ERROL FLYNN AS COMEDIAN
A brightly refreshing comedy with a perfect cast had a' ’brilliant first night at the Hollywood Theatre recently. The enthusiasm shown by the audience while watching Errol Flynn and Joan Blondell in J The Perfect Specimen ’ was evidenced as gales of continuous laughter drowned out much of the dialogue and rocked the house. Flynn’s performance in the comedy role drew much, praise, and Joan Blondell again won new honours. The battle for laughs between Hugh Herbert and Edward Everett Horton had the audiences in stitches, while May Robson scored impressively. Practically every reviewer present likened ‘ The Perfect Specimen ’ to ‘lt Happened One Night.’.
