"MOVIE CRAZY"
COMING TO REGENT.
Harold Lloyd's new picture, "Movie Crazy," which comes to the Regent Theatre to-morrow, is stated to contain more laughs than any picture he has yet acted in. Eight minutes of laugh-producing in-, cidents have been rolled into one "faction" of "Movie Crazy," according to reports of the picture at different previews. Previous to the magician's coat sequence in "Movie Crazy," which sets the new laughmaking figures, Lloyd rated his greater series of continuous laughter, the football scenes and the" basted suit episodes in "College Days." In "Movie Crazy," one gag rolls into another, and to the satistied amazement of Lloyd, neither dialogue nor music is heard in the entire ballroom situation, which' runs virtually the length of an entire reel. There are three, among the numerous laugh factions in "Movie Crazy" which stand out in relief, and it is going to be difficult to find any two persons who will agree as to which" is the funniest. Constance Cuinmings heads a supporting cast that is of exceptional excellence. Her role is an exacting one, and she lives up to its every requirement. The second male lead is in the competent hands of Kenneth Thompson, and Louise Closser Hale shares honours with the stellar comedian in the most hilarious of the many hilarious sequences. Lloyd has had a notable career. Whenhis father was injured in a motor-car collision, the family decided to use the insurance money to give Harold a start in a theatrical career. They all moved to: San Diego, California, and Harold, while attending high school, joined a stock company and.performed the duties of an assistant histrionics instructor in a small dramatic school. When the family moved to Hollywood, he got small jobs in films in the various studios. His first big job was with Hal Roach comedymaking company. Next came "Willie Work" and "Lonesome Lake" comedies, in which he was starfcid, . Later, he changed his make-up into" the well-known spectacles trade-mark which he has used ever since, and began the climb to fame, via fulllength comedies which he produced himself. ■"■- ..;'■"'
