'THE SHANNONS OF BROADWAY.' .Tames and Lueil-o Webster Gleason, the highest-priced comedy team in the world,.achieve their greatest sticcess — surmounting anything they have ever don-o on the stage —in Universal alltalking ■production of Gleason's omedy hit, "The Shannons of Broadw.ay" coming to the Prince JJttward Theatre on Wednesday next. i This achievement is reached largely throught the fact that thio screen pro* duetion of the "Shannons" contains features the stage production lacked and is far wider in scope, particularly in the range of its fast-moving action. The new features are principally the addition of thnee new song hits one of which is played and &'ung by Gleason himself. The songs, are "Get Happy'« the peppy number Gieason sings; "Someone to Love Me/ the love song, 1 ,and "Living The Life of Riley," ' which tfie G-leasons use in their stage numbers. Flawless support is given the Grleasons, especially by Mary Philbin, Universal screen star, in the role of '-'Tessie/' the loveable little country girl •whose -romance is ■ more than' even the haTd-iboiled "Shannons" <*an resist, and—as was to !be expected—by three members of the original "Shannons'? company when it broke all records at the Martin Beck theatre in New York— Harry Tyler, Gladys Orolius and Helen i'Mehrmann.
