vides his share of the complica
tions. Anxious to restore him
self to his former wife's good
graces, equally anxious to cap
ture the fugitive whom he sus
pects she is hiding. Pallette's
prescence on the scene lends tel
ling effectiveness to a comedy of
mitrAffpnnslv humorous conse-1
quences. In addition, Alan Mar
shal lends further humor to the
film, in his role as the elegant
young publisher of a newspaper.
Eager to replace Pallette in Miss
Young's affections, he has cen
tered all the journalistic fire he
can upon the unhappy husband.
Shooting him is a good idea, and
Marshal is in hearty accord with
it until he discovers that Miss
Young is hiding the would-be
assassin!
Douglas, caught between these
cross-fires of romance and of
jealousy, is said to provide a
brilliant and delightful charac
terization as the fugitive who
hid from the law in a lady's
boudoir and stayed not only
for breakfast but for lunch, tea,
dinner, breakfast and a few
other meals!
