OPERA HOUSE
Carole Landis, who made her bow under the Hal Roach banner as a prehistoric debutante, is co-starred with handsome John Hubbard in Roach’s new streamlined comedy “Turnabout,” film from the Thorne Smith screening to-morrow at the Opera House, through United Artists release. Miss Landis and Hubbard are supported by an impressive cast of players which includes Adolphe Menjou, William Gargan, Verree Teasdale, Mary Astor, Donald Meek and Margaret Roach. “Turnabout” was directed by Hal Roach personally and its hilarious plot concerns the high jinks produced when Miss Landis as Mrs Willows and Hubbard as her husband exchange sexes. The svelte, shapely Miss Landis steps into her husband’s oversize shoes and experiments with the problems faced by the male portion of humanity. Six-foot, broad-shouldered Hubbard becomes a fashionable society matron and flutters about at cocktail parties while his wife wears the pants—literally. How the story winds up provides the picture with a surprise-filled climax.
