DOUGLAS MACLEAN TO-NIGHT

Into the Sultans’ harem .'with Doug Mac Lean as our harem-searein guide ! A hundred miles an hour with a. smile at every mile ! Don’t miss it ! “Something now under the sun ” is exactly what Douglas Mac Lea- is offering tonight at the Princess Theatre in his refreshingly novel Paramount comedy, “Soft Cushions.” Abandoning the formula developed by several screen generations of comedians, Mac Lean successfully pioneers in a brand new field with this story from the pen of the late George Randolph Chester. Against the pictorially beautiful background of the Orient, Mac-Lean in the role of a romantic young “ Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” plays a’ laugh-a-second comedy composed of equal quantities of romance, thrills, guffaws, chuckles arid good old-fashioned laughs. The picture avoids the contusion of characters that has maned’ previous attempts to win laughs in oriental costuming, and Director Eddie Cline, who ' piloted Mac Lean in “ Let It Rain,” has maintained the fast tempo demanded of present-day comedy. Sue Carol, the Chicago beauty Mac Lean discovered and placed under a long-term contract heads a notable cast which includes Richard Carle, the well-known musical comedy star;, Albert Gran, 4 Wade Boteler, Russell Powell, Frank Leigh, Nigel dfe Brulier, Albert Prisco, Boris Karloff, Fred Ivelsey, and others. The usual supports will also be shown. Oil Friday next Rin Tin Tin in “Hills of' Iventucky.” ,
