“THANK YOU JEEVES”

This typically Wodehouse story presents Arthur Treacher, who js cast as the perfect English butler tp an aristocratic family. The picture runs its light, gay course, developing into a hilarious finish.

David Niven is the well-to-do-master of the immaculate Jeeves, who is always seeking Adventure with a capital A, and whose extremely dangerous adr ventures in various parts of the world, usually connected with a fair lady, have at last worn put the incomparable Jeeves tp the point of giving a final notice. But hard on ifs heels arrives a still fairer lady—Virginia Field—and once again, the hall of romantic adventure flies fast and furiously, Virginia is very fair, really pretty, and jremarkably clever. The plot concerns itself with some wonderful plans, most important, and arduously sought by different government agents for their respective heads. Miss Field holds the said plans, and i.s pursued by several vjjlianous beings, determeind to rob her of them, Niven, Treacher, and Willie Best as a coloured saxophonist in violent comedy garments, engage in the hue and cry, but with the idea of helping Virginia. Lester Matthews, Colin Tapley and Douglas Walton —seen as Virginia’s brother, and who took the part of Parnley in “Mary of Scotland,” make up a competent cast.
