It'll be a long "after" because Caly has to make "Wagons West- ward" for Columbla first. And wants to ft in a holiday to Japan before that.
Then there's always the fact that Miriam is really in Sam Goldwyn's employ, and may work for him again some time.
The consequence of it all is that Jessc Lasky, who has another story called "Curtain Call" which she'd like to do, is helding it up until Miriam gets her commitments sorted out.
A unique comedy situation which brings together such contrastive characters BLS 3 successful but goofy pill manufacturer, his equal- ly mad and cordially hated partner who is temporarily working as his valet, the latter's pretty sweet- heart, a gangster and his gold- digging wife, and a group of thugs, is the basis for much of the insane action in "On Again-Off Again." starring Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, which has its run at the Queen's Theatre to-day:
The occasion which unites the unusual group under one roof is a house party thrown by Woolsey who, jealous of his wife and his partner who is working as his valet because of losing a wrestling match, plans to humiliate his arch enemy in front of his sweetheart.
Directed by Edward Cline, "On Again-Off Again" has a support- ing cast which includes Marjorie Lord, Patricia Wilder, Russell Hicks. Esther Muir Paul Harvey. George Meeker, and a bevy of
