Able Comedians Make
Excellent Entertainment of ‘Paradise for Three
Frank Morgan and Edna May Oliver Shine at Loew's In Comedy About a Henpecked Industrialist Who Goes in for Slogans.
By JAMES THRASHER
An excellent erew of comedians is working one of the oldest surest of dramatic tricks in “Paradise for Three,”
Nothing pleases or flatters an at
one of the plot's secrets, while the players guess and blunder.
Edward Schulze arrives at an Alpine
award for a prize-winning slogan, the
spectators can sit back with a smug chuckle, For they know already that he is the wealthy Viennese manufacturer, Rudolph Tobler, What's more, he's president of the company that gave the prize. The film has one great advantage in the presence of Frank Morgan, who plays the eccentric, henpecked capitalist with his usual spluttering uncertainty. Another bright spot is Edna May Oliver, cast as Mr, Morgan’s nagging housekeeper. And when you add the comic talents of Herman Bing and Reginald Owen, the breezy and handsome Robert Young, two very decorative young ladies in Florence Rice and Mary
