New Comedy Full of Laughs

Plastered in Paris, featuring
the comedy team of Sammy Cohen
and Jack Pennick, coming to the
Vashon Theater Saturday night,
Dec. 5, is the most profusely gag
ged" picture thatfhas been booked
here in a long time
Notwithstanding the large num-
Der of comedy situations, the pic
ture holds definite continuity of
plot and objective, and is not just
lot of gags and wise-craek titles
pasted together as many comedy
productions are wont to be.
Among the laugh-a-minute Sc
quences, perhaps the funniest are
where Cohen, gassed in the trench
es, is shown in a hospital scene
but that would be telling. You
must see it to enjoy its humorous
vein in full. You will thorough
~ enjoy the antics of this mimi
table comedy team, Sammy Cohen
with his Jewish nose, and Jacl
Penniek.

viewed it there must have been a

The scenic effects were remark
able However there were moments
that those subject to seasickness
must have found narrowing. Even
certain of the titles left one slight

We should appreciate the fact
that at a very low price Of adj
mission We are able to see such
pictures as this, that are packing
city show houses.
a most ENJOYABLE phase Of last
Saturday evenings show was the
organ solos played by Rev. Car
stems. We hope that Mr.. Carstens
and Mr.. Burfield will again give
us this same treat.
