CIVIC THEATRE
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello work their trusty magic of laugh production on old admirers and new ones alike in Universal's "The Naughty Nineties" which opens at the Civic Theatre to-morrow. This comedy drama of old-time Mississippi river steamboat days presents the famous funny men in separate dramatic roles, although Abbott is still the "straight man" and Costello on the receiving end of the most laughable joke routine that has been seen for many a day. Helping develop the web of the plot to which the fantastic adventures of Universal's famous laugh team are pinned, is a notable castt of players, inciuding Alan Cur'cls and Lois Collier as romantic leads, Rita Johnson and Joe Sawyer as "heavies," Henry Travers as thei old steamboat captain, and Sami McDaniel as the Negro cook.
