EVERYBODY’S
“RUBBER TYRES” Intimate glimpses into the life of the “tin can tourists” are provided by Alan Hale, director of “Rubber Tyres,” featuring Bessie Love and Harrison Ford, which is coming to Everybody’s Theatre to-night. This human comedy of the autocamp, which is adapted for the screen from the story* by Frank Condon, chronicles in a highly amusing vein, the motor jaunt of a typical New York family via the tourist camps. Miss Love, as Mary Stacks, the heroine, after losing her job in the city*, trades her household belongings for an automobile of ancient vintage, and motors west with her independent family. En route she meets the hero, portrayed by Harrison Ford, and the experiences encountered during the trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific, furnish laughs galore. The family composed of an indolent Irish father, a veritable lazy’ bones, the mother and Mary’s brother never agree on any subject, save that they all hope to reach the run-down farm in California which is to be sold for delinquent taxes. “Rubber Tyres” was filmed during a trip of several thousand miles, with all of the scenes taken in various auto, camps at which the family stopped.
