"PAPAfS DELICATE CONDITION”
If there was ever a motion picture
that the families of America will Icve
and clasp to their hearts, it is the
Technicolor *'Papa*s Delicate Condition,”
which plays at the GALAX THEATRE Tues
day, July 30th.
Starring Jackie Gleason and Glynis
Johns, with Laurel Goodwin, Charlie Rug-
gles and little Linda Bruhl, this motion
picture is adapted from the best selling
book of the same title• Set in Grange-
ville, Texas in the early years of this
century, "Papa^s Delicate Condition"
tells the humorous, heartwarming story
of the Griffith family whose members
include; Papa, Mama, Augusta, Corinne,
and Grandfather Ghio, who is mayor of
Texarkana, Texas.
Jackie Gleason is ideal for the role
of Papa. He breathes life and believa-
bility into the robust, flamboyant char
acter who tries to make everybody happy,
but succeeds only in alienating his
family,
Glynis Johns, as Mama, enacts her
role with warmth, understanding, and
Christian righteousness.
Paramount^s screen discovery, Laurel
Goodwin, portrays Augusta, the oldest
daughter who continually finds fault with
her papa.
In a manner reminiscent of Shirley
Temple, seven—year-old Linda Bruhl plays
Corinne, and audiences throughout the
world should fall in love with her. She
is charming, adorable, and can act sur
prisingly well for a child her age.
