humid week last summer. 1t i'm

a hit of the season. Although ad-
mirers OF the Drews were pleased at
their stage hit their pleasure was
shaded by the conviction that the
Drews would not return to the films
for many a day.
The Drews, however. had no inten-
tions Of desertinE the films. They
simply wanted a change OF work, and

desired. The lure of the films, how
ever, did not leave them, and a short
time ago. arrangements were com
plcted with Paramount to begin the
production OF a series OF short comedy
subjects OF the same kind that made
the Drews' name prominent in the
film world months ago.
