Laurel, Hardy
At CoIumbio

Laurel and Hardy, Of comedy
fame, are cavorting at Loew'S Co
lumbia Theater. Way Out
West" is a Slap-Stick performance
which should prove first-rate
movie fare for this Steaming
weather. AS a comedy team,
Oliver and Stan can claim a
unique spot, but their popularity
is in direct ratio to their personal
appeal. Like them and this show
is one of their, best. if not it is
just repetition of their particular
brand of foolishnesS.
Not Much Story
A title such as this might warn
that here is a burlesque on an
old-faShioned Western, or perhaps
it doesn't even mean to be that,
but it is a series Of mirth-provok-
ing situations scarcely bound to-
gether by even a story. Laurel
and Hardy are foot-looSe and into
mischief. Innocent, of course. but
most of the time the sheriff is
making an untimely appearance
or the wrong girl is getting into
the way, or something is going
strangely wrong.
The gentlemen are searching for
Mary Roberts that they may give
her a legacy, a gold mine, left her
by her father. That is about the
sum total but that provides a
thread for q full-length feature.
Movie patrons who have followed
the fortunes of these two in the
years may be surprised at a newly
found talent, singing and dancing
in no mean manner. Harmonizing
and Glowing, in Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" for example,
offers some of the most amusing
interludes of the play.
Interesting News Shots
Pictures of the Scout Jamboree
in Washington and recent snaps
of courageous Amelia Earhart en-
barking on this disastrous flight
indicate the diversity of the news
releases. Two short subjects add
to the program, one in color is
unusually beautiful as it pictures
the islands of Java and Ceylon
and the port of Hongkong. An
other of the series of Crime
