An Hilarious Screen Comedy Is Current
GUY KIBBEE HEADS CAST OF ‘‘BIG HEARTED HERBERT”
(Kosy: Screening To-day.)
"Big Hearted Herbert” - is a Warner Bros, comedy romance. There is an all star cast headed by the inimitable comedy team, Aline MacMahon and Guk Rib bee, whom audiences will remember for tneir hilarious work in ‘ ‘ Gold Diggers ot 1933.”
The picture, based on an uproariously funny story by the famous author, Sophie Kerr, while largely comedy, is spiced with a dolightful romance with the charming Patricia Ellis and Phillip Reed in the roles of the lovers. Their affair runs the gauntlet of exceedingly rough paths, however, in the shape ot paternal wrath on the part of a crabbed and crotchety parent. Aline MacMahon, as the mother, takes a hand in smoothing the way for the lovers by taming her nagging and ill-natured husband by giving him a dose of his own medicine, which provides some highly amusing and novel situations.
Guy Kibbce, in the title role, provokes the family discord by his stubborn insistence that his children bo brought up in poverty and ignorance just as he himself had been, although lie has attained to affluence.
Others in important roles include Helen Lowell as a comical once-a-week Marjorie Gateson, Nolla Warner, TTint Durkin, Jay Ward and Halo Hamilton.
