WALLACE BEERY COMEDY AT TOWiN HALL.
“Old Man Gloom,” nemesis of all that makes life worth while, is due for one of the most terrific jolts of his career on Wednesday, when Wallace Beery’s current Paramount comedy, “Casey at the Bat,” comes to the Town Hall Cabaret. Fresh from triumphs in “Behind the Front,” “Weire in the Navy Now” and “Old Ironsides,” Beery is said to heap new laurels upon himself in this rollicking, laugh-a-minute picture of the diamond. Good as the last three Beery vehicles were, well, just wait —that’s all! In “Casey at the Bat,” directed by Monte Brice, the star portrays the immortal ‘Casey,’ America’s best known and most beloved baseball character. Ford Sterling, featured in the supporting cast, plays the part of a scout from the New York Giants while Sterling Holloway, famed Broadway stage comedian, enacts Beery’s crooked ma'nager. The “incorporated” girl is Za'Su Pitts. With supports at usual Cabaret prices. “The Man Upstairs,” will be Friday’s feature film. Chun Yuen Tai, Chinese Variety Act, has been booked as an added vaudeville attraction for Saturday next.
