Show HARRY LANGDON MOVES AT TORRID TEMPO Harry Langdon is the whole show in "Hotter Than Hot," his first talkie under the Hal Roach Metro Gold-wyn Gold-wyn Mayer banner, playing at the Victory Theatre Friday and Saturday. Satur-day. The story of this hilarious two-reel-er is built around the facial and physical phy-sical expressions of the diminutive comedian. Every look, every moment mo-ment is a scream. From the moment he appears, in pursuit of an exciting fire engine, to his final slide to safety down the water wa-ter pipe of an apartment building, there is not a dull moment in the fun of the talk film. Langdon displays dis-plays all his laughmaking tricks, and has learned a bagfull of new ones since his last appearance on the screen in feature length pictures. In this story of an innocent mes-singer mes-singer boy, who becomes entangled in a hectic lovers quarrel. Harry wears the too-small hat and the dumb expression, ex-pression, which he has made famous on the stage and screen. Hal Roach has provided him with a fast-moving story, excellent players and sumptuous sump-tuous settings for his initial talk-film. |
