Show' is based, "The Lizard," "The Back Drop," "Footlights," "Curtain," and "Madame Peacock." LLOYD IN OOMEDY OF THE UN- DER DOG Harold Lloyd in "Grandma's Boy" his newest comedy in five parts, plays the part of a country hoy who was afraid. He had no more spirit than a jack rabbit, The other kids had knocked enough chips off his shoulders to start a lumber yard. As a baby he was afraid to call his cra- dle his own. At school he wore great holes in his stockings, where his knees shook together, At nine- teen he was meek, modest and re- tiring. The Boy's most preclous possession was his old-fashioned Grandma, When the Girl came into his life, and then a Rival who was a big bul- ly, the Boy's days were made miser- able. Then came realization of his weakness and cowardice, How he goes out and conquers his fear, cap- tures a desperate criminal that has terrorized the community, thrashes the Bully and wins the Girl provides "Grandma's Boy" with a real, dra- matic story and a host of opportuni- ties for hilarious ' situations and "gags" and some great thrills. The Regent Theatre will present Harold Lloyd in "Grandma's Boy" for a three day run commencing Thursday, Ye a THE DUMBELLS and his Grandma is Mrs. Anna Town- send, a dear old lady 79 years old.

Needless to say there was a crowd- ed house and that everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest, The program was a varied one and from the beginning to the end there was not an idle moment, A Theatre Party and Cabaret is new to Oshawa and those who at- tended the Regent on Tuesday night will long remember the unique and spectacular program that was car- ried out, What is undoubtedly a national institution and which has been ac- claimed as something apart from the conventional is the offering at New Martin Theatre on Friday, November Monday's suds cleanse duds.

One evening recently, if it left Whitby on time, in coming to Myrtle, a distance of nine miles, it lost an hour and a half, One could walk the distance in that time, One is led to corroborate Sir Con- an Doyle's assertion that "spirits laugh." Hallowe'en night, the fair- ies (spirits) made such a racket try- ing to unloosen a gate that t in- mates of the house were awakéned, and a woman went out in her night attire to Investigate, W they saw her--it was a fine moonlight night--they emitted such haw haws as nothing but a donkey could equal --gplirits laugh alright, The~usual pranks were carried out, gates car- ried away and everything on Wheels that could be got at, moved ta unex- pected quarters and upset, but no damage done--except to raise the ire of some of the touchy ones.
