Comedy in Real Life. Lovers of slapstick comedies delight in the sequence where the hero, villain, and almost all the leading characters join in pie-throWing or in playfully emptying pots of paint over their adversaries. In the "good old days" these films were "all the rage." Quite unwittingly.an ama teur painter played the principal role in just such a comic strip. With his wife heaping praise on his accomplishments the amateur painter decided to carry on with the good work, and lustily took hold of his stepladder to transfer it to another - v location—quite forgetting the facir y that his paint pot was still on top. The resultant mess over hiss head axid person can readily be imagined; but the quick application of soap and water —accompanied by some strenuous elbow work soon, brought him lo light and removed the dark brown veneer.
