“BRINGING UP FATHER” AT GRAND
With Jiggs, Maggie and the other characters of the George McManus newspaper cartoons, the picture “Bringing Up Father” has caught the satire and humour of the original stories. It is now being shown at the Grand Theatre. Marie Dressier and Polly Moran, as Maggie and Mrs. Dinty Moore, get the lion’s share of the laughter. The famous feminine comedy team indulges in a hilarious series of quarrels and other adventures, always comical, and J. Farrell MacDonald as Jiggs fills in with laughs whenever the comediennes pause for breath. The DresslerMoran combination seems an ideal form of comedy, and Jack Conway, who directed the picture at the Metro-Gold - wyn-Mayer studios, injected many deft touches that do much to enliven the film. A full supporting programme is being shown.
