Then follows the netion involving Jack Oakie when he drives his taxien smash-bang into the front window of the police station-and The action involving Palletto when he drives Miss MacDonald's road- ster across the top of a fire-plug, causing much hilarious wreckage.
There's action galor aboard the vessel that is transporting them all to South America-in the hold where Oakie, William Anatin and James Hall are stokers. In the din ing saloon where they later appear as waiters. On the deck when they all indulge in the greet tat-tossing orgy. Is the companionways and cabins when the ship is wrecked. In the salty wastes of the Atlantie when they cruiso about in life-rafts. On the tropical isle where they find Skeets Gallagher and his sun-tanned cernglic of stranded chorines from Brooklyn.
Add to this the irrepressible | buffoonery of Onkia and his fellow- players, the delectable romancing of Miss MaoDoriald, and all the catchy tunes and the frisky dunge routines. Then you have a fair estimate of the grand show which operts at the Central Theatre to-day.
