LAURIER, PORT CHALMERS
WILL ROGERS IN 1 HANDY ANDY ’ Will Rogers keeps tlie laughs rolling right along in ‘Handy And}’’ which commenced to-day at the Laurier, Port Chalmers. Without doubt, it is his funniest picture. Rogers portrays a druggist who wants to work in peace. But his wife, expertly, played by Peggy Wood, nags him to sell out and learn to phiy. And he does! First, he becomes a pigeon fancier, and lets his pets fly all over the house. Then he takes up golf with excruciatingly funny results. The climax comes, however, when his wife persuades him to take a trip to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. There Rogers rebels violently when his wife tries to make him dress in a fancy costume to attend the Comus ball. She attends with a gigolo and leave Rogers at home. Lonesome, he meets a druggist and the latter’s girl friend, Conchita Montenegro After a few cocktails with his new friends, Rogers is persuaded to attend the ball after all. Rogers appears in a Tnrzan costume and causes a sensation with his rough and tumble dance with Conchita. The dance ends in a free-for-all fight that lands Rogers m goal. Of course his wile is completely cured and pleads with him to return home to his old quiet life.
