Mad, merry, and mirthful-tune- ful, too-tickling and tantalizing- gorgeous, girl-filled and glamorous that's "Artists and Models," the new Jack Benny girlgag-and- music romance which has its run at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres to-day.
The story opens with Jack Benny, head of the dizziest ad- vertising agency in the world, torn between the fires of approaching bigamy and a breach-of-promise sult. He has promised to marry Ida Lupino, beautiful model whom he has sold to Richard Arlen for use in Dick's advertising cam- paign. But in the meantime. Jack has fallen in love with Gall Pat- Tick. Dick's fance! And just to give him a few additional head- aches, Jack remembers that he has promised both Ida and Gall that he will have each of them elected Queen of the Artists and Models Ball, of which he is chairman.
