MUNICIPAL THEATRE
DOUBLE FEATURE "My Wife's Family," described as the funniest film farce ever produced, screens at the Mutiieipal to-day. The plot of this film is concerned with the feud between Jack Gay and his interfering mother-in-law — in fact Arabella is the most complete mother-in-law ever achieved on stage or screen. She is suspieious, interfering, earcastic, narrow-minded, bossy and unbeautiful. She says and does all the things that have made mothers-in-law a stock joke. Her son-in-law, however, after his efforts to appease her ill-nature have failed and she has eompletely destroyed the happiness of his home, finally retaliates and devises terrible epithets for her. " Canal-boat, " "poisonous old catfish," "battle eruiser" and "sareastie as well as ugly," he barks at her. "They Met 3n a Taxi," Columbia'.s romantic comedy-drama, featuring Chestev Morris, Fay Wray, Lionel Stander and Eaymond Walburn, is the second feature. Direeted by Alfred E. Green, "They Met in a Taxi" tells of the diverting experiences of a pseudoheiress, and a Mauhattan cab driver, who has become the unwilling squire of , the lady in distress.
