Hilarious Comedy
OpilE maddest feature comedy ever
made has just been finished and is said to set a new style in pictures. “Night Life of the. Gods” was funny enough when Thorne Smith published it as a book, but now that it has gone through the hands of the late Lowell Sherman, it has been made infinitely funnier. The classical gods who have always been statues of cold marble come to life on modern Broadway—this is the main theme—ah utterly impossible, insane dream of a fertile imagination. When Universal turned the script to Lowell Sherman they said, "Go ahead and for once in your life do any mad thing which comes into your mind. Break all movie and dramatic rules.” He did so, and the result is what is undoubtedly the comedy sensation of the year.
