is a cyclone, a really funny one. While
the wind is blowing a house away
Pollard is taking a quiet little nap.
He then decides that Kansas cyclones
are not to his liking and that Call
fornia sunshine is the thing for him.
So the trip overland begins in a fliv-
yer. The scene at the auto camping
park is a scream. 1t is there that
Pollard runs on to a new brand Of per-
fume.
This Snub Pollard comedy IS slap
stick, but it is crowded full Of many
laughs. The tollgate episode is just
about as clever hoakum scene as
one would expect to find any place.
There is a corking good comedy idea
when Pollard is introduced to Cali
fornia sunshine. 1t turns out to be
rain. Even the orange crop is I'M
friendly.
The serious part of the bill is a
melodrama,' Westbound Limited" a
railroad story. Ralph Lewis, who did
so much with 1.-THE Third Alarm" is
the chief actor. He is the heroic
engineer.
Here is good melodrama from the
old school all dressed up in 1928
movie style. There is a sensational
fire scene with a great fast train
spinning over the tracks. Oh, there
are many thrills in this melodrama.
1t is wholesome and interesting.
If you like melodrama, then West
bound Limited" was made for you.
The bill includes a tantalizing little
organ solo by Lester Huff, a clever
little song by a member Of Virgil
Moore's orchestra and a weekly.
