BRITANNIA
“LONG PANTS" Harry Langdon, First National’s comedy potentate, is sporting a Royal Rolls Royce on the Burbank these days. The reason, real and reel, is his newest comedy, “Long Pants,” and due at the Britannia Theatre to-night. The magnificent road ornament was used by the comical Harry in those scenes where he is shown returning home from his first big evening party. 1 wearing his first pair of man's-sized trousers. The way that Harry “puts on the dog” in this sequence will, it is believed, be as big a sensation as his sneezing sequence in “The Strong Man.” More than three months were spent in production, making “Long Pants” by far Langdon’s greatest effort in point of expenditure of time, money and effort. Los Angeles and Hollywood newspaper and magazine critics who have been privileged to see the assembled films are unanimous in predicting that it will be Langdon’s greatest in point of entertainment. Although rich in boy and girl romance, with ' moments of heavier fervour, the story is based on a mother love theme. Gladys Brockwell plays Harry’s mother and Albert Roscoe his father. The place is San Francisco: the time is before and after the famous fire.
