CHARLIE M'CARTHY AND SARAWAK PRINCESS
PLAYERS WHO SUPPORT W. C. FIELDS Hilarious comedy sequences deftly woven into a powerful story stamp Universal’s ‘You Can’t Cheat An Honest Man,’ as one of the year’s best screen offerings. Heading the cast of the picture’are W. C. Fields, Edgar Bergen, and Charlie M'Carthy. They are rated as Hollywood’s top comedy combination —and they certainly live up to their reputation! Highlighting the film, as might be suspected, is the bitter feud between Fields and his wooden nemesis, M'Carthy. Their battle reaches new; heights of potency and comedy, in * You Can’t Cheat An Honest.Man.’ One of the funniest sequences occur* when Charlie pops up with a black eye, instigated by Fields, and has to do ona of his acts in blackface so the discoloured orb will not be noticed.
The attractive Constance Moore, playing her first major role, gives a brilliant performance.
