When the announcement is made
that Colleen Moore is coming to the
Carolina Theatres, every patron
knows that there is happiness ahead,
and in this instance the title of her
picture happens to be just that.
In “Happiness Ahead” Colleen
Moore has another of her well-known
human and likable roles as a country
girl who marries a city crook and ef
fects his redemption. The city crook
is played by none other than EMmund
Lowe, that suave gentleman who made
such a hit in the crook picture,
“Dressed to Kill” which was shown in
the' Carolina Theatres last Spring.
Miss Moore is ably supported by a
wonderful cast including Lilyan Tasb-
man, Edyth Chapman and Arthur
Housman. A distinct novelty on the
same program will be the first of a
series under the head of “Great Stars
and Authors,” entitled “Walls Have
Ears,” in which appear the famous
stage stars, Madge Kennedy, Roland
Young, Hale Hiunilton and others.
These subjects are produced by the
Authors League of America and will
be a welcome novelty on any pro
gram. “Happiness Ahead” will be
seen at the Carolina Theatres on Fri
day and Saturday.
On Monday and Tuesday, the
screen’s hero, John Gilbert, will be
seen in his newest production, “Four
Walls*' in which Joan Crawford is his
leading lady and Carmel Myers, Vera
Gordon and Lous Natheux lend won
derful support. “Four Walls” is filled
vrth action, an dexciting incidents
leading to an exceedingly dramatic
climax.
On the same program is a Grant-
land Rice Sportlight, entitled “A Fair
Affair,” an Aesops Fables, Sunny
Italy,” the Pathe Review and the new
est News.
