"MILLION DOLLAR LEGS."
NEW COMEDY FOR THE CIVIC. Periodically some picture is presented that deals with comedy in the happy style of bygone days, when comedians set out to provide pure fun without laughs at the expense of the gentler sex. Such a film is "Million Dollar Legs," the new release for to-morrow at the Civic Theatre. Boasting a splendid cast of laugh manufacturers —Jack Oakie, AV. C. Fields, Andy Clyde, Ben Turpin, Lyda Roberti, and Hank Mann —the film deals with hilarious adventures in the mythical republic of Klopstokia, where all the men are named George and all the women Angela, where the president is the champion weightlifter of the country, and where it is a crime not to kiss a pretty girl. Jack Oakie plays the part of a brush salesman who falls wildly in love with one of Klopstokia's prettiest Angelas, and in order to replenish the depleted treasury of the country organises a team to go to the Olympic Games. Despite many wild adventures and unlooked-for developments the team comes out on top, and Jack, Oakie wins his beautiful Angela.
