Continuous hearty laughter will be your reaction to this riotously funny picture with a of the foremost comics of the screen telling and acting it clever little story. What more cmild any filmgner ask for his (teat money than the invariable good time to he had in the company of Man- Boland, Charlie Ruggles, Gracie Allen, George Burn.

W. C. Fields and Alison Skipworth? There sre several other persons to laugh at, and with, and a for Glory the dog, he 1 a panic in himself. Flora and Pinky Whlnney (Boland and Ruggles) have decided to spend Pinky' two weeks summer vacation from the bsnk, where he is a clerk, driving to California. They have been married 20 yeare and are determined to enjoy a second honeymoon.

Dane Lumber Along To lessen expenses. Flora advertises for a couple to share the trip, and Georg and Gracie respond. AH might have been well had not Gracie' dog joined the caravan. Gracie described him as a cute bird dog but he turns out to be a Great Dane, lumbering, weighty and with a mean disposition for everybody hut Gracie. Glory's oc-rupsncy of the front seat, to the great confusion of Driver Pinky, never ceases to he uproariously funny.

A bad homhre In the bank helps himself to $.10,000 worth of bonds and plants them in poor Pinkv's suit case, intending to get It off the car running board later, A Long hase However, due to Gracie's insane misreading of the road map and highway signs, the quartet take none of the planned route so the thief has to follow clear across to Nuggetsville. to catch up with the stolen securities. In this town live the Duchess (Miss Skipworth), running the hotel, and Sheriff "Honest' John Hoxley (Fields). The rest is one of those things nobody can tell about it just has to be seen while you laugh your head off. Never has Gracie been nuttier or funnier, and that goes for all of them.

Fields does one of his old time stage stunts for the first time on the screen, and it Is worth going across country to see whether or not you ever guffawed over it the legitimate theater. If patron of the Kisher this week are not hysterical and limp from laughing then nothing the screen and its player can ever do will brighten up the corner where you are. E. H. McC.

Not Much Rense What they do before Brendel saves the store for ZaSu and decide to marry her, and Pert come riding back In the most rldiculou manner to fall in thf arm of Gleason, doesn't make much sense. But, as is generally the case, nothing else matters when this quintet are on hand to cut capers.
