R-K-O KEITRS-JOe Cook In Rain
or Shine"
TOE COOK in Rain OF Shine" is held
over this week at R-K-O Keith's
His picture Is said to have broken all
Summer attendance records at the Fiji
SNLGCt playhouse ObdkG SOdTS,
screen stars, vaudeville stars and circus
stars all combine to make Rain or
Shine" laugh sensation of the season,
and all are outshown by Joe Cook him
SELF who exhibits some of his best nom
sense. He is a comedian with a brand
of laugh material exclusively his own.
And the picture discloses him as an ac-
robat, musician, juggler, tight
rope walker, a magician, a singer and
what not.
A circus, complete in every detail,
forms the background of the story. This
is said to be the first time a stage mu-
steal comedy has been brought to the
screen without using the music. Instead
of the music, Columbia has accentuated
the comedy and given the production a
colorful circus background, with all the
color and glamour of the sawdust ring.
The picture shows the efforts of Joe
Smiley to keep the Rainey Circus run
ming smoothly and profitably for Mary
Rainey, despite the villainous behavior
of the ringmaster and the lion tanner
and the mean habits of the weather
man. One has to see it to really appre-
c1ate 1t. 1t is side-splitting.
