THE CIVIC THEATRE. “SUNNY.” Humour is the keynote of Marilyn Miller’s starring production, “Sunny,” which comes to the Civic Theatre on Saturday and Monday next as a First National and Vitaphone production. “Sunny” was Miss Miller’s famous stage success. The lines and situations fairly sparkle with wit, while through the whole story of the little circus bareback rider and dancer, who marries someone else in order to be bale to follow the man she loves from England to America, has a tender background of romance. “Sunny” is something decidedly different in screen farce. Miss Miller offers several new . novelty dances, with Joe Donahue, imported from the stage, as her partner, but there is no chorus dancing in the picture. Lawrence Gray, O. P. Heggic, Judith Vosselli, Clyde Cook, Barbara Bedford and Mackenzie Ward are among those in the cast. William A. Seitcr, one of Hollywood’s most famous directors, acted in that capacity on 1 ‘ Sunny. ’ ’
