“THE UNEXPECTED FATHER.”

When two staunch favourites like Slim Summerville and Za s u Pitts get together imrone picture, that picture is '■fcoitnd to be a sensation of good, old-’ fashioned hilarious laughs— ho matter what else it' might life. The sparkling -comedy, “The Unexpected Father” is. all of that and infinitely 'mcire. Tlie Story, concerning a, young waif of the streets and a bachelor of new-found wealth ' who is frightened’ into adopting her on the eve oh his own wedding, 'is unique. When wry-faced SHm, 'the [ bachelor in’’ question, is toi’n between the ’arms of the baby, her wistful nureo,,; j and. this gold-digging hride of the' mJoiTow you feel that it truly is a shame -and you wish you could do something yourself to help the pathetic eituation. Slim, the memorable ‘ of “AH Quiet on the Western .Front’’ is the sortwho /always seem 6 to arouse -a rustle of .pleased ■ anticipation, in his audiences as soon a s he shows Ms-lace to them. 'His co-starring paTh ner in. fun,’. Miss’ 'Pitts, is every bit. as pleasing, and unless you see her in “The. Unexpected Father” you just hay e luotiseffn Zaisu:Pitts. And as for tiny Cora Sue Collins, the newest of Holly-. . wood’s child stars who plays the baby, off the -film—-she one of the most amazing combinations of talent, natural' acting! ability, aed beauty that the folks who discover these children havo presented, to .date. Thornton Freeland ' did a fine job with “The Unexpected Father." Dorothy Chrigty, Alison Skipworth,- Claude TyrelT'Davis and Grace .Uampton..'acC| all ideally dast, and the writers, .Dale von Every, /Robert Keith and -Max Lief did splendidly with the screen story. “The Unexpected Father” is emphatically recommended.
