New York Stage Dramas Latest in Moviedom Footlight News Movies Vaudeville New Shows Along the Rialto New Programs Nearby Bills NEW BRUNSWICK, M. SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1930. STAR HUMORISTS IN "OH, YEAH?" AT THE RIVOLI THEATRE "SUNNY SIDE UP" WITH JANET GAYN0R AT STATE THEATRE Kay Johnson Is a Success-Just As Her Mother Had Dreamed COMING EVENTS IN THE THEATRES BREEZING ALONG THE LOCAL RIALTO Willi "Zim" (By State Press Representative) The sons season is here, for "Sunny Side Up" arrived Saturday at Keith's State Theatre for one. week's run. Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrcll are the two youthful stars of the production.

It's their first one hundred per cent. 1 If L7 HAROLD LLOYD-HE TALKS "Christmas comes but once 1 a year" and so does Harold Lloyd, villi almost as much attendant excitement and interest on the part of young and old as the Yule season brings. This time Harold appears in his first all-talking picture, "Welcome Danger," at the Opera House, for one week, beginning tomorrow. There will be four shows, at 1:15, 3:00. 7:00 and 9:00 p.

m. Because of the length of the film, there will be no vaudeville show. "Welcome Danger" is plentifully supplied with chilling thrills. And Lloyd was never better in providing uproarious comedy. Harold produces the unique in his plot and situations in "Welcome Danger," the tame as he has accomplished in his other screen hits.

In the opening of the story we see Harold as a young man, a resident of Boston, who goes to San Francisco, where his late father once reigned as chief of police, in an iron-fisted manner. But Harold apparently possesses none of the qualities of his dad when it comes to police work until he gets a lucky break and becomes known as a hard-boiled wielder of the law. Plunged into a series of amazing battles in the underworld, Harold furnishes thrill after thrill and laugh after laugh. Lloyd's voice is happily a fine one for the talking screen. It comes as a distinct addition to his former achievements in the realm of silent drama.

When Harold goes into a dank and mysterious underground oriental clrn to rescue a kindly Chinese doctor who had cured the little brother talkie. Until now movie fans have been given only a sample of their voices. In "Sunny Side Up," they talk and sing. Buddy Pe Sylva, Lew Brown and Hay Henderson wrote seven song hits for their musical romance, including the duet. "If I Had a Talking Picture of You." The composers have the reputation of songs while you wait.

Their stage musicals include "Manhattan Mary," "Good News," "Three Cheers." "Hold Everything," "Follow Thru" and four George White's "Scandals." It is no wonder that half the country was on tiptoe with expectation when "Sunny Side Up" was released, and that New Yorkers paid $2 top for weeks to see and hear it. The film is being shown at the State at popular prices. Molly Carr (Janet Gaynor) is a salesgirl in Macy's. With her girl friends and boy friends of York-ville on the upper East Side, New York, she is making merry at, block party on the Fourth of July when the aristocratic young man of Southampton (Charles Farrell) into her life. His fiancee has so outraged him by her conduct.

3 SSa (By Rivoli Tress Representative) Robert Armstrong and James Gleason, who made millions laugh in the stage production. "Is Zat So!" are teamed in "Oh Yeah!" the Pathe all dialogue film that will be featured at the Rivoli from Monday through Wednesday. The pair are past masters of the art of slang. They've probably done more than any other two men to make the world safe for Americanism in speech. Their vehicle is based upon the Saturday Evening Post story by A.

W. Somerville, "No Brakes." Armstrong and Gleason play a couple of roustabout railroaders who pride themselves upon their immunity to the wiles of women. Then a couple of skirts step into their lives and the fun begins. The buddies, accused falsely of robbery, are forced to leave two perfectly good gals flat. They take a rattler and the cars start on a runaway jaunt down a mountainside, ending up in a terrific crash against a stonequarry, which wrecks them physicaly -but patches up their love affairs.

The feminine roles in "Oh, Yeah!" are portrayed by Patricia Caron, stage, and Zasu Pitts, whose droll humor has added to the entertainment values of some of the greatest motion picture successes in film history. Others in the cast are Frank Hagney, Bud Fine, Paul Hurst and Harry Tyler. The picture was directed by Tay Gar-nett. Robert Armstrong and Patricia Caron sing "Love Found Me When I Found You." in "Oh, Yeah!" Armstrong and Miss Carson are graduates of the New York stage and have been featured in musical comedy and vaudeville. Tay Garnett directed "Oh.

Yeah!" as well as adapted the story for the screen from the Saturday Evening Post tale. Gleason, who is as well known as an author as he is nn actor supplied the picture with the sort of dialogue that made him famous. It is the first time Armstrong and Gleason have appeared together on the screen and the picture is said to be a worthy successor to their comedy stage sensation, "Is Zat So!" "SUNNYSIDE UP" AT STATE Janet Gaynor and Charles Tarrell scored a new sensation the State Theatre last night in their latest talking and singing picture, "Sunnyside Up," which reveals them in a role of musical comedy stars. The picture ranks as the best in which the famous film sweethearts have appeared. The dainty, wistful little Janet proves her versatility by playing a comedy role, broad in spots, and again on the border land of pathos.

She sings, she dances, she talks and she does it all with that touch of genius that has raised her from the rear ranks of extra girls to the front rank of the greatest stars in the entertainment world. Charles Farrell, too, is called upon to enact an entirely different sort of role than he has ever assayed before. He also bursts forth in 5011 Sylva, Brown and Henderson, long known for their musical comedy hits on Broadway, have contrived a story that holds interest from the opening scene until the final fade-out. The comedy is smart and of the sort that frequently set the audience off in bursts of laughter. El Brendel gets his first chance at the musical comedy screen.

He will be remembered for his work, in "The Cock-Eyed World" and other film hits. The story of "Sunnyside Up" concerns the meeting of Molly Carr and Jack Cromwell, following an automobile accident. Cromwell has fled from his fiancee after a July Fourth party, during which the girl flirted outrageously. Molly advises Jack to make his fiancee jealous by flirting with someone else, and he picks on Molly. CHARLEY LITZ A BUSY MAN Charley Litz, the demon billposter, doorman, fireman and janitor at the Opera House, had a busy time last week, hundreds of posters of all descriptions being set up in different parts of the county to announce the coming of Harold Lloyd in "Welcome Danger." Charley is becoming almost as well known as Jack O'Brien, who does the billposting for the State and Rivoli Theatres.

During his busy week, Charley had the assistance of Jackie Colligan, who serves as the location man and chauffeur. Judging by the number of billboards on which mention of the Opera House show is made, the team of Litz and Colligan certainly covered a lot of ground. Charley enjoys his work excepting when he has to put up "Three-Sheet" posters on the big boards. Wielding the brush with the long handle is not relished by Litz, especially when a strong wind is blowing. Perhaps a few lessons "from Jack O'Brien would help.

TECHNICOLOR FILM INTERESTING An idea of what theatregoers may expect in the future was gained with the showing of "The Viking" at the Opera House during the last three days of the past week. "The Viking," which was a story of the adventures of Leif Ericsson in the days of the famous was an all-technicolor film. Film executives have predicted that within a year there will be no more black and white moving pictures, with everything being shown in natural colors. In "The Viking," the producers had an opportunity to show the advantages of technicolor in moving pictures. Costumes of the Vikings were brought out in an amazing manner through the use of modern devices.

KAY JOHNSON' Barbara Kent is the leading lady in "Welcome Danger," while Noah Young, Charles Middleton and William Walling lend their support to making the screen offering a one hundred per cent hit. "OH, yeah: at RIVOLI Unbelt Armstrong and James Gleason have the leading roles in "Oh, Yeah at the Rivoli Theatre for the first three days of the week. For laughs, pathos, drama and thrills, "Oh, Yeah!" comes close to being perfect entertainment. "Oh, Yeah is the story of two railroad brakemen who think they ne hard boiled until they run smack into a couple of women who hnock them dizzy.

The fun continues uninterrupted until Dude, one of the pals, is accused of attacking and robbing a fellow brakeman. Patricia Carrol, a beautiful brunette, has the Chief feminine romantic role. For the last three days of the "week, the Rivoli Theatre management will offer "Glorifying the American Girl." a Ziegfeld production. All of the beauty of one of Ziegfeld's stage productions is contained in the picture, "Glorifying the American Girl." HAROLD LLOYD AN ARTIST The art of retaining speed through conversation is working a hard ship on the film stars who depend on comedy to put over their talking moving pictures. Harold Lloyd, who appears at the Opera House in his first talking moving picture, is said to be one of the few screen comedians who is adept at carrying on the usual speed of his pictures, despite dialogue.

Instead of continuous talk in comedy films, there should be speedy silent episodes to maintain the average. Harold Lloyd knows this, but Lloyd is fortunate in being in a position to put over his ideas. He is his own boss and can insist upon getting what he needs because he is he meets Janet, decides suddenly to import her to Southampton, thus mayhap to make Sharon jealous. The result is that he forgets Sharon in less time than it takes to tell. But the course of their true love does not run so smoothly.

El Brcndel, comedian of "The Cock Eyed World," appears as a Swedish groceryman of Yorkvillu, continually insulted by customers and pestered by small boys who steal his fruit. Once he leaps on a store intruder, and discovers it to be his little friend Janet. A water carnival number, one of the highlights, comprises three songs, one of which is a solo by Miss Gaynor, "I'm a Dreamer, Aren't We All," a love duet, "If I Had a Talking Picture of You," sung by Miss Gaynor and Farrell, and "Turn on the Heat," a spectacular jazz number sung and danced by Sharon Lynn and an ensemble of -60 beautiful chorus girls. George Gerhard, critic for the New York Evening World, wrote: "William Fox has another tremendous money-maker in "Sunny Side Up," the latest Janet Gaynor-Charles Farrell talking motion picture, which had its premiere last HAROLD LLOYD IN BIG PICTURE AT OPERA HOUSE Miss Johnson was born in Mount Vernon, N. and spent most of her time in exclusive girls' schools until she entered the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City about six years ago.

After about a year of study, she went to Chicago to play in U. Returning to New York at the close of that engagement, she found her services greatly in demand by Broadway producers. During the next four years she played feminine leads in a number of outstanding shows, including "The Beggar on Horseback." "The Free Soul," "All Dressed Up" and "Little Accident." It was while playing in I.os Angeles in "The Silver Cold" that Kay was "discovered" by Cecil B. DeMille, who was looking for a girl to play the leading role in his first talkie. "Dynamite." "I wanted an actress who could look as though millions, a big house and scores of servants were nothing," said DeMille.

"Miss Johnson had just that air about Bv DAX THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, Calif. When Kay Johnson walked on to a theatre stage, her mother saw her own ambitions realized for the first time. But even on that eventful night she never dreamed that her daughter, doing what she always had wanted to do, would some day be a shining star of the movies. "Mother always wanted a career," declared Miss Johnson, "but her parents wouldn't even listen to such wild ideas at least they considered them wild. Then she married my father and he refused to let her seek a career.

Consequently when she learned that I had ambitions for a career on the stage she was tickled to death. "My father was opposed to it at first but she finally won him over. I really believe that mother sees in my success the realization of her own ambitions. When she sees me work, it is just as if she were doing the work herself," Refuting the Publicity Man That's the story Kay told me as we were having lunch in the M-B-M cafe the other day. And a real artist and Knows what he must have.

i TWO BLACK CROWS NEXT Thursday night at the Gaiety (By Opera House Press Representative) Harold Lloyd, the sure-fire comedian of the screen, who thrilled the movie public with his "Safety Last," "Grandma's Boy," and others, now appears before the public in his first all-talking moving picture, "Welcome Danger," the screen classic being on the Opera House program for one entire week, beginning tomorrow at 1:15 o'clock. There will be four shows daily. "Welcome Danger" is one of the greatest examples of why Harold Lloyd is the most popular active Moran and Mack the Two Black Crows, will appear at the Opera and dancing debuts and they give Hou.se their all-talking moving picture, "Why Bring That Up?"

Bob Richardson of the Rivoli Theatre is a keen student of colored moving pictures. He had occasion to see the experiments now being made at the Pathe plant in Bound Brook, which he claims are most interesting. The study of color in films is so delicate a matter at present that progress is slow. But with hundreds of experts making experiments daily, remarkable improvements are expected within the present year. STRAND GOING TALKIE Only thirteen more days remain before the Strand Theatre management will write finis to the showing of silent moving picturej.

On February 1, the theatre will close, and when it reopens on Thursday, February 6, talking moving pictures will be shown. Manager Dave Snaper expects to announce the title of the first talkie to be shown at his Albany street theatre within the next few days. Twenty-one cases of Western Electric equipment arrived at the Strand Theatre last week, and workmen are now busily engaged in the preliminary installation of the talkie set. Within a few days the work of enlarging the projection booth will take place. Only nine seats will have to be removed in order that the booth may be of proper size.

Manager Snaper announced a slight increase in the price of admission at the Strand Theatre after February 6. At the matinee show, orchestra seats will cost twenty cents, while on Saturdays and holidays orchestra scats will sell for twentv-flve cents, a ten-cent increase. CAPITOL THEATRE BILL Patrons of the Capitol Theatre in South River will have no cause to complain of the type of talking moving pictures on this week's program. An all-star list of films has been announced by Dave Snaper for the South River movie house. "Big Time." from the story "Little Ledna" will be offered this evening.

Lee Tracey. Josephine Dunn, Stepin Fetchit and Mao Clarke have the leading roles. Kenneth Hawks directed the picture. For Monday and Tuesday, the Capitol feature will be "Seven Faces," with Paul Muni. "Wise Girls," starring Elliott and J.

C. Nugent, will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday. The film was presented at the Opera House last week and was acclaimed as one of the best of recent talking movin pictures. J. C.

PICTURE PASSE? Talking moving pictures have taken such a firm hold on theatregoers that silent pictures suffer greatly in comparison. Recently at two local theatres where the talkies had been offered regularly, silent pic-tuies were shown, and considerable adverse comment was heard.

It seems that talking moving pictures cause patrons to become used to the dialogue, so that when persons "talk" on the screen without being heard the scenes appear out of place. In a recent article appearing in "Zit," the popular theatrical publication, a writer tells of the remarkable changes that have taken place in Kay actually started to live her There is a great contrast be-, floriculture.

The added attractions include the eleventh episode of "Pirates of Panama" and the comedy "Outdoor Sports" starring Sid Savior. Tuesday's double feature program consists of "Cowboy and Outlaw" starring Bob Steele and "Thru Different Eyes" with Mary Duncan Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe starring.

The first is an intensely dramatic story of the western ranch life in the old days while the second is a murder mystery story of the highest calibre. Wednesday's feature is "arden of Eden" starring Corrinne Griffith. One of the screen's most beautiful women in the most elaborate picture of the age. A comedy drama that will appeal to all. The added attractions include a comedy "Help Wanted'' and a news reel.

The hardshclls declared that a two-reel picture was merely the one reel stretched out with padding, and when the fives came along there were many who held that any good story could be put into two thousand feet.
