“ Romance for Three ” Rich in Laughter
ALL-STAR CAST IN HIGH COMEDY (Regent: Screening Saturday week.) One of the most amusing of this season’s comedy dramas is “Romance for Three.” The novel plot is carried out to perfection by the excellent performance of Frank Morgan, Robert Young, Mary Astor, Edna May Oliver, Florence Rice, Reginald Owen, Henry Hull and Herman Bing. Morgan portrays the rich capitalist who wins a contest and as a reward is sent to an Alpine resort for two weeks. To enjoy his vacation he masquerades as a poor man, making his valet, Owen, act as a man of wealth. Morgan’s daughter, Miss Rice, and his housekeeper, Miss Oliver, find out about his plan and inform the hotel to play up to his whim, but to treat him well. They mistake him for another contest winner, Young, who is actually an unemployed man. From then on things begin to happen, especially when Miss Astor, a woman of the world, sets out to trap Morgan, having also learned the truth about him.
