They could dish it out and they have to take it! Paraphrasing the slang expression given wide cur- rency recently. this summarizes the story of "Sons of the Desert," the Laurel and Hardy, feature- length comedy coming to-morrow to the Queen's Theatre.
As demonstrated by the two boys. the "dishing out" practice consists of deceiving their wives. who in turn are responsible for the ardent members of the "Sona of the Desert" lodge "taking it."
