RIVOLI, HOWICK
HAROLD LLOYD IN “SPEEDY”
The thoroughly amusing Harold Lloyd comedy “Speedy” will be shown again this evening at the Rivoli Theatre, Ho wick.
“Speedy” is without a doubt Harold Lloyd’s best. It shows him in the role of a New York boy whose chief characteristic is the ability to lose his job speedily. He is reformed, however, when he falls in love with Jane, whose father owns a horse tram that is gradually being pushed off the streets. Harold Lloyd’s efforts to revive the horse trams are the cause of much of the comedy, but his visit to the Coney Island Amusement Area provides many hearty laughs. “Hangman’s House,” which will also be shown, is an exciting story of Irish life, starring Victor McLaglen.
Love or a career! Which takes precedence! That question is answered in a most dramatic way, in Fox Films’
“Mother Knows Best,” featuring Madge Bellamy, Louise Dresser and Barry Norton. “Mother Knows Best” is based on the widely read and internationally discussed story by Edn<? Ferber. said to be based on the actual lives of a famous stage star and her mother, but actually just a similarity to a score of mothers and daughters dating back to Corinne and her mother. Jennie Kimball, a matter of half a century ago.
