He is something distinctly different and altogether refreshing. When single- handed, he attempts to replace the en- tire personnel of a three-ring circus, and does it successfully, too. the specta- tors’ emotions are a complication of hilarity and amazement. The big cast of movie stars, including Louise Fazends, Joan Peers, William Collier, jr.; Alan Roscoe and Adolph Milar, also acquit themselves excellently. Louise Farenza plays one of those ex- aggerated comedy roles for' which she is famous. Teamed with the ridiculous antics of Tom Howard, it is a delight to behold.
