RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“LET IT RAIN” In “Let It Rain,” Douglas McLean, as Riley, leader of the marines on a battleship, is sentenced by his commander to shake hands with Kelly, a sailor, every time they meet. While this sounds like a mild punishment for some of the battles they’ve fought, it really has its disadvantages. For instance, both men fall in love with the same girl. One day they go ashore, but Riley gets there first and takes her to an amusement park. He tells the lady of his
love and they are about to embrace when the nemesis comes along and insists on shaking hands for fifteen long minutes. In addition to laughs of this sort, “Let It Rain” has an honest-to-goodness story. We see a new phase of marine duty, the guarding of the mails. In fact, some of the picture’s funniest and most exciting episodes take place on a runaway mail train, the sole occupants of which are “Let It Rain,” a wounded friend, his girl and three bandits. Shirley Mason plays the female role.
