Tracy and Jack Oakie as the newest team of film funsters. The picture will be shown at the King's Theatre, Stratford, on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is also some wildly hilarious adventure in this romantic action drama of telephone “trouble shooters” and their sweethearts. Tracy and Oakie have the roles of two telephone linesmen in this 20th Century production. Their love affairs with Constance Cummings and Arline Judge,, a pair of wise-cracking telephone girls, provide some of the gayest sequences In this thrilling story. However, the . film has its serious moments too, with one of the girls being accused of murder, another caught in the ruins of the .earthquake at Long Beach, California, arid both boys sharing their adventures. Tracy. plays a hard-working “trouble shooter” who prefers danger and thrills to sitting around the parlour with a young lady—much to' the young lady’s annoyance, while Oakie, as his assistant, is described by his sweetheart as “a young man with strictly dishonourable intentions.” There are thrills, action, romance and an abundance of laughs in this Joseph M. Schenck-Darryl F. Zanuck presentation. * » *. * . Pat Paterson, the . blonde musical comedy star from England, confesses that her hobby is collecting toy animals.
