ENTERTAINMENTS

r ■ - EMPIRE 'THEATRE. . ■ ’ AND WEDNESDAY. '• ' “‘The higher they fly the harder they • fall.” This old adage is the basis for ■.77 the plot of “Hard to Get,” the First National comedy which comes to the Empire Theatre to-night and Wednesday night, with the popular Dorothy Mackaill starred. Miss Mackaill plays a mannequin in the story, and is very particular about her boy friends. Then an Irish lad named Charles Delaney comes along and the fun begins. “Hard to Get” was directed by that master of comedy, William Beaudine, and has an all-comedy cast including • ... Louise Fazenda, Jack Oakie, James > Finlayson and Edmund Burns. The fun is said to be fast and furious throughout, and the picture was designed for laughing purposes only. Miss Mackaill, who has been advancing rapidly as a comedienne of the screen, is starred alone for the first time in “Hard to Get.”

THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

“PARIS.”

x Paris is a city; of gaiety and light and fun —and music. And “Paris,” the ' First National picture starring Irene v Bordoni, which opens at the Empire Theatre on Thursday night for a three night season, is just like the city in all these respects—not least m that of music. The score of the production, in fact, is fairly overflowing with melody. Among the outstanding numbers are such tinkling and tuneful creations as “Miss Wonderful, My Lover, Master of My Heart,” Somebody Mighty Like You,” and I Wonder What Is Really on His Mind. These were all written by A 1 Byran and Eddie Ward, former Broadway & song-smiths who are not exercising their creative gifts under contract at the First National studios at Burbank, ; Cal. Byran wrote the iy rlc |» w ] ll ‘ e the tunes were composed by Ward.
