“FIG LEAVES.”
Prehistoric monsters and modern beauty, to say nothing of some marvelous technicolor sequences of the Garden of Eden, are combined in “Fig Leaves,” a Howard Hawk’s production for Fox Films, which screen on Friday at the Town Hall. Olive Borden and George O’Brien are ideally cast in the leading romantic roles. This is a story of the trials and mishals of a modern Eve, who, like her sister of the long ago, is tempted when the serpent whispers sinister suggestions. In the case of the modern Eve Miss Borden, as the wife of a plumber, is baited with fine clothes by Andre, a fashionable designer, who dictates the fashions for women. How the beautiful Eve outwits the designer and brings happiness to her household forms the basis for a remarkably well-knit story. Also Van Bibber comedy “The Swimming Instructor.” Usual prices. The big attraction for Saturday is the Lon Chaney feature “The Road to Mandalay.” A mammoth hit! Lon Chaney as the fate-smit-ten keeper of a Shanghai boarding house, Owen Moore as a luckless ship’s officer, Lois Moran as the girl they revered and strove to shield from the mystic influences of the Orient. Magnificent drama! Prices as usual.
