There is an all star cast headed by the inimitable comedy team, Aline MacMahon and Guy Kibbee, whom | audiences will remember for their hilarious team work in “The Merry Frinks” and “Gold Diggérs of 1933." | The picture, based on an uproar- | jously funny story by the famous au- | thor, Sophie Kerr, while largely com- edy, is spiced with a delightful ro- mance ‘with the charming Patricia Ellis and Phillip Reed in the roles of the lovers. Their affair runs the |z gauntlet of exceedingly rough paths however, in the shape of ‘paternal| wrath on the part of a crabbed amif crotchety parent. Aline MacMahon, as the mother, takes a hand in smoothing the way | for the lovers by taming her nagging and ill-natured husband by givii him a dose of his own .medicine which provides some highly amusing | and novel situations. Guy Kibbee, in the title role, pro- vokes the family discord by his stub- born insistence that his children be brought up in poverty and ignorance Jjust as he himself had been, although he has attained to affluence.
