Gangster Problem Ludicrously Attacked

ZASU PITTS IN “SHE GETS HER

(Kosy: Now Screening.) Zasu Pitts and Hugh O'Connell are co-starred in “She Gets Her Man” which attacks the gangster problem with tongue In cheek, and furnishes a solution of the wffifle problem that is as startling as it ls humourous. As Esmeralda, tho accidental heroins of tho story, tho fiuttery Miss Pitts has never been seen to better advantage. Hugh O’Connell, noted stage comedian who has becomo her new team-mate, compliments her lackadaisical humour in grand style, and goes to make up a comedy duo that is n sure guarantee of laughs. Others who add greatly to the delightful comedy of the picture are Helen Twelvetrces (who emerges with au entirely new personality), Lueien Littlefield, Eddie Bropby, Warren Hvmer, Gertrude Astor and Bert Gordon. The story presents Miss Pitts as tho rmall-towu sweetheart of Littlefield, owner of the Bou Ton lunch room in Blainville, Illinois, and hailed as “ta» bravest woman in America” when sht unwittingly foils a bank robbery. Taken ou a lecture tour by O’Connell, a press agent, and attended by Miss Twelvetreen, his fiancee, Miss Pitta j* finally kidnapped ami comes in direct contact with tho very gangsters whose daily work sho interrupted in tho smalltown bank. The startling and hilarious climax is too utterly delicious Vi be revealed.
