After MacLean’s retirement from | the screen several years ago, he was lost to view for a while, until “Cracked Nuts,” a Radio Pictures’ vihicle for Wheeler and Woolsey, blazoned its -title sheet across the sky, with MacLean as co-author and supervisor.

Not Of Pun Variety The dialogue in MacLean's pro- duction, written by Ralph Spence, is emphatically -not of the pun variety. The laughs, rather, come from the high. humor .of ludicrous, thrilling or dramatic situations. In .other words, “Caught Plas- tered,” is the product of study and labor, the careful analysis of a real story for comedy values. Besides the patter of Woolsey, the whimsical humor of Wheeler and the charm of Miss Lee, the preduction has a worth-while theme. Tonight is “Silver Night.” Every woman attending either perform- ance will receive a piece of table silverware. other, and finally, in fifth place, came the director doing the ques- tioning. i “Don’t T come better than fifth?” | DICKIE MOORE, Mentgemery is seen as an English butler buttoning the back All-Alaska News Mrs. W.

Hurry calls to the studio commissary brought out three other roasts prepared in the big kitchens for possible emergen- cles. Remember This One?
