WALLACE BERRY AND RA YMOND HATTON FROLIC IN FILM

Doris Kenyon Will Be Seen in ‘Ladies at Play’ at Circle —Monte Blue, Indianapolis Star, to Play Lead at Colonial Next Week. “We’re In the Navy Now,” Paramount's second “sunny fade of the war” picture starring Wallace Beery and Raymond Hutton, who established themselves as an inimitable comedy team in “Behind the Front” will be the attraction at the Apollo next week. v

Starting In a prize ring, going to a naval training camp, from there to the deck of a troop transport, and, in turn, a small row boat, submarine, French dreadnaught, France, and then—all tho way back to where it started from, "We’re in the Navy IJIow," creates anew record in hilarity for future directors to aim at. Edward Sutherland, the man who directed “Behind the Front” has injected more gags in this picture than have ever been seen before. •Beery as Knockout Hajjsen a prize fighter, and Hatton as Stinky Smith,” his manager, are the greenest goofy -sobs who ever donned the naval blue. During the memorable days of 1917 they get into the Navy through peculiar, and to them, wholly unlooked for circumstances. Before they are consciously aware of their destination they are on their way over seas. Their dogged disregard and ignorance of regulations on board the transport immerses them in round after round of difficulties. Their experiences with Madelyn Phillips a fascinating young woman; their adventures in the mine zone, and finally, when the convoy is attacked, the manner in which their ship is saved through an act of stupidity on the part of the pair, supplies no end of uproarious fun. Chester Conklin, Tom Kennedy, Donald Keith, Lorraine Eason, Joseph W. Girard and Max Kennedy are in the cast. Monte Brice wrote the story. A newlyweds comedy, ‘ l Snookums Buggy Ride,” the Fox News Weekly, and, returning after an absence of several weeks, Emil Seidel and his orchestra, will be other program features. -I- -I- -!- “LADIES AT PLAY” DUE AT THE CIRCLE Doris Kenyon and Lloyd Hughes come to the Circle tomorrow in "Ladles at Play," the film adaptation of Sam Janney’s stage play, “Tho Desperate Woman.” The story concerns Ann Harper, to whom a fortune of $6,000,000 is bequeathe*!, subject to a proviso that she must marry, within a certain period, a man approved by her disinherited, disgruntled and straightlaced maiden aunts. The aunts attempt to make things difficult for her, and she retaliates with a daring counter-plot that nearly got them all into serious trouble. She finally obtains their reluctant consent to her marriage by offere
