Song of the Road (Stellar Productions). During World War I Scottish Comedian Harry Lauder, 47, arrived in Manhattan and, with a troop of skirling, skirted bagpipers, raised the U. S. martial temper by stamping around with his crooked stick, singing We A' Go Hame the Same Way, The Wee Hoose 'mang the Heather. Last week, No. 35 of World War II, Sir Harry Lauder, 69, was back in the U. S. But not in person, on film. Said he: "A wee bit o' celluloid crosses the ocean just as fast and at ha' the price." On celluloid, Sir Harry in his first talking picture, a weak-kneed melodrama, played the trouping grandfather of a motherless baby. Grandfather spends most of his time and money keeping the child away from its no-good father. Minus the bagpipers, Sir Harry Lauder stamped around with his crooked stick, sang The End o' the Road, We A' Go Hame the Same Way.
