Main, who is no mean bell ringer
herself in any laugh meter test.
These assets, plus a good sup
porting cast and a novel western
background, put this new laugh
offering on any theatre-goer
must list.
Housewares Statesmen
The story has Lou and Bud as
housewares statesmen, who find
their way into the wild western
town of Wagon Gap in Montana.
Pudgy little Costello is charged
with shooting a no-good resident,
and under the law must support
the victims family and pay all
the debts. Miss Main is the vic
TINS widow, and she and her
seven children - some pretty,
some homely, but all brats -
become Costello's' charges.
Riotous scenes take place on
the widows farm as she forces
Costello to do the chores. One
hilarious routine involves when
frog is placed in Costello's soup
by the widows overgrown son.
Another is when Miss Main wins
back Louis services in a poker
game with Abbott and Gordon
Jones, saloon owner and leader
of the towns gunner.
Well Cast and Played
George Cleveland does an
amusing portrayal as judge.
William Ching and Peter Thomp-
son are handsome and stalWart
law enforcing gents. Aundrey

ADDRESSES NAACP

The saddest and worst type
Of discrimination is vested in
terests of minority groups,

lie discrimination for their dis
elimination for their own self
iSh advancement" This dynam-
ic statement was made by Pro-
feSsor Wingfield Chamberlain,
noted Economist of Suffolk Uni
versity, who addressed over so
members Of the NAACP Youth
Council Saturday Aug 81.
while this may be natural on
the part of some selfish mem
bers like this to expose such
interests as found in the minis
try, the Undertaking business
and in (strictly) racial or re-
ligious insurance companies, "
Professor Chamberlain also
stressed the effects of diScrimin-

that it was based on emotional
trouble, prejudice and that leg
islation couldn't solve all prob
