“King of the Castle” Is Comedy Laden
SIX STARS COMBINE IN MODERN EARCE (Kosy: Screening To-day). A great team of no less than six star comedians dispense tile limitless laughs in this nappy-go-iuchy story of young Monty King (Billy Milton), who inherits a castle and can’t prove it. The story opens with Monty accidentally upsetting a pretty girl’s pnnt, and when he tries to rescue her from a “watering grave” in three feet of muddy water, she calls him a “sap” and wades ashore by herself. However, this incident was to prove the turning point in the career of this young King. For the lady of the lake (Juno Clyde) is none other than Marilyn Bean, daughter of the millionaire American representative of the firm for which Monty works. “Pop” Bean, unfortunately, has other plans for a son-in-law, in the person of Sir Percival Trellis, Monty’s boss. Marilyn, however, is a young lady with a mind of her own, and young King is very much on her mind at present.
Sir Percival and “Old Bean” decide to get rid of Monty by sending him to America, but he gets wise to their plot and “resigns.” Then begins a riotous battle of wits and nit-wits that will keep you continuously in roars of laughter.
