FAMOUS COMEDY TEAM
SLIM SUMMERVILLE AND ZASU PITTS Hilarious comedy is again offered by Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts in their latest film, ‘ Love, Honour, and Oh, Baby,’ which opens at the Strand Theatre on Friday. Pickwick and Mrs Bardell fade into tho dim and dusty tapestries of the past when confronted by Slim and Zasu in ‘ Love, Honour, and Oh, Baby!’ “It is not only a humorous but an exceedingly clever piece of work,” says one critic. “ Slim, as an impecunious but latently brilliant lawyer, hedged from illustrious fame by the tenets of honour, has been engaged to Zasu for six years, when all of a sudden Fate throws an illicit but wonderful opportunity before the lovers of mulcting Ogden, the leading banker of seven States, of damages in a breach of promise case. Every line in this brilliant piece of foolery,”_ continues the critic, “ has three meanings, all of them applicable to all that happens and more. Flat life in New York is cleverly satirised to bring into the evidence all sorts of weird people. The end is partly wedding bolls and partly gnashing teeth.”
