BEBE DANIELS COMEDY
A gparkling, rollicking comedy,
laid in the sociely atmosphere of

ng presence and humorous anties
of Bebe Daniels, and depending for
its thriills upon speedboat racing isj
what the Circle Theatre when “'[‘hvi

Just picture Bebe as a gawky=

gocial set falling in love with a
hand¢some millionaire, adveenturing
with a sixty-mile-an-hour ¢peed boat
and you'll begiin to realize the hi

of speed, spice and suspense. There
are enough funny gags and comedy
