"Skinner Steps Out" is based Shanghai and Europe via Siberia. on one of the famous "Skinner" stories, from the pen of Henry Irving Dodge. Matt Taylor made the adaptation for the screen, and, with Albert DeMond, wrote the dialogue.
All in all, "Skinner Steps Out" is bound to be one of the out- standing comedy productions of the present
season. For both Tryon and Merna Kennedy it is a new high water mark of achieve- ment, and gives assurance to both of them of reaching even greater heights in the future.
