"MY MAN GODFREY."
William Powell's Latest.
"My Man Godfrey" is a gay debonair modem comedy, light as thistledown, madder and merrier than a million March hares mastering the multiplication table. This Universal laugh riot, starring William Powell and Carole Lombard, opens at the St. James Theatre'on Friday. The screen story relates the adventures of William Powell, portraying a butler in the delightfully dizzy Bullock family. One daughter, played by Carole Lombard, falls in love with him. Her sister tries to have him imprisoned. The maid falls in love with him, too. The mother likes him, but she has a parlour pet of her own. The fun gets faster and more furious every second, with laughs bursting like bombshells. The cast includes such excellent players as Alice Brady, Gail Patrick, Jean Dixon, Eugene Pallette, Alan Mowbray, Mischa Aver, and Robert Light. The picture.was made by Gregory La Cava, one of Hollywood's foremost directors. "My Man Godfrey" is taken from the novel of the same name, written by the master of modern comedy, Eric Hatch. The screen play is the work of this brilliant humorist and of Morrie Ryskind, noted author of such screen hits as "A Night at the Opera." .
