PLAZA
“BARNUM WAS RIGHT”
The current programme at the Plaza Theatre, headed by “Frozen Justice,” Lenore Ulric’s great drama of the Yukon, will have its final screening today. Glenn Tryon fools around with pirate treasure in “Barnum Was Right,” Universal dialogue farce-comedy coming to the Plaza Theatre tomorrow, and gets himself into the most amusing complications of his distinguished career as a comedian. Tryon, whose girl has been whisked away from him by an irate father, plans, to win the girl and a fortune by baiting a summer hotel with pirate treasure. Crooks and detectives complicate his scheme, frantic treasure hunters tear his hotel to pieces and blow it up—and Tryon finally attains his ends by totally unforeseen means. Co-starred with Tryon is beautiful, titian-haired Merna Kennedy. The strong supporting cast includes Otis Harlan, in a featured role, Basil Radford, an actor well known on New Zealand stages, Clarence Burton. Lew Kelly, Isabelle Keith and Gertrude Sutton. Direction was ably handled by Del Lord.
