BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Carole Lombard drops her thin veil
of tragedy and becomes a whole
hearted Coincidence.
Chester Morris, who hasn't BEEN
seen in films lately comes back with
a bang as the hard-nosed office
Boy, Of gang Of racketeers. How
ever crooked his superiors may be,
the Office Boy" still saves S465 out
of his $500 salary each month, to
buy a garage and a simple cottage
in the country where he expects to
spend his dotage.
The cast has been expertly picked.
A poor set of actors could have
muffed the whole idea of the pic
ture, but Zasu Pitts, Leo GARLIC,
Nat Pendleton, and Sam Hardy
make just the proper backing for
the slap-stick comedy and fast-ay-
ing gags which lend to the picture
its zeSt.
The story of the film concerns
Miss Lombard in the role of Mary,
a Show-girl with domestic ideals and
financial ideas. She wins her way
into the heart of Shoots Magiz,
played by Mr.. Pendleton, whom she
tells of her whim for a home and
babies. He reluctantly agrees to
marry her.
DUT Mary goes on with her own
- little schemes, buys car and
adds several thousand dollars to the
price she tells her husband. She also
takes Corot painting which Shoots
has given her, substitutes copy for
the original and sells the real thing
for 100000.
The office Boy" finds out Mary's
little secrets but does not tell. He
merely makes life miserable for her,
by letting her think that he will
spill all to her husband.
But Dingle, one of Shoots hench-
men, blows his boss to bits and the
fight is on between Dingle and
Mickey, another one of the gang, as
to who will inherit the boss wife.
She plays up to both, promising to
marry the first one to get her trust
fund. The climax is there with sus-
pense and laughs.
The whole picture shoots itself up
into little pieces and comes out an
armful of confetti and fun. The lines
are witty, the comedy is not over
done and Miss Lombard's pseudo
tragic scenes are exceptional. Mr..
Garlic, Miss Pitts and Mr.. Hardy
team together well to give the pic
ture the obvious humor touch.
The picture was taken from
Charles Francis Goes story, Re
