“PRIVATE IZZY MURPHY” A delightful programme is offered Grand Theatre patrons this week. “Private Izzy Murphy,” the leading picture, is indeed a film of universal appeal. George Jessel, star of the piece, who was in reality a mere kid at the time, is shown marching with the soldiers. Clever use of double exposure made the illusion possible. “Private Izzy Murphy” is the story of a New York delicatessen keeper who takes an Irish name for business reasons and keeps it when he goes overseas as a member of the “Old 69th,” an Irish regiment. In support of Jessel aj*e Patsjr Ruth Miller and Vera Gordon. There is an excellent supporting cast, and the picture was directed by Lloyd Bacon. Warners have had many successes, but none that have called forth more widespread commendation that this sidesplitting, tea-producing story of the adventures in love, war and some other things of the ingratiating young vate Izzy Murphy.” „
