At Leeston
"WAY OUT WEST" TO-MORROW
Laurel and Hardy go wild and woolly in their first western—the feature-length comedy, "Way Out
West."
It might be described as the "Daze of the Gay 90's" as the inimitable antics and laughter-getting proclivities of the international lean and fat duo are unreeled in those thrilling and glamorous pioneer days:
As "tenderheel" desert prospectors going to town for a good deed in delivering a deed of a gold mine to the daughter of a dead miner, Laurel and Hardy commit so many misdeeds that it was surprising, indeed, that they were not shot in all the adventures they encountered. But they blunder their way to ultimate success in foiling the honky tonk queen, the scheming proprietor, the sheriff and all the tough hombres.
"Way out West" is presented for laughs, and gets them to the tune of the music and songs that were so popular at the turn of the century. Bright new gags are topped only when Laurel and Hardy swing into a dance and burst forth in song in uproariously humorous sequences.
