EMPIRE TO-NIGHT CONDUCTOR 1492
In “Conductor 1492’’ Johnny lias a wonderful opportunity to display his ability. He takes the part of Terry O’Toole, a young Irishman just arrived from his native country, bent on fame and fortune. In his particular sphere of acting, Johnny Hines holds the enviable position of being without a rival. He goes into a picture with all the zest and vim of an athlete participating in an international contest. Johnny Hines represents the elcan-cut comedy, rough and ready humour that is the delight of the American hoy and gets many a laugh from his father and mother. His acting has always been full of buffoonery, skylarking and quips that sends his audiences into fits of laughter. His facial expressions, an art in themselves, express more than scores of words in titles could hope to do. With a ready smile and willing hand, Terry, harbouring such lofty ideals as becoming a traffic cop and perhaps a motorman on the street car, finds his way into Lcteda, Ohio, where he applies for a job as motorman. He is hired, dons the blue uniform and brass buttons, and proudly takes his car out for his run. His adventures are many and varied, but without exception the most laugh-provoking ever encountered. He whiles away his time llirting with ladies, fighting men and collecting fares on the car. He is assisted by such well known players as Doris May, Dorothy Burns, Ruth. Renick, Michael Dark, Robert Cain, Dan Mason, Fred Esmelton and Byron •Sage. Direction is under Charles Hines and Frank Griflien. Comedy, serial and news.
