RIALTO AND REGENT EPSOM

“WE’RE IN THE NAVY NOW” Eclipsing their superb performances in “Behind the Front,” Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton march to smashing victory in their latest Paramount co-starring comedy “We’re in the Navy Now,” which comes to the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) to-night. “We’re in the Navy Now” is the most truthful excrutiatingly funny tale of war yet portrayed on any screen, and the enjoyment evidenced by opening night moviegoers ' establishes new laugh records. Nary a naval comedy situation has been left out of this picture. Big battle scenes showing all manner of ships, hydroplanes and submarines lend a spectacular force. Portrayed by an unusual cast, the laughable side of the navy has been played to the limit und£r Edward Sutherland’s direction. The story deals with the adventures of a pugilist, Beery, and his manager, Hatton. Literally knocked out of the prize ring, they land in a whirlpool provided by the world war. And, never was there, such a pair of green gobs! Chester Conklin scores a personal triumph as the transport captain, while Tom Kennedj*, the chief petty officer, adds to the fun. A love theme involving beautiful Lorraine Eason and Donald Keith runs right through the hectic experiences encountered by Beery and Hatton.
