“THE CHASER”

2 That bugaboo of big cprpora- ! tions, the ambulance chaser, is I featured in “The Chaser.” I The story, a comedic relation of lof the incidents attended upon the unique profession of chasing ambulances with both fun and profit in view, sustains laughter from the opening sequence. Romance enters the picture in the attrac- ? tion of Dennis O’Keefe, the am- | bulance chaser in person, to Ann I Morriss who, unknown to him, is 1 a spy in the pay of the Street j Railway Company, which has suf- | fered mostly from O’Keefe’s activ--1 ities. ! O’Keefe, who scored sensational|ly in “Bad Man of Brimstone” | and “Hold That Kiss,” is teamed | with a newcomer to the screen, 1 Miss Morriss, who was recruited | from the ranks of Little Theatre | players. Supporting players in--2 elude Lewis Stone as the drunken = doctor companion of O'Keefe, Nat I Pendleton, known as “Floppy” be- | cause of his penchant for flopping | in the wake of fast-moving ve- | hides, Henry O’Neill, Ruth Gil--5 lette and John Qualen.
