GRAND THEATRE

TO-NIGHT Breezy is the word that adequately doscribes "Maybe It's Love," the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone comedydrama which opens to-night at the Grand Theatre. It is a delightfully entertaining picture, imparting the cayefree gayety and romance that is part of modern college life. Young people will adore it while the oldtimers can sit back and enjoy a few hours of renewed youth and amusing memories. One of the oustanding features of this film is the fact that it contains a genuine "all-American" gridiron eleven. This is the first time that a real team of this sort has ap1 peared in a screen production and more interesting is the fact that each bay has a role. And how they play football. The story, refreshing in itself and , capably acted by a clever group of film favourites, is of a lovely young co-ed whose father, president of the college, is threatened with a forced resignation because Upton has not won a "big game" in eleven years. The pretty co-ed, who has been hiding her beauty 'neath horn-rimmed specs • and prim clothes suddenly changes into a ravishing flirt. This on the advice, and with the assistanee of, Speed Hanson, the campps clown. In this new guise she vamps a star group of players to Upton College, pretends she loves them all and really does fall in love with one, Tommy Nelson. Of course, there are complications but it's fun and everything turns out right for the lovers and dear old Alma Mater. Joan Bennett is exquisite as the co-ed and James Hall, as handsome Tommy Nelson. Speed Hanson, in the person of Joe E. Brown, has many hilarious moments. Laura Lee capably assists Brown with the comedy.
