double news. The R-K-O Center

A Coofy Comedy
Saw the first starring picture
of Burns and Allen run off in
the Earle screening room yester-
day. It is called Many Happy
Returns" and will be the feature
picture beginning Friday.
George Burns and Oracle Allen
must kiss the radio microphone
every time they see it. For it
raised them from a 5000 a week
standard comedy act of vaude-
vile into eminence that commands
$4,000 a week. To think that
such a little instrument could
manufacture such pay raise.
BY increasing the size of their
audience.
A real Burns and Allen fan can
listen to the nutty sayings Of
Oracle for hours on end and then
ask for more. There are others,
like myself. who can take the
B. & A. dumbellisms in short
doses and without shaking.
Many Happy Returns is
frothy summer entertainment.
That is you can doze for ten min
utes, wake up, and find that you
haven't lost anything really neces-
sary for complete enjoyment. For
instance if you see Oracle Allen
while she is word fencing with
psycho-analySist who is trying to
find her fixation or libido you
see the funniest sequence that has
come from Hollywood in some
time. There is also an hilarious
Pullman car scene.
