BRILLIANT FILM.
“DAUGHTERS COURAGEOUS.” * All the charm, all the humour, all the pathos, all the simple, human and folksy quality of last year’s memorable “Four Daughters” have been recaptured by Warner Bros, in “ Daughters Courageous.” To make the parallel still closer between the two pictures, every member of the cast of the first has a role of equal importance in The new one. The feminine contingent again includes the “four daughters,” Priscilla, Rosemai’y and Lola Lane, and Gale Page. Fay Bainter, that supremo character actress, has been added to the original cast as the girls’- mother, and a very welcome addition she is. May Robson is again cast as the crochety, lovable old family standby. The male roles are in. the capable hands of John Garfield, Jeffrey Lynn, Claude Rains, Frank McHugh, and Dick Foran, with the ever-reliable Donald Crisp as a newcomer to the many-dauglitered family. *, * * * , Probably the greatest musical the screen has ever seen, “Naughty Marietta,” starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy will have a return season in Ashburton next week.
