“THREE’S A CROWD”
A HARRY LANGDON COMEDY Harry Langdon, with his pathetic air of saucer-eyed appeal, has a really distinctive comic role in “Three’s a Crowd,” his latest comedy vehicle for First National. There is no question of it —Langdon’s personality is an unusual one, very far divorced from the low-brow slapstick comedians of the days of numerous custard pies and false moustaches. Nevertheless, “Three’s a Crowd” proves that Harry can be as really funny and mirthprovoking as the most blatant of the old brigade, although he has had the courage to heroically abandon all the familiar stock situations and old-time gags. The story, which in its strength and ingenuity marks a new departure in comedy, revolves round the sad-eyed futile little star as a tenement boy working for a wagon owner. His adventures are many and varied, during which he falls in love, and runs a divers course through, at times, really hilarious sequences. For a good comedy, with some pretensions to story and plot, “Three’s a Crowd” can be recommended. *
