MAURICEVILLE TALKIES

TOMORROW’S ATTRACTION. Errol Flynn, that handsome young Irish actor who leaped to fame overnight. in “Captain Blood.” a couple of years ago and then carried on with “Adventures of Robin Hood," comes tc Mauriceville on Saturday in a modern comedy drama called "The Perfect Specimen." The story’ concerns a perfect specimen of manhood who learned more from Joan in 25 minutes than he did from grandmother in 25 years. When Errol and Joan get together anything can happen any old time of the day and night—and everything does. The story deals with an eccentric old lady possessed of many millions who has an ambition to see her grandson raised as an altogether perfect young num, and who for that reason supplies him with an abundance of tutors but keeps him confined to the limits of the family’s vast estate. A young village girl —Joan Biondell —manages to break into the virtual prison and meet the young man. She succeeds in getting him outside of his bounds, and he begins to understand and love the world without. Others in the cast include May Robson, Hugh Herbert. Edward Everett Horton, Allen Jenkins, Beverly Roberts and Dick Foran, the singing cowboy. This is Errol Flynn’s first essay at out-and-out comedy, and he is excellent. Also showing is a Marell of Time feature. "The British Dilemma." depicting Hitler's ambitious plans of conquest.
