A talented dancer and rider, Jean Peers acquired many new accomplish- ments while playing opposite the versatile Joe Cook În "Rain or Shine,” Miss Peers enacts the role of a circus performer. She had plenty to learn and observe watching the star Joe Cook who is equally adept at Juggling, tight rope-walking singing, dancing and nerobaties.

"Rain or Shlure," a cireus picture, features many novelties never shown screen before. A tremendage- ly successful stage piny. It has been brought to the screen with many ad- ditions, which the unballed meilung of the serven makes possible.

A stellar est play supporting Toler. Among the, players are Louiso Howard, David Chasen, Alan Rascoe and Adolph Milar. Frank Capra

It has been brought to the scree on a lavish scale. Many of the -Inge xlars appear in it.
