GRAND
“ROOKIES” Of all bright entertainments ever presented at the Grand Theatre, the programme now being shown ranks with the best. Dull cares and worries are soon banished, for “Rookies.’ the feature picture on the programme, radiates the “cheer germ” in a remarkable way. This new picture has a citizens' training camp as its background. Under the directorial guidance of Sam Wood, famous for his direction of many of Gloria Swanson’s pictures, it is replete with laughs and thrills, the latter coming from the perilous aviation stunts. Karl Dane, the renowned “Slim” of “The Big Parade,” and George K. Arthur, famous for his humorous parts in many Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pictures, including “Pretty Ladies,” “The Boob” and “The Waning Sex,” make a capital comedy team, with Dane in the role of a hard-boiled sergeant, and Arthur playing the part of a luckley j young trainee under his command. They fall in love with the same gin, I and the complications which follow | make one of the funniest pictures ever I screened.
