PICTURE THEATRES

GRAND. Boris Karloffs latest film, 'The Boogie Man Will Get You,' starring Knrloft and Peter Lor re, heads the new programme shown at the Grand yesterday. Set iu an old colonial inn, replete with sliding panels, mysterious strangers, and subterranean chambers filled with corpses, ' The Boogie Man Will Get You ' blazes a trail of hilarious hoinocide. Karloff is seen as a pleasant, kindly research worker, patiently seeking to help the nation's war effort by turning ordinary mortals into supermen. Lorre is cast as the villain of the piece. The supporting film is '(Robin Hood of the Range,' with Charles Starrett at the head of a strong east, MAYFAIR. Fannie Hurst onco wrote a story called ' Sister Act.' Warner Brothers once made a couple of films called ' l'our Daughters' and ' Four Wives.' In casting round for a story to follow up the series thev came across Miss Hurst s trifle, adapted it, and called it 'Four Mothers.' The picture was shown at the Mayfair yesterday. Once again they signed up the three Lane sisters and Gail Page, and also dear old May Robson—it must have been about her last film. The supporting picture is ' Whistling in the Dark,' a particularly amusing comedy starring Ray Skelton, Ann Rutherford, and George Bancroft.
