THE DUDE RANCH"- "ORIENTAL THEATRE,
"Dude Ranch," the production now offered at the Oriental Theatre, is a story of the wild and woolly West of the United States.
Jack Oakie, leader of a troupe of}] ham actors', and Stuart Erwin, proprietor of a "dude" ranch, ar- range for a series of western plays to be performed out in a little hick town nearby. The actors. put up at the local hotel which they soon turn into a veritable bedlam, and as a result many amusing scenes, and dialogue enate with the typi cal 'Oakie touch.
Eugene Pallette and Mitzi Green are also responsible for many laugh-raising episodes in this amus- ing film. June Collyer furnishes the romantic_interest.
