LYRIC
“DEARIE” ON THURSDAY
The night club hostess, mysterious and interesting as the character is. has rarely been depicted on stage or screen, but Irene Rich now portrays one of that gracious company, with subtlety and beauty. Miss Rich is the star of “Dearie,” the Warner Master picture which comes to the Lyric Theatre on Thursday. “Dearie” presents a glittering panorama of modern life. Broadway playhouses, night clubs, mansions and tenements, hospitals, courts and college frat houses, make up the locale, and “Dearie” herself is the centre of a brilliant company of players, among whom are William Collier, jun., Edna Murphy, Anders R a ndolph, Richard Tucker, Douglas Gerrard, Arthur Rankin, William Demarest and David Mir. Archie Mayo directed. Miss Rich’s star part is that of a mother who, having lost her fortune, takes up singing to keep her son in college. She sings the old favourite, “Dearie.” winning the name for herself. The fact that she never let her son know that she is the cabaret singer of whom he hears so much, causes complications which sweep the story on and up to a terrific climax.
