REGINALD DENNY IN “ GOOD * MORNING JUDGE” TO-NIGHT

“‘Good Morning Judge ” the funniest picture Reginald Denny ever made, has -been booked by the Princess Theatre and will open here to-night. Denny has long been the screen’s com,edian par excellence, but in this Universal picture he reachesd the pinnacle of his mirth-provoking qualities. Imagine Denny as a wealthy young' man who confesses to the most dastardly crimes so that 'he may remain in a charity mission for homeless crooks and be near the girl he loves. And all the time the girl is trying to reform him. The star breezes through the role in his usual laugh-winning manner. Audiences have laughed aplenty at him in former pictures, but “Good Morning Judge,” will arouse a regular cyclone of rib-tickling; hilarity. The girl is played by. blonde. Mary Nolan. Miss Nolan an importation from U.F.A. in Germany is already recognised as one of Hollywood’s most beautiful and capable heroines. She is a perfect foil for the irresistible Dennyesque humour. An admirable selection of players are in the supporting eafct. T)orpth'y-Gulli-ver, AVampus Baby Star of 1928, plays the sister of Denny. Miss Gulliver is favourably known as the leading lady of the famous “Collegians” series. Otis Harlan, wlio§e walk Mone slits up ■many a giggle, portrays an old bum. Bull Montana and Sailor STiarkey play crooks. William Davidson, William Worthington, and Charles Coleman are also in the cast. William A. Seiter, who has directed many of the star’s successes, wielded the megaphone •on '“Good Morning Judge.” The DennySeiter combination has been responsible for such hits as “Where Was 1? ,*• Skinner’s Dress Suit,” “Rolling Home,” “Take It from Me,” “The Cheerful Fraud ’’ and others. Harry O; Hoyt wrote the original screen §tory. .*■' A topical and comedy will also be shown to night. Pn Fridsv next Ken Maynard in “ The Canyon of Adventure.”
