WHAT'S YOUR HUSBAND DOINGs

The picture at the Casino Theatre
tomorrow is a mirth-provoking screen
farce featuring Douglas Mclean and
Doris May. 1t is called What's Your
Husband Doing?" and was adapted
from George v. Hobart's stage play
that pleased Broadway not so long
ago.
Thomas H. Ince has apparently
struck twelve with these two delight
full young people and he has shown
commendable desire to provide them
with stories that bring out their high
spirits and comedy talents to the best
advantage. What's Your Husband
Doing" is about suspicious newly
wed wife named Beatrice Ridley who
wonderely why her husband received
letters every morning with Honey
suckle Inn," a lively roadhOuse, print
ed on the envelope. And wondering
she grew suspicious and consulted
lawyer. But the lawyer who special
lied in divorce cases had troubles
of his own with his wife. So did his
rotund and jovial business partner.
1t seems that the lawyers spouses
thought some Of the correspondents
with whom their husbands dealt. were
too good-looking, But by funny trick
the legal strategists turned the tables
on their wives. So the drinks-beg
pardon, eats were on the ladies and
they planned big party at Honey
suckle Inn" and gave the lawyers a
blanket invitation to come. This they
cleverly side-stepped because Pidgeon
the senior partner, had date there
with Mr.. Ridley, who owned part OF
the Inn and was selling out And
Widgast, the other lawyer, planned to
accompany Mrs. Ridley to the Inn to
try and solve the mystery of her hus-
bands letters.
So there was a hilarious melange
Of young and suspicious husbands and
wives at the Inn against a lively cara
ret background. And Mrs. Ridley.
drinking her first champagne, grew
humorously tipsy and the police broke
in at the last minute and packed the
whole party off to the county Jail.
What follows is too rich to reveal
gratis. Suffice it to say that COM
bination of Miss Mays fair face, Mr..
McLean's nerve, and golf-playing
judge bring about happy ending.
Doris May and Douglas MacLean
are two unspoiled young people with
abundant talents, loads of pep, and a
knack of dispensing comedy without
marring affectations or tricks. Miss
May is naive without being kittenish
She ranks with Madge Kennedy as
one of the few who can act a .tipsy
lady in thorough good taste and
evoke gales of laughter. Mr.. Mac
Lean is clean cut, good looking chap
but apparently doesn't let prevent
him from giving wholly pleasing
performance. We predict that they
will go far.
The picture is a Thomas H. Ince
production released by Paramount

reported, has purchased some $4,000
