"OLD HUTCH"

Millions of readers roared at "Old" Hutch" when the story ap- peared in a national magazine. They and additional millions will laugh when they see Wallace Beary In the title role of the film version opening to-day at the King's Theatre.

The "laziest man in the world" finds $100,000 in stolen bills and he can't find a way to spend it!

That's the predicament in which Wallace Beery finds himself in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Old

Butch."

Eric Linden and Cecilla Parker, the lovable romantic team of “Ah, Wilderness! supply the heart in- terest for the production, which was directed by. J. Walter Ruben, of "Riffraft" and "Trouble for Two" fame.

Elizabeth Patterson, who recent- ly scored as Janet Gaynor's mother in "Small Town Girl." appears in the role of Mrs, Hutchins, Beers's

Mrs wife.

The original story by Garret Smith was hailed as a screen nat ural when it appeared the "Saturday Evening Post." It was produced by Harry Rapt.

Beery encompasses the rich per- sonal experience of his colourful characterization of "Old" Hatch." He was great in "Ah Wilder- neasi" and many other not. able triumphs, but never has he been cast in a role that was better adapted to his peculiar abilities.

The picture was filmed in the picturesque Ranta Cruz, ranch country.
