TOWN HALL. It’s time for Foxton to see “Time to Love,” Raymond Griffith’s new Paramount farce. This story of a young man, who, disillusioned in love, tries to commit suicide, only to fall in love more violently than ever, arrives at the Town Hall Cabaret on Wednesday. Vera Voronina is the new object of his affections, while William Powell proceeds to place such small obstacles in his path as a pistol duel, an arrest, a wedding, and finally a balloon ascension with soldiers trying to puncture the air bag! “Time to Love” was directed by Frank Tuttle, the maker of “Kid Boots.” Also “Papas Best” (comedy), News and Magazine. Cabaret prices. George K. Arthur, who was prominest in “Rookies,” plays the leading role in Friday’s laugh picture “The Boob,” a story of a modern Don Quixote. Usual prices. ROYAL.
