EVERYBODY’S

“HEY! HEY! BOY” Almost every sort of wheeled conveyance, from freight cars to flivvers, furnish JEioot Gibson with the means v of transportation in

his latest and funniest comedythriller, “Hey! Hey! Boy,” a UniversalJewel to be shown to-morrow at Everybody’s Theatre. Of course, Gibson also uses his more familiar and accustomed means of getting over the ground, in the saddle of his trusty

horse, but you will also see him “riding the rods,” and hugging the wheel of a careening Ford in hot pursuit of the villain who steals the girl, bumping, skidding and slewing over the rocky plains of a Western ranch. The story of “Hey! Hey! Boy,” from the pen of Lynn Reynolds, who also wrote the scenario and directed the picture, is laid in a strange Western locale, an odd mixture of the West that was and the West that is. Into the heart of a flaming feud between neighbouring cattle barons, Hoot Gibson is propelled via the boot end of an unsympathetic brakeman. From that point on this versatile screen artist is given ample opportunity to exhibit his fami iarity with a Fordesque bucking bronch, as well as the legitimate fourlegged cayuse. Accompanying Gibson in the cast or the picture are Kathleen Key, “Slim Summerville, Clarke Comstock, TV heeler Oaltman, Monte Montague, Kick Cogley. Jim Corey and Milla Davenport.
