Summary
Only such a master of characterization as Sinclair Lewis could have built up a 'Babbitt,' typical of American businessman of practical exterior, whose heart as young with dreams of romance. And it is this story of 'Babbitt,' in all its realism and wistfulness, that is being shown at the Coronet Theatre. Film plot included. That is the character that Willard Louis portrays in the Warner Bros.' Classic of the Screen, 'Babbitt.' Willard Louis is supported by Mary Alden, Carmel Myers, Raymond McKee, Maxine Elliott Hicks, Cissy Fitzgerald and Dale Fuller. The story is adapted to the screen by Dorothy Farnum, while the camera work was done by David Abel.
