GRAND
“ROOKIES”
Another most successful laughter campaign is being carried out at the Grand Theatre this week. The whole programme is bright and varied, with not one dull moment. Anyone who thinks he has forgotten how to laugh should see “Rookies,” which has Karl Dane and George Arthur as its stars.
Karl Dane leaped to prominence when he appeared as “Slim” in “The Big Parade.” His gangling lankiness, his droll demeanour, made him an instantaneous favourite. George K. Arthur has appeared with pronounced success in numerous Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions, including “The Waning Sex,” and “Tillie the Toiler.” Now these two great comedians have been brought together as a team of laugh-makers. “Rookies” is their first co-starring appearance—a delicious blending of romance, fun and thrills. It tells of the battle of wits between an old soldier and a young recruit who are thrown together in a citizens’ training camp. Nothing funnier or more original has ever been brought to the screen.
