LAUGHTER.
When Paramount starred Nancy. Carroll in The Devil's Holiday !* several months ago, it started what seems now to be a dramatic tradi- tion. For the ineffably compotent Miss Carroll redows her meritorious work in the heavy trappings of serious sided pretending when sho protrays the role of the misunder- stood Poggy Gibson in "Laughter at this Theatre to-day. But
In The Devil's Holiday" she was seen as the gold-digger type of girl who finally was brought to a realisation of life's humbler joys through, tragic circumstances, In Laughter" she is soon as an ex- Follies girl who marries a man of wealth, albeit a man of years con- aiderably more advanced than her. own. It is this continual lack of confidence in her; his' failure to understand the youthful psychology of her gay spirit for play which forums the plot fabric. In addition to this sho is always getting the bad breaks in the play. Although innocent of blame, she is charged with being a burglar; even finally with complicity in murder. But in the end she attains freedom.
Fredric March, as a young com poser who falls in love with her carly in the picture, and stays in that happy state until its con- clusion, gives a performance worthy
of his talents. As the doughty old Wall Street broker to whom she is married, Frank Morgan does a neat job of it.
