But if you can stand an evening of continuous merrimen~ and would drive away the blues, here s your chance. This 'is good clean comedy presented hv an exceJ1,.nt cast headed by Grant Mitchell. There is nothing so very new about the story but vou forget that in viewing the way it is handled. In order to win the object of his affections, a perfectly proper and upstanding young man finds it necessary to h·ave a "past." And aided by his father-in-l:tw-to-he he fakes one that is apparentlv hullet proof. But imagine the possibilities when the "woman" in his fictitious put appears uoon the scene with a burly fiance. And then father-in-law has a few troubles of his own that simoly compound the lau11hs. It is fun all the way through and there is a surprise finish you are sure to like. , · I think of no one. unless it might be Ralph Morllan. who could step into the part of Chester Binney and deliver :ts does Mr. Mitchell.
