“LIGHTNIN” TO-NIGHT.
Comedy vies ■with" drama in “Lightnin,” Will Rogers’ latest Fox Movietone picture''V be screened tonight and Tuesday. As the habitually idle whimsical old tippler and dreamer, .“Lightnin’ Bil Jones,” Rogers, has a role that excels his remarkably characterisations in “They Had to See Paris arid "So this is London.” Rogers does not rip open the divorce evil, hut pokes good fun at it. It is, perhaps, the best entertainment the screen has produced;. A supporting cast, headed by Louise Dressier, contributes much to the success of the picture. Miss Dressier portrays “Lightnin’s” wife and while famous for her mother roles, gives a performance that surpasses all her previous efforts. Others are Helen Cohan, youngest daughter of George M. Cohen, who make her screen debut in this'picture, Joel McCrea, Jason Richards, Luke Cosgrave, Frank Campeau, J. M; Kerrigan, Ruth Warren, Sharon Lynn, Joyce Compton, Rex Bell and Charlotte Walker.
