, “IS ZAT SO.” “Is Za,t So?” And the answer is, “It is,” one of the most amusing pictures in many months if not of the entire season. Of course we refer to Fox Films screen version of the great Broadway stage hit, which shows at the Town Hall tonight. There may be nothing new under the sun, but there is something decidedly novel in the idea of a prize tighter and his manager breaking into high society and staging a bout in the conservatory of a Fifth Avenue mansion and then winning the hearts and hands of two of its inmates. The contrast between the pugilist, played by George O’ißrien and the gay man-about : town, played by Douglas ■ Fairbanks, Jr., and the fight manager, played by Edmund Lowe, and the society leader, played by Cyril Chadwick, furnish many hilarious episodes. “Is Zat So?” is a nerve tonic and a picture to give, in the language of the film, the “knockout to Old Man Gloom.” Also “The Misfit” (Comedy), News and Screen snaps. Usual prices. A fire fighting drama “The False Alarm,” will head Monday’s programme. Ralph Lewis, Mary Carr and Maurice Costello play the leading roles. Usual prices.
