Footloose and irresponsible, he
sooa becomes restless under the

Wallace Beery
Is at Elsinore
"Port of Seven Seas" Has
Notable Cast; Lure
of Sea Theme
Trite Is the phrase "nothing
new under the sun," bat Holly
wood sent the theatregoers some
thing new when .they produced
"Port of Seven Seas, now play
ing at the Elsinore theatre.
Starring Wallace Beery and
with a splendid cast including
Frank Morgan, Maureen O'Sulli
van, John Beal and Jessie Ralph,
the picture presents an entirely
novel theme.
. At the gruff, but understand
ing father and owner of a water
front tavern. Beery is outstanding
as usual, and hi dramatic work
with Frank Morgan is equally as
enjoyable as their comedy.
Romance is supplied , by Miss
O'Sullivan, who rushed back
from London where she appear
ed in "A Yank at Oxford" with
Robert Taylor, to do this pic
ture; John Beal, who was last
seen in "Double Wedding," and
Frank Morgan. No that's not a
mistake. Morgan does something
entirely new in screen characteri
zations and turns romantic and
dramatic with outstanding re
sults. The story concerns "a boy who
is torn from the arms of his
sweetheart by the lure of the sea.
He promises to return and marry
her In three years. In leaving
he also breaks his father's heart.
In the meantime, another suitor,
twice the girl s age, asks for her
hand. At first she refuses, then
agrees to marry him when she
sees the happiness it will bring.
She's still in love with the boy,
but feels they'll never be happy
if his love for adventure is great
er than his devotion for her.
He returns to find the girl
married. He damanda that she
leave her husband and go with
him. His father makes him see
that it would be impossible to
break the old man's happiness,
so the boy returns to his first
love, the sea.

such a team in real life within
the next year cornea to the
screen of the Capitol theatre to
day in "Men Are Such Fools,
the second of the plcures in
which the Warner Bros, studio
cast them opposite each other.
The unmistakable popular ap
proval which greeted the young
couple's first appearance as a
screen team in "Love, Honor and
Behave." made it inevitable that
the studio should give the public
some more of what it so evi
dently likes.
"Men Are Such Fools" Is an
other tale of the efforts made by
a young couple, genuinely in
love, to solve a problem of hu
man relationships which tor a
time seriously threatens to make
it impossible for them to achieve
a happy wedded life.
Although the picture is packed
with lively and amusing inci
dents, it has a serious underlying
theme of wide general applies
tion, for . the problem which
threatens to part the young con
pie who are its chief characters
is that thoroughly modern one
of whether wife should con
tinue to work outside the home
after marriage.
To support the young featured
team, the studio supplied a cast
of unusually capable players, dis
tinguished by such names as
Humphrey Bogart, Hugh Herbert,
Johnnie Davis, Penny Singleton,
Mona Barrle, Marcia Ralston,
Donald Briggs. and Gene and
Kathleen Lockhart.
