EVERYBODY’S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY. ; WILL ROGERS IN “YOUNG AS YOU FEEL” In “Young As You Feel,” his latest Fox starring picture, Will Rogers discards the personal habits of a lifetime i and disappears for the first time on j stage or screen as a well groomed, . Bond Street tailored gentleman, j Rogers'has»not gone Hollywood. His 1 striking wardrobe is a definite part of ; the very human characterisation Rog- ; ers portrays as “Lemuel Morehouse," dyspeptic, grouchy old fogey, who, is compelled db turn ..ultign'jnodern as an example for his two sons. “Young As You Feel”, which'!is the screen version ' of George Ade’s hilarious play. ‘“Fath- : ! ; e r And The Boys” and which opens i at the Princess. Theatre to-night deals ■ with the widowed' father of two modern sons, a man who has devoted his L life to their interest) and who wishes them to settle down to business and ■ become, happy, contented husbands. ‘The hoys, howeyer, have other ideas. One goes in heavily for society, while f the other makes of sport a mania. ,■ Then Rogers resorts to desperate measvures. \A revolution takes 'place in bis \ character, brought about by a chance ' meeting with a. professional entertain- . er, portrayed \by Fifi Donsay, with whom Rogers made so much hilarity lin “They Had To. See Paris.’’ From' I a staid,'-’ opinionated, dyspeptic, setl in-his Ways old Id'gey Rogers changes t over-night into a gay blade. His neg- . lect of business is appalling to his ■ general manager, played bv Lumen ' j Littlefield., . and_ a'decided shock, to his sons; but Rogers and Fifi ignore all protests and continue their Wald rounds of night clubs and race tracks. Gossip begins to fly which is just needed element to bring his sons to i^their--senses and make them settle down to business. “Young As You Feel” is reported to he the best picture Will Rogers has made to date. It combines the homely wit of George Ade’s characteristic slang and the infectious humor of Rogers. In addition to -Fifi Dor say and Lucien Littlefield, Rogers’ supporting cast includes Donald Dillaway, Terrance Ray, Rosalie Roy, Lucile Browne and others. Frank Rorzage, who directed Rogers in “They. Had To See Paris”, directed the production. iji —————— /
