NATIONAL AND LYRIC
“WHITE FLANNELS” “White Flannels,” the Warner Master Picture which is now being shown at the National and Lyric Theatres, has another great mother role for Louise Dresser, who plays poor Ma Broska, the wife of a Polish miner. Ma Broska has seen young college men at the homes of the mine operators where she goes to do a day’s work. Their natty clothes, their unhardened hands, their careless, jaunty ways, even their speech so different from that she has been used to hear, fills her with determination to send her son to college, whether he will or not. Frank Broska, played by Jason .Robards, is a boy who likes his job. He loves a village girl, and has a pal, a miner, too, rough-and-ready as himself, but Ma wills that all this be changed. She learns, when almost too late, that education is not necessarily of schools, and that it takes more than what she calls “white flannels” to make a gentleman.
William Collier, junr., will play opposite Dolores Costello in her first light comedy Master picture for Warner Bros., “The College Widow.”
