Winnie Lightner returns to the gold digger character—-the type of role for which she is famous—in “The Life of the Party,” the Warner Brothers natural color Vitaphone production at the Rivoli Theater Sunday and Monday. Miss Lightner as everybody knows made her first great, success as a typical smart-cracking gold digger in “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” and it is in this same medium that she is seen in this new picture—-a picture made of and for laughter. . No one enjoyed Miss Lightner’sl return to a gold digging role more] than Miss Lightner herself, who practiced new gags and grimaces for several weeks before the picture went into production. “The Life of the Party” brings her to the screen at her uproarious best, while the all star cast includes such famous stage and screen players as Irene Delroy, Jack Whiting, Gharle’s Butterworth and Charles Judels. It is adapted to the screen by Arthur Caesar, king of Broadway wits, who also gets credit, for the sparkling dialogue. Rpy Del Ruth, who directed Miss Lightner in “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” directed ‘‘The Life of
the Party.”
