EVERYBODY’S PICTURES. 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 and disappears for the first time on stage or screen as a well groomed, Bond Street tailored gentleman. Rogers has not gone Hollywood. His striking wardrobe is a definite part of the very human characterisation Rogers portrays as “Lemuel Morehouse, ' dyspeptic, grouchy old fogey who is compelled to turn ultra modern as an example for his two sons. “Young As You Feel”, which is the screen version of George Ade’s hilarious play, “‘Father And the Boys” which; j concludes at the Princess Theatre to-night deals with the widowed father of two modern sons, a man who lias devoted his life to their interest and who wishes them to settle down to business and become happy, contented • husbgnds. The boys, 1 however, have other ideas. One goes in heavily for society, while the other makes of sport a maniaThen Rogers resorts to desperate measures. A revolution takes place in his character, brought about by a chance meeting with a. professional entertainer, portrayed by Fifi Dorsay, with, whom Rogers made so much hilarity in “They Had To See Paris.” From a staid, opinionated, dyspeptic, set-in-his ways old fogey Rogers changes over-night into a gay blade. His neglect of business is appalling to his general manager, ‘ played bv Lucien Littlefield, and a decided, shock to his sons; but Rogers and Fifi ignore all protests and continue their wild rounds of night clubs and race tracks. Gossip begins to 'fly which is just the needed element to bring his sons to their senses and make them settle down to business. “Young As You Feel” is reported to be 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 Dorsay and’ Lucien Littlefield. Rogers’ supporting cast, includes Donald" Dill away, Terrance Ray; 'Rosalie Roy, Lucile Browpe and others. Frank Borzage, who directed • Rogers in “They Had To See directed the production.
