“THREE’S A CROWD!”

HARRY LANGDON’S NEXT That whimsical little comediia, Harry- Langdon. is starred in the First National comedy-drama, “Three’s a Crowd,” to be seen in Aucklsad shortly. Though by no means e slapstick comedy, laughs come thick and fast, the amusingly ingenious adventures of Harry' as “The Odd Fellow" being calculated to evoke much merriment. With his pathetic expression and saucer eyes he meanders his way througha the at times hilarious scenes, through which, however, runs the thread of a very moving and human drama. The sympathy of the spectator remains with “The Odd Fellow,” in spite of his odd little personality, and one seems to laugh with, rather than at, him. The story concerns his love for a girl who has married The Man, and who therefore appears lost to him. How they are brought together, only to be parted by Fate again, is the main theme of a very interesting story, which provides the sad-eyed Langdon a chance to prove just how versatile he is. Winsome Gladys McConnell play-s opposite him, and is very convincing as the girl. In these days of super-society dramas, this refreshingly simple but remarkably entertaining tale should be a welcome variation.
