SUPPORTING ROLES
With a sparkling cast headed by
Irene Dunne and Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr., "Joy of Living." which opens a
three-day run today at the Craterlan
theatre, presents a brand-new theme
(or comedy with music.
A light-hearted treatment of the
pursuit of happiness Is the theme of
the picture. A musical comedy star
who. thsnks to the demands of her
selfish family, Is constantly In debt,
and fortrlght sort of playboy are
the principals.
Certain that her family loves her
In spite of their expensive habits,
the star indignantly quarrels with
the young man when he urges her
to let the relatives shut for them
selves, and learn how to have a good
time before It's too late. -On
this basis the story moves along
a unique path marked by arguments
and reconciliations and romance, as
the confident young man endeavors
to convince the girl that his reeson.
tag la sound. Bis rescue of her from
a mob of autograph-hunters, a police
court episode when the star has him
arrested for annoying her, a hectic
marriage, and the young man's ef
forts to persuade her to go to the
South Seas with him on his tramp
schooner yacht, are part of the many
lively features In the picture. But,
Judging from all reviews where the
picture hss shown, the two most
outstanding parts of 'the picture
and most likely to bring out the most
laughs are the Tyrolean beer garden
sequence and skating scene where
Inhibitions are cast to the four
winds and the star reBlly "lets her
hair down and has a good time."
The supporting cast boasts of such
players as Alice Brady, Guy Klbbee,
Lucille Ball, Eric Blore, Jean Dixon,
Warren Hymer and Franklin Pang
born. Jerome Kern has tour new tunes
Introduced in the picture, all sung
by Miss Dunne.
