The star of two nights and a matinee. The star and the supporting cast in an auto story by Bvron Morgan is enough to draw anyone. Many genuine comedy touches are introduced when the star is a salesman, (later on the road his adventures are decidedly humorous. The auto race is one of the best that you have seen on. the screen. Jt is not a hanked track, but an old-fashioned road race, where the turns ar e flat and the skids are many and mighty dangerous. In the words of an old racing driver, “It was a miracle that no one was killed making ‘The Lucky Devil ’ ” As> a matter of fact, in one scene of the race, taken at a turn, one of the cars in trying to negotiate the turn skidded and completely turned over, miraculously landing upright. There is' a splendid supporting programme.
