VICTORIA, DEVONPORT

Harold Lloyd has made such a phenomenal success with his comedies because they have always been amusing stories that the children as well as the grown-up folks can understand and enjoy. Now he has produced his first all-talking comedy, "Welcome Danger.” which is being shown at the Victoria Theatre, Devonport. Casting all the traditions of the talking screen aside. Lloyd has brought to tlie screen a real feature-length laugh comedy with just as much action packed in it as he ever put in his silent comedies—and that was plenty. Harold Lloyd is the meek young botanist, whose chief ambition in life is to perfect a new flower. Fate Intervenes, and lie is whisked off to San Francisco to take the place his father had occupied in the community years before —that of the demon police, officer whose very name was law Here he has to match wits with the underground Chinatown, and in a series of hairbreadth escapes he produces some of the most laughable episodes ever brought to the screen. Stanlev Smith and Betty Garde have been added to ttT6 cast of "Queen High,” Paramount’s new musical comedy, now in production. Smith recently appeared in “Honey" and Miss Garde in". The Lady Lies.
