“•PRIVATE IZZY MURPHY” “Private Izzv Murphy,” the "Warner picture, now at the Grand Theatre, stars George Jessel, the famous “Jazz Singer” Mho- won such enviable acclaim in New Y'ork last year. Featured with Jessel are Patsy Ruth Miller and Vera Gordon. An excellent company is in support, and the filming was directed by Lloyd Bacon, son of Frank Bacon, star and author of “Lighinin’.” "Private Tzzy Murphy” is the story of Izzv Goldberg, a young delicatessen Xew Y'ork, and o£ dealings with the Irish. For business reasons he decides to change his name to “Murphy,” and goes overseas with an Irish regiment under that name. The story does not burlesque racial traits, but is a play with that “touch of nature” which “makes the whole world kin.” Patsy Ruth Miller is "Eileen Cohanniglxan,” the pretty Irish sweetheart, and the supporting company makes the play a riot of mirth, a rough-and-tumble of all things American. It is human and tender and fine, the sort of play which makes us 3vant to live and let live, „ —„
