THEATERGOERS who have been unable to see "Tugboat Annie,” costarring Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery, during its initial run at Loew s Palace, are granted a second opportunity to view this outstanding production, according to an announcement by Jac Flex, manager of the theater, with the holding over of this screen masterpiece for the second week. For the first time since their outstanding success in “Min and Bill,” Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery are together again in a production which is said to reach even greater stellar heights than any of their previous pictures.
"Tugboat Annie" brings Marie, Dressier to the screen in the role of a redoubtable feminine skipper of Puget Sound, and Wallace Beery is seen as the irresponsible but irresistable Captain Terry. As the much heralded picturization of Norman Reilly Raine’s Saturday Evening Post stories, "Tugboat Annie" brings a vivid blend of comedy and drama to the screen in a manner for which Dressier and Beery have won the hearts of thousands of screen fans. Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery have hilarious quarrels, thrills, tears and tense drama, with a background of north- j western waterfronts. Marie Dressier is seen in the role of the aggressive tugboat captain whose husband, played by Wallace Beery, is a shiftless drunkard, and Robert Young is seen as the son. who grows up. becomes captain of an ocean liner and marries the Murray, Joan Marsh and Jackie Searl. High Gear concerns a daring race driver who loses his nerve after being responsible for the death of his mechanic. Randolph Scott is the star of the second feature.
