Poor BrOu-n

Scripps- Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL
Rep. Percy Lee Gassaway,
whose boots and 10-gallon hat
emphasize his right to the self
selected radio title 'the Okla
homa cowhand," is about to go
on a bear hunt.
And the bear he is going to
hunt is one that walks like a
man. His name is Haywood
Broun.
Rep. Gassaway is hopping
mad at Haywood. For in his
newspaper column Mr.. Broun
referred to Rep. Gassaway of
Arkansas"
The Oklahoman was in his
office when he read it. He
reached into his pocket for a
pearl handled knife with a six
blade, which he began whetting
on his boots.
I'll teach that city slicker
something" he said. HE came
from New York and can't tell a
cowboy from a hill-billy."

With
Mary BoIond
At Met

There is always something very
fundamental and human about a
Mary Boland- Charles Ruggles pic
ture.
Their lives automatically speak
ing) are compounded with all the
frailties, loves, laughs and sorrows
that go towards the making up of
the average Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie always shades his parts
with the futile patheticisms of Mr..
Milquetoast.
Early to Bed" their latest Para
mount offering is now on view at
the Metropolitan. Surrounded by
an all Paramount bill of subsidi-
aries that include a newsreel and
Varieties these try to, relieve the
summers heat and boredom.
After 20 years of courtship Tes-
sic and Chester, quaint leftovers
from a forgotten era, decide to
wed. Instead Of Niagara that Tes-
sic had set her heart on they 60
to Okawobogee Lake where Ches-
ter is bent on a big business deal.
It is there that TeSSie learns of
Chester'S secret sorrow.
He is a sleepwalker. Stolen
jewels, murder and other crimes
occur at the summer resort. In
the due course of events every
thing clears itself up and the real
criminal comes to light exonerat-
ing Chester and winning for him
respect and honeymoon at Nj
agara.
If you are one that enjoys Mary
Boland's malaprops and she has
her quota this time and if you en-
joy the sight of pompous George
Barber in his barefoot meander-
ing through meadows then go no
further than this picture.
Gags perfectly timed build up
one on top of another until their
let down leave you exhausted. Be
sides the principals the cast in
cludes Gail Patrick, Lucien Little
field, Robert McWade and Sidney
Blackmer. Ruggles flights into
the realms of Freudian somnam-
bulisms are pE'haps the funniest
antics of the current season.
