STRAND
“WELCOME DANGER” In the initial all-talking production of Harold Lloyd, now at the Strand Theatre, he is seen as well as heard in the role of a Boston-raised youth who has a fondness for botany, but who is plunged into the mauling swirl of San Francisco’s underground Chinatown after friends of his deceased police chief father draft him to clean up the Tongs. Their confidence that Harold is a chip off: the old block (his father had been the iron fisted foe of vice in San Francisco) is badly .shaken many times, but Harold finally emerges a hero after a series of thrilling spills, spooky shivers, sensational chases and galloping gags. The picture is laugh-packed in the best. Lloyd manner and there is a pretty thread of romance. It is 100 per cent, talking. One of the 1 big points about “Welcome Danger ’ is that its entertainment is designed for young as well as old. Most of the stories produced in talkies thus far have been more or less sophisticated, while others were not primarily designed for the entertainment of those in their teens. “Welcome Danger” has the same universal appeal of all Lloyd pictures depicting an entertaining story and yet one that is understandable by virtually all who attend picture shows. A full programme of talking and singing featurettes is also being presented.
