MURRETTE I Harold Lloyd says that It took four months to dope out the ending of "Grandma's Boy" that final laugh that made its first audience, when it was previewed in Long Beach, Calif., laugh so hard that it held up the next act for 10 minutes. The hardest part 'of a comedy, contends Lloyd and his producer, Hal Roach, is the "gag" for the final fadeout. "Grandmas' Boy" is hailed as Harold Lloyd's most pretentious comedy in a lineup of laugh-producing photoplays that have not had one mark against them. Lloyd's newest comedy is always a step forward, and "Grandma's Boy" is a mighty big stride ahead. It is in. five reels and Its laughs,

thrill3 and suspense are built around a theme as serious as the psychology of fear. Lloyd is seen as the bashful

small town boy, afraid of his own shad

ow. When his little old-fashioned grandmother comes to his rescue with

her great wisdom and teaches hinv the meaning of self-confidence, he makes the. sleepy little town of Blossom Bend and the Girl in particular sit up

and take notice, that the worm ha turned! v

"Grandma's Boy" is from the story by producer Hal Roach, and Sam Taylor and Jean Haves. Fred Newmeyer directed, and the cast includes pretty

Mildred Davis, Anna Townsena, dick Sutherland, Charles Stevenson and Noah Young. It 13 an Associated Exhibitors feature comedy and will be shown at the Murrette theatre starting Sunday.

WASHINGTON

The small type of motor car, cor

responding with the much ridiculed "flivver" plays the hero role among the props in 'Acos3 the Continent."-, a new Paramount picture starring Wal

lace Reid which comes to the Washington theatre Sunday. "This is the first time," said Byron Morgan, author of he stoy and scenario, "that a small car of the popular type has been cast for a heroic role in a film. Ordinarily it is the big powerful machine that gets in the limelight. But here we have the 'Dent' car with the star at the wheel, winning out and playing a big role i na drama for love and business. "Wallace Reid didn't know much about the type of car he had to drive, but he learned quickly. You see, he's used to big powerful motors, and at first, the little car seemed like a toy to him. But he found that it could make atoout 85 miles an hour and then he began to like it." A vivid, unusual story, a star of undoubted merit, a succession of exquisite settings all superbly directed and artistically photographed that is a tabloid version of William's.' Hart's

latest Paramount picture, "Travelin On," to be presented at the Washing

ton theatre next Thursday for a limited season of three days. . The picture is a virile typification of Arizona as it was in its most picturesque days, when might was right, and a highly-strung trigger finger dictated the law. It introduces many characters which have long ceased to exist, chief among them being the fiery tealot, traveling from town to town in a wagon painted with Biblical phrases, preaching the word of God in the face of most determined opposition PALACE To review a Tom Mix picture Is always a pleasure, Decause, while the writer is viewing the picture to tell the public about It,, he knows he is sure of making a pleasure of business; The new Tom Mix picture which William Fox presents Sunday at tha Palace theatre makes anyone forgst business. It is thrilling. It is enV-.rtain-ing. It has -what the motion picture folk call the "big punch." It is bo fast in its action that the lights go on

MURRAY "The Jolt." a Fox production which is scheduled to open at the Murray theatre Sunday established a record for the Fix laboratory. The original negative was rushed from California, where the picture was made, to the Fox studios at 55th Street and Tenth Avenae, New York city, where the Fox Eastern laboratory is located. In less than a day 26 prints were completed and on their way to all parts of the world. The. supervisor of the labora

tory was out to establish a record, and succeeded. As one parer puts it: "The marvels of the motion picture industry are not all in the picture as the public sees it on the screen. This fact is brought out forcefully by a visit to the Fox laboratory in the Fox studio at .Tenth Avenue and 55th Street, New York city. Few know of the great strides in laboratory technique that have made the tremendous growth of the industry possible." It was not so long ago that positive film was printed on a machine that was turned by hand, with halts here and there to give different density to the scenes. Now all that i3 done by machines that work automatically; notches in the negative controlling the difference in lighting.
