RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“CASEY AT THE BAT” “Casey at the Bat,” Wallace Beery’s current Paramount starring vehicle, now being shown at the Rialto and Regent Theatres, was suggested by Ernest Thayer’s famous poem, always remembered as De Wolf Hopper’s fav- ! ourite. Hector* Turnbull, formerly an asso- I ciate Paramount producer, wrote the ! story; Monte Brice and Reginald Morris the adaptation. Brice also directed. Jules Furthman, responsible for “You’d Be Surprised,” prepared the screen play. Beery plays Casey, Centerville’s leading rag-man. Sterling Holloway, newly recruited from the Xew York revue world, the crooked village barber; Ford Sterling, a baseball scout; and Zasu Pitts, the village milliner. The tale is simple. Both junk-man and barber love the same sappy girl. Sterling discovers Beery to be another Babe Ruth and the small towner becomes one of Xew York’s most famous figures. But, popularity proves his undoing and —! “Lost at the Front,” starring Charlie Murray and George Sydney, is also being shown at the Regent Theatre.
