Lively Action In
| "Love Over Night"
'< Plenty of hilarious action takes
place in "Love Over Night," Rod La
Roeque's new star comedy now at
the Rig theater. La Roeque is seen
at> a subway worker, Jeanette Loll'
• as a pretty fortune hunter and Torn
Kennedy as a stupid detective.
A particularly funny sequence
finds Kennedy pursuing the other
principals through the concessions
at Coney Island, whilst comedy and
thrills are nicely apportioned in a
subway train holdup and the kid-
naping of a bride.
Hector Tttrnbull, producer of
"Hold 'Em, Yale," a recent Rod La!
Rocque star vehicle which gave the
star plenty of fun making opportu-
nities, also produced "Love Over |
Night." All the fun makers of that
aggregation are reunited in this one,
which is acclaimed by those who
have seen It as a "hundred per cent"
comedy melodrama.
