Spring" Again (by Isabel Leighton & Bertram Bloch; produced by Guthrie Mc-Clintic) becomes a funny comedy about an hour and a half after the curtain rises. Until then it pants and puffs, nervously broad-jumping from joke to joke and depending for interest on the deft performance of Comedienne Grace George (The Circle, Kind Lady). When, at the end of Act II, it suddenly bolts forward like a race horse that has been given the whip, it's a little too late for it to be in the money.
Spring Again tells of a testy oldster (well played by Movie Oldster C. Aubrey Smith) who idolizes the memory of his father, a great Civil War general; and of the oldster's wife who, sick to death of the family hero, makes irreverent but remunerative copy of him in a radio serial. But this comedy idea is too slight. It takes livelier things, like the brash, terrible-mannered Hollywood magnate (played for all he's worth by Joseph Buloff) who finally barges in, to pile up the laughs.
