WILL ROGERS COMING
FAMOUS COMEDIAN FOR GRAND Set against the background of th* Mississippi River in the latter half of last century, ‘ Steamboat Round th« Bend,’ which, with ‘ Hardrock Handgun,’ will open at the Grand on Wednesday, presents the late Will Rogerg in one of the most sincere characterisations of his career. With Irvin S. Cobh as his rival, he' is seen as the captain of a river steamer,, who,-when hia nephew commits a murder to save the girl he loves, hands him over to the police. How the boy is saved by the joint efforts of Rogers and the girl forms the basis of a thoroughly entertaining picture. John Ford, directed the production, which was adapted from a story by B. L, Burman. Featuring George O’Brien, ‘ Hardrock Harrigan ’ is a fast-moving and colourful drama in which excitement is not allowed to flag.
