MARTON CIVIC THEATRE
“THE GREAT GARRICK” Using for its hero the immortal British actor David Garrick, a gay comedy of that star and his times is showing to-night at the Civic Theatre, with Brian Aherne in the role of Garrick and Olivia de Havilland as Germaine, the girl with whom he falls in love. “The Great Garrick” is the title of the picture, which was produced for Warner Bros, distribution by James Whale, under the banner and personal supervision of Mervyn Leßoy. Supporting Mr.-Aherne and Miss de Havilland are such notaoie players as Edward Everett Horton, Melville Cooper, Lionel Atwill, Henry O’Neill, Luis Alberni, Lana Turner, Marie Wilson, Fritz Leiber, Linda Perry and Etienne Giradot. “The Great Garrick,” which is neither historical nor biographical, but just sheer fun, was written for the screen by the distinguished author Ernst Vajda.
