AT GAYBLE THEATER

Fun is fun and Joe E. Brown is demonstrating at Gayble Theater at North Judson, starting Sunday, that he is one of the world’s funniest. As an officer of the law in Columbia’s ‘‘Beware Spooks,” the mammoth mawed mountebank provides an outstanding performance in an exceptionally well written story. Brown is introduced as a rookie cop, son of a famous father whose record has become traditional on the force. Because of kindliness, stupidity and carelessness, he becomes the scapet goat in a series of situations and transferred to every outlying precinct in New York city. The escape of a

desperate criminal, Brown’s dismissal, financial stringencies, Coney Island honeymoon, and finally coming face to face with the croop, ends up this funniest of pictures.
