TOWN HALL TALKIES

“EVERYBODYB OLD MAN * TO MORROW. \ r i I Unless a Beverly Hills real estate company succeeds in getting a ghost exterminator, Rochelle Hudson, youth* ful 20th Century-Fox star, is going to move into her studio . room. Haunts have Miss Hudsons ♦ scared so that she is afraid to go home at night. Miss Hudson, who is featured in "Everybody’s Old Man," the Fox Picture starring Irvin S. Cobb at the Town Hall on Wednesday, recently moved into a nine-room French Colonial home in Beverly Hills, with her mother.

Now she complains that she has not enjoyed one night’s sleep since she moved in. The night is constantly disturbed by meanings and bumpings. Ghosts may not be real, says Miss Hudson, but their waking her up in the middle of the night is real. She wants the people who sold her the house to eliminate them.

"In "Everybody’s Old Man," Miss Hudson is coupled with Norman Foster in the romantic leads of a mellow and happy story about a king of industry who tarns "papa" to a set of wild and reckless youngsters, and who actually reforms them after many adventures and much hilarity. Johnny Downs, Sara Haden, Alan Dinehart and Warren Hymer are prominent in the supporting cast of the picture, directed by James Flood. THE FLEET." SATURDAY, JANUARY 15. “Follow the Fleet," the latest Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical, to be shown at the Town Hall on Saturday next, is a field day for Cupid with the co-starring rhythm masters and their three chief supporting players demonstrating just about every known kind of wooing. The kind of courting that invariably goes wrong and lands the suitor in liioti water accounts for much of the came’y of As'aire’s ro'e. Ginger romances oh the theory that the best way to win a man is to keep him guessing. Harriet Hilliard tastes momentary heartbreak trying to win a philan* dering sailor with the serious wooing born of true love. Astrid AUWyn cuts in on her romance as a calculating play girl who knows aE the tricks of feminine strategy. And Randolph Scott, the object of their rivalry, does his love making on th*> "girl in every port" basis. “O’MALLY OF THE MOUNTED.” MONDAY, JANURRY 17. Because he was once light-heavy, weight champion of the Pacific fleet, George O’Brien usually encounteirs no difficulty in “biffing" and “boffiing" his way to victory over the many villains he encounters in his stirring adventure pictures for 20th Century* Fox. 1 i In the_ latest of these outdoor dramas, "O’Malley of the Mounted," which comes to the Town Hall on Monday next, it is burly Stanley Fields who tests the fistic prowess of O’Brien. Fields is also a former pugilist whose knock-out record is as fearsome as his huge shoulders and fam* ous snarl. And so. although the script called for O'Brien to win, Melds was determined to make him earn hia victory. The conseauence is that CKBrien emerged from the battle ready to admit that it was the most difficult he had fought, either in or out of pictures. "Two-Gun” Bill Hart, star of the silent screen, wrote the stirring Rtory for “O’Malley of the Mounted." in which O’Brien rides and fights hi® way to victory over a dangerous gang of border bandits.
