DUCHESS THEATRE
The rich humanity and shrewd native ’humour which made Will Rogers America’s favourite comedian and one of the country’s leading film stars are again abundantly in evidence in “Steamboat Round the Bend,” which is now at the Duchess Theatre. The plc-t revolves about the love story of Anne Shirley and John McGuire, a swamp girl and a river pilot, and about the comedy feud between Rogers and Irvin S. Cobb who play a pair of rival boat captains. The battle between the captains and the dramatic story reach their climaxes in the thrilling river race which brings “Steamboat Round ‘he Bend’’ tc- a happy conclusion.
