© It looks very dark for Bob until his brokerage partners venture that Honest Abe Hope can’t always tell the truth as he says he can. Get © §t? He bets them that 10 grand. That means that when he spends a week-end on Uncle Arnold’s house . boat, that he must tell the guests Just what he thinks of them, should : they ask. In fact, he is forced to tell Catherine Doucet that she’d have to wear a paper sack over her head to pass for 30. Bit of Slapstick - And that’s not all. Poor Hope ‘can’t tell Paulette why he’s saying . such things because one of the conditions of the wager is that it must be kept a secret. There is some slapstick involved 4n all this—Hope running about in a feathery negligee, for instance— * and there are some laughs. Make . no mistake about that. Mr. Hope is a first-rate comedian and it’s only ' ‘disappointing to see him below par. The cast, including Leif Erickson, Helen Vinson, Clarence Kolb, Willie . Best and Leon Belasco, does its best, but it was rather tough going.

“They are the sounds you are oon. conscious of on a’ voyage, the you never forget—the tapping of the reef points, for instance, on a oe, night; the slow creak of the Spars, the low singing of the guys, the lazy flap of the sails, and the little lapping sounds of the water

It is ‘particularly noteworthy for the fine performance of Miss Bergman and the photography.
