PARAMOUNT THEATRE
“The Great Garrick” A bright, unusual comedy, redolent of the glamour and romance of the mideighteenth century, is “The Great Garrick,” now twreening at the Paramount Theatre.' The performance of Brian Alterne as David Garrick, whose acting earned for the Drury Dane Theatre a permanent place on the role of dramatic fame, is excellent. His affectation of the strained artificiality of the “grand manner” adopter! by the gentlemen of the period was very .well done indeed, especially when it is made clear that uhder it all the great man is constantly afraid of the laughter of the crowd. As the beautiful young-French society girl who meets him under the strangest of circumstances, and who deceived him, as the most famous members of the Comedie ■ Franeaise are unable to do, Olivia de llavilland achieves her greatest success to date. A startling new light is thrown upon’ industrial warfare by Columbia's “Highway Patrol," which will be. the supporting feature, with Robert Paige, Jacqueline Wells, Robert Middlemass, and Arthur Loft in the leading roles.
