“THE CUCKOOS” TOMORROW Tonight will see the finish of “Ladies Love Brutes,” starring George Bancroft. From tomorrow “The Cuckoos” will be transferred from the Civic Theatre, where it met with instant favour. Two comedians, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, head the all-star cast. They will be remembered for their clever antics in “Rio Rita.” Dorothy Lee, who also played in “Rio Rita,” is again teamed with "Wheeler and Woolsey, and scores with her inimitable singing and dancing. Jobyna Howland. six foot comedienne from Broadway.’ makes her talking picture debut in “The Cuckoos.” She; is said to be a ludicrously funny foil for Wheeler and Woolsey. June Clyde ancl Hugh Trevor furnish the romantic love interest in a charming manner. Taken from the stage play, “The Ramblers,” the picture definitely carries the plot of an exciting story in a hilarious manner. Comedy predominates over the musical and dancing episodes, though comedy and music hold full sway through the production. The show is a distinct: departure from the conventional, offering a well-knit story which serves as a background for the antics of the maddest pair of comics, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, who won picture fame in “Rio Rita.”
