When the show Is thrown into an uproar by the antics of Keaton and Durante in the produc tion the audience is sure to foln in the merriment with unrestrained laughter. The supporting cost is headed by Ruth Selwyn, who recently played with Marion Davies in "Five and Ten" and "Polly of the Circus." She is a sparkling light comedienno and handles her role of Fansy Peets, small-time chorus girl, in a lively humour. Thelma Todd, vivacious blonde, is particularly entertaining ns the alluring big-town vamp who causes plenty of heart-palpitations for Buster and "Schnozzle." Edward Sedgwick has again demonstrated his real ability at blending the elements of uereen comedy into strong farce presentation. He has worked with Keaton on "Doughboys" and "The Passionate Plumber" and tops all of his previous efforts in this new comedy.
