KOLB AND DILL ARE
FULL OF MERRIMENT

Kolb and Dill in their latest and
newest comedy farce "In Politics,
written for thei by the late Aaron
Hoffman, will appear at the Grand
Theatre Tuesday Dec, % for one per-
Torrance. This newest vehicle can
only be described by stating that it
is the funniest farce that they have
ever appeared in and using this term
is only putting it mildly, for it is
packed solid with comedy, singing
and dancing.
1t is rich in mirth, provoking lines
and extremely ridiculous situations,
and Kolb and Dill make the most Of
every opportunity for they have new
er played more suitable roles than
the two German vagabond characters
they portray. "In Politics" is a polit-
ical satire on the present political
situations growing out of the fact
that in a small town where there were
only two Democrats and the balance
of the town Republicans. They were
arrested for vagabonds after serving
a part of their sentence, they were re-
leased on Election Day to fill the va
cancy of the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, and here's where the fun
begins. Until the very end of the
story they are in and out of some
very nerve racking escapes that grips
and holds the audience, despite the
