The Poor Rich at Dickinson Theater
A light Dickinson program features Edna May Oliver and Edward Everett Horton in The Poor Rich with a mix of farce and romance. The cast includes Thelma Todd in a secretary role and Andy Devine as a comic English nobleman, plus Raft and Menjou in gendered disguises and a bullfighting subplot. The review calls it fair entertainment but notes Raft’s accent and performance as weak for the Mexican bull fighter angle.
