“THE KID BROTHER”
AT THREE THEATRES Lovers of the great outdoors have a •treat in store for them when Harold Lloyd’s next gloomchaser, “The Kid Brother,” comes to the Princess, Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres on Thursday, because the greater portion of the picture was made in the open spaces
of California. The Lasky Ranch, in Dark Canyon, just outside Hollywood, provided a large measure of the locale in “The Kid Brother,” while the beautiful waters of Avalon Bay also provided their quota of “shots.” The stroy of “The
Kid Brother” is set in a tiny town nestling in the mountain foothills. Lloyd gets away from the stereotyped feud yarn, which has been done to death in motion pictures, and throughout the entire picture not a grun is fired. It’s just a human interest comedy ripe with carefully correlated romance, drama and thrills, the type of plot in which the bespectacled comedian revels. Harold is back in the sympathetic type of characterisation which was so popular in “College Days,” “Girl Shy.’’ “Grandma’s Boy,” and others of his most successful pictures. That “The Kid Brother” will be another great success is beyond question, for those who have seen Paramount’s current release acclaim it as being in a class with Harold’s best.
