BRITANNIA

“WIFE SAVERS” TO-NIGHT “Wife Savers,” the latest comedy produced by "Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, will be shown to-night at the Britannia Theatre. Louis Hozenozzle, played by Wallace Beery, Is the official biscuit maker of the small section of the American Army that is making the Swiss Alps safe for tourists at the time the World War ends. Raymond Hatton (Rodney Ramsbottom) is a second lieutenant in Beery’s outfit, and is the greatest hound for salutes in the army. He particularly likes to make Beery salute him as their positions were reversed in civilian life. Hatton was a waiter in a hash house where Beery lorded it as head waiter. The Swiss dames in the village where the boys are billeted are like women everywhere. They fall for the officers. Consequently Hatton has picked himself off a little playmate in Sally Blane (Colette); Beery hasn’t had much luck along that line, and has only been able to attract Germaine (Zazu Pitts), the village husband seeker.
