PRINCE EDWARD

BUSTER KEATON IN “COLLEGE” Buster Keaton as an unwitting, and therefore witty, college hero is the feature film fare at the Prince Edward theatre to-night, when his newest United Artists picture “College” will be the offering. Produced by Joseph M. Schenck, “College” was directed by James W. Horne from the story by Carl Harbaugh and Bryan Foy. Ann Cornwall is Keaton’s leading lady. Ottter professional actors and actresses in the cast are Snitz Edwards, Grant Withers, Harold Goodwin, Buddy Mason, Flora Bramley, Paul Goldsmith and Florence Turner, “The Vitagraph Girl” of two decades ago. “College” offers Buster Keaton in an entirely new setting and presents his ftozen-faced antics against a quickly shifting background of baseball games, track meets, regattas and fraternity celebrations. He is The Boy, bright enough alumnus of a little high school, but not so big a fish in the larger collegiate pond, especially as the little lady of his heart insists that he demonstrate his athletic prowess. The finale of the picture occurs at the annual boat race, Buster hoping to be coxswain of his college crew.

“London After Midnight” is to be the title of Lon Chaney’s latest MetroGold wyn-Mayer starring picture, a mystery story of England in which he plays the role of a Scotland Yard, detective. Marceline Day, Conrad Nagel, Henry B. Walthall, Claude King and other favourites are included in the cast.
