THE REGENT.
“BEG, BORROW OR STEAL.” Genial, laughable Frank Morgan of the quivering eyebrow and uncertain mein, is lifted to top billing in “Beg, Borrow or Steal,” the hiliarious feature comedy which will open at the Regent Theatre tonight for two nights. Heading a cast of Hollywood’s best comedians, Morgan shares prominence with Florence Rice and John Beal, while in the cast are such comedians as Reginald Denny, George Givot, E. E. Glive, Herman Bing and Erik Rhodes. Others in the cast are Vladimir Sokoloff, Janet Beecher, Cora Witherspoon, Tom Rutherfurd and Harlan Briggs. “Beg, Borrow or Steal” is described as a mad comedy in the vein of “My Man Godfrey” and “Libelled Lady,” in which unabridged nonsense reigns supreme and Morgan is complete master of the humorous situation. Morgan plays a bunko-steerer in Paris’ who promotes a chateau on the Riviera to carry out a bluff made to his American family and to provide rich surroundings for his daughter’s wedding.
