“RUBBER HEELS”

COMING TO EVERYBODY’S AND TIVOLI

“Rubber Heels’* is the amusing tale of Homer _ Thrush. Homer secures a position in Tennyson Hawks’s detective agency, but doesn’t last long, as he soon finds things that aren’t quite right. In reality, Hawks is the leader of a gang of thieves who take jewellery while posing as detectives, in order to obtain the rewards offered for their return of such property as they steal! Later, Homer decides to do a bit of “free lancing.’* He contracts to guard a chest of valuable foreign crown jewels at a society function, and is getting along remarkably well until Tennyson and his friends get busy. Then —the fun begins, and doesn’t let up until Homer finds himself drifting down the St. Lawrence River with Niagara Falls waiting to receive him with open arms! Chester Conklin, featured, heads Wynn’s supporting company. Thelma Todd, Robert Andrews, Truly Shattock and John Harrington also enact important roles. Victor Herman directed. J. Clarkson Miller prepared the screen play. Chester Conklin will be one of the featured comedians in A 1 Christie’s production, “Tillie’s Punctured Romance,’’ which is to be produced as a Paramount-Christie special, by arrangement just concluded with the Paramount production department, whereby Conklin will be loaned to Christie for the picture. In addition to Conklin, the cast for the new version of the picture in which Marie Dressier, Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand and Mack Swain appeared some shears ago, will be Louise Brooks, W. C. Fields and Louise Fazenda.
