 Ralph W. Chambers and Jack Motte do some of the best comedy team work in this delightful comedy drama that mas been seen here in many a day. Ihey are cast as two promising young men. who have chosen a breezy occu- patton. They are divorce lawyers.
 Attorneys Widgast and Pidgeon cer- tainly worked together with q pre- cislon that was almost word for word and lock step action. They were not supposed to have even a secret from the other, but in series of laugha- Die complications that follow the con- trary proves to be the case.
 AS the suspicious and jealous wives of the two divorce attorneys Lillian Piekert and Marion Davidson are in- deed comical. It is the profound belief Of the two wives that every core spondent Is necessarily a beauty, and they believe that their husbands have chosen dangerous profession
 Alt four actors worked together wonderfully in scene where the hus- bands stage an innocent scene that in- cludes a so-called correspondent. Their brutal rudeness is supposed to prove that they are not susceptible to the charms of correspondents
 Taken as whole, the play is a great laugh success.
