At Southbridge

GREAT PROGRAMME FOR

SATURDAY

Hilarious, adventures of a gang iof East Side alley kids as invited guests at a fashionable Long Island estate will be revealed when the gay farce, Little Tough Guys "In Society" will be screened at Southbridge Talkies on Saturday, with Misclia Auer, Mary Boland, Edward Everett Horton and Helen Parrish.

Not only does the rollicking film present three of the screen's foremost comedy stars in a smartly tailored story, but it introduces the famous group of kid actors, The Little Tough Guys, into the dazzling realm vof jewels and ermine.

The story tells what 'happens when a dizzy socialite mother, Mary Boland, "adopts" a lot of alley kids as companions to help her indolent son, Jackie Searl, discover the joyous possibilities of youth. Mischa Auer appears as an eccentric psychiatrist and Edward Everett Horton depicts the watchful English butler who is horrified by the antics and behaviour of "the little gentlemen from the settlement house." Helen Parrish, who scored in "Little Tough Guy,"-is seen this time as Searl's sweetheart.

Efforts of the alley kids, led by Frankie Thomas, to get Searl to abandon his idea of spending his life in bed sets the tempo for a riot of fast comedy sequences in the

picture,

In addition, a topical film of great interest will be screened. It depicts the fall of Sidi Barrani, the first of those brilliant exploits which mark the triumphal advance of the British Ar-my of the Nile in Libya and in which the Australians played such a splendid part.
