Current Reviews "DOUBLING FOR ROMEO" Miller's Will Rogers’ latest comedy, "Doubling for Romeo," by "Elmer Rice, Will Rogers and Will Shakespeare," contains valuable variations in its satire, which have not often been found in Goldwyn productions starring the famous humorist. This burlesque opens in a small western town, jumps to the California picture studios, then to the Verona of Shakespeare's vivid imagination only to end, of course at the village parson's; but never does it let up the sprightly "kidding" with which Rogers opens his first subtitle. Three fourths of these titles, by the way, are sure to be received uproariously due to their frank humor and clever sarcasm. Clarence Badger's production makes the most of the points provided in Bernard McConville's scenario while pleasing photography in some cases of more elaborate sets than have yet decorated this star's pictures, is the contribution of Marcel le Picard. Rogers himself has never meant more to the picture profession than he does as Slim, alias Romeo Montague in this photoplay; for not only is he himself, well loved as few type actors are, as the former, but he is here permitted his first screen opportunity to display ability in the graceful kind of part that is Romeo. This he does delightfully in snatches between the ridiculous moments to which he submits the age adored lover and the result is highly entertaining. An excellent type for Lulu, the romantic country maiden who possesses a Juliet soul, is Sylvia Breamer, who works very well indeed with the star, besides continually forming a charming picture. William Orlamond as the "take off" on the modern film director is a huge laugh in himself, (his talent for burlesque is an individual art) while Jimmy Rogers as the sophisticated child celebrity, Jimmie Jones, is also enjoyable. Perfect types are Raymond Hatton, Sydney Ainsworth, Al Hart, John Cossar, C. E. Thurston and Roland Rushton for their respective roles of Steve Woods (Paris), Pendleton (Mercutio), Big Alec (Tybalt), Foster (Capulet), Duffy Saunders (Benvolio) and the parson (Friar Lawrence). An hour's more profitable recreation than is "Doubling for Romeo" would be difficult to conjure. (Camera Vol. 4 No. 28 p.5)
