COLUMBIA—"For Heaven's Sake.” S. R.

The bespectacled comedian now. as in the past, proves over and over again the real demand for good. clean entertainment, and his pictures in- variably show that he fully meets the demand. “For Heaven's Sake" visualizes what happens when a_ wealthy young clubman unwittihgly finances a slum mission house, turns philanthropist and falls in love with the missionary’s pretty daughter. The manner in which Harold draws the neighborhood into the fold of Brother Paul would cause the most blase movie patron to gasp for air, for laugh upon laugh follows in quick succession.

The story, an original by Carey Wilson, concerns three girl popularity contest winners from Watertown, Conn., who are sent by their home- town paper on a trip to Monte Carlo, with Bancroft of the Watertown News as master of ceremonies. Ban- croft, with all the assurance of the self- satisfled small town newspaper man, promises the girls, at the start, that they shall meet and hobnob freely with “royalty.” No sooner had they arrived at the fashionable resort than he is urged to make good his promises.
