-George ArHas la a delightful
old rogue who in. order to dq
as ie pleases, plays several good
jokes - -on several people. Tha
audience is a part of each joke
and alts back and watches the
victims g-et fooled. 'Arllss does
the fooling", in . such kindly,
whimsical manner that his audience-
love him for it and laughs
spontaneously; as they anticipate
what tha victims are going to
feel like when they discover how
they have been tooled.
Following ."Tha Millionaire""
at tha Elsinora will ba the so
phisticated and smart comedy ro
mance "The (Devil May Cire"
with Ronald Colman. It is hard
to Imagine Ronald Colman In
any role but a very ultra smart
and sophisticated one. Every
thing about the man, from his
mannerisms ;to his clothes
breaths sophistication and poise:
and not only that he is genuine
and 1 possessed with dramatic
power which in my estimation is
closely approaching Arllss.
Samuel Goldwyn is said to be
responsible for. tha development
of Colman. Mr. Goldwyn brought
the young Englishman to- Holly
wood and has kept an eye on
him since that time. Colman
was educated for an engineer, al
though he came from a family
of theatre people. - When the
war' came he enlisted, was
wounded, and when he recovered
he chose the 'stage to begin his
life over again, s . r i , . ;
His English accent is one of
the , beautiful ; characteristics ot
his speaking roice.
