Opera House NOW SHOWING: Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in "Meet the Ghosts.” Probablv the most outragiously comical film in which the incomparable Bud Abbott and Lou Costello have yet appeared is their latest. “Meet the Ghosts.” The picture guarantees to bring gales of laughter as the two funnymen try to escape from a maze of horror.
