EVERYBODYS PICTURES. KARL DANE AND GEORGE K. I ARTHUR—FRIDAY. If. all the prisons were run like the one Karl Dane and George K. Arthur are seen in in “ Brotherly Love,” coining on Friday to the Brincess Theatre, as a new Metro-Go Id wyn-Mayer'feature comedy, all the crooks would he behind the/bars. The cells are luxuriously appointed with private baths, electric refrigerators and radio installations, not to overlook page and maid service. In the fun-maker M-G-M has given the famous comedy team as a new vehicle. Dane starts out as a prison guard who tries to make life uncomfortable for Arthur, who gets in gaol so he can better woo the goal governor’s pretty daughter. Complications land Dane in the "toils of the law and he, too, becomes a convict. A football contest against the rival gaol supplies the big scream climax. Charles F. (“ Chuck”) Reisner directed the satire on “mod,el” prison life, and repeats the triumphs of “ Steamboat Bill,” in which Buster Keaton. recently starred. Jean Arthur (no relation to George) is the daughter. Edward Connelly, Marcia Harriss, and Richard Carlyle are in the cast. .The supporting pictures are serial, “Collegians,” and comedy.
