KRAZY WEEK LET YOURSELF CO ? J « ! At last . . . Hollywood has discovered a new style of hilarious entertainment. Absolutely# positively, completely... different. Barnum and Bailey made their fortune through presenting the world's most famous freaks. Hollywood has done itself proud and gone one better, by collecting an assortment of nuts, giving them the wackiest plot and the looniest dialogue that any film stars have ever had to act or utter. It is o whirl of utter madness the like of which you've never known before. On completion of the picture, the stars were heard to say, °We were shanghaied into it. We were crazy enough to do it, so maybe there are people crazy enough to enjoy it, for nothing is needed more today than good, hearty laughter. The lunatics at large include, "SNEAK, SNOOP, AND SNITCH," the girl with the freak-a-boo voice. Sweden had its Nightingale, Australia its Kookaburra/. England has its Lark, and we all know Mary Martin's mocking bird...but what this girl has got, ears have never heard the like. She's delirium personified. Then there s EDDIE BRACKEN of "The Fleet's In" fame, who actually plays the role< of an oppie, even feels the pip, and falls when he's ripe. Your old friend ROBERT BENCHLEY, who has already shown you how to eat and how to sleep, now shows you- how to cook, and how you'll laugh. MABEL PAIGE, as goofy a landlady as youll ever meet (she's lost her top teeth, and doesn't know where to find them). MARTHA O'DRISCOLL, as Dottle, just that, absolutely. SUSAN HAYWARD, A?If c 1 r -!y K-K-K-Krazy. WILLIAM HOLDEN, as Norman (not normal). PATSY KELLY, bringing laughs and headaches by special delivery. Put fhem all together and you have bedlam. Bring your nutcrackers. This is the kernel of all hilarity. Bring a stop-watch, the laughs come faster than each tick of the clock. Here s a course in lunacy that would send any asylum insane. The carpets will be especially padaca for the benefit of those who roll in the aisles. . A United Artists Release. (Both Approved for Universal Exhibition.) PLANS NOW OPEN AT THEATRE AND D.I.C.
