Laurel and Hardy In "Babes In Toyland".

Since childhood days, everyone las heard of the Bogeymen. But how many actually know what these sinister inhabitants of youth's "Inferno" look ilke? Flim- dom's conception can be seen in Hal 'Babes in Toyland," ' the Roach-M-G-M picturization of Victor Herbert's "operetta. With Laurel and Hardy as stars, the the feature-length film is enjoying an extended run at the Queen's Theatre.

ין

The Bogeymen, fearful creatures indeed, are the enemies of those beloved characters of the Mother Goose rhymes and other childhood writings, who move through the Hal Roach opus. One of the most exciting sequences in the picture shows the defeat of these fearful forces by Laurel and Hardy and the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Toyland.
