LYRIC
“IRISH HEARTS” The charm of May McAvoy’s personality suffuses “Irish Hearts” with a glowing loveliness. It is the second Warner Brothers’ production to be made under her new long-term contract, and her starring role is distinctly a “personality part” and fits the diminutive star like a glove. The vivacious, fun-loving Patsy from Erin offers a character that brings out all of Miss McAvoy’s radiant self. The magnetic force of her individuality has never been so strongly felt as in “Irish Hearts,” which was shown last night at the Lyric Theatre. “Pyjamas,* ’a Fox Films production starring Olive Borden, was also shown last night, and was acclaimed by firstnight critics as one of the most sprightly comedy-dramas which this house has shown in the past few months. It is one of Corinne Griffith’s ambitions to be directed by her namesake, B. W. Griffith; and the two had never worked on the same lot before until Miss Griffith started “The Garden of Eden” at the United Artists’ Studio. Shortly after she began the picture, “D.W.” commenced shooting “The Drums of Love,” and a friendship between the two sprang up rapidly. “The Garden of Eden” is shortly to be released in New Zealand.
