Mcrrv Comedy Is Slated At The Islander
J J
Mervyn Leßov’s merry trans
continental comedy, "Without Re
servations,” with Claudette Col
bert and John Wayne giving two
of their finest portrayals, comes to
the Islander Drive-In Theater on
Sunday. This RKO Radio re-release
was produced by Jesse L. Lasky
with a cast which features Don
DeFcre, Anne Triola, Phil Brown,
Frank Publia. Thurston Hall, Do
na Drake and Miss Louella Par
sons.
The story revolves around the
adventures of a novelist, played by
Miss Colbert, while on a trip to
Hollywood from New York in con-
nection with the filming of her
novel. On the train she strikes up
an acquaintance with two Marine
Flying Crops officers, played by
Wayne and DeFore. As she talks
to Wayne, she becomes convinced
that he would be ideal for the male
lead in the picture.
The complications begin in Chi
cago, when she discovers the Ma
rinos have tickets for another train
to California, and she boards it
without luggage or reservation, ra
ther than lose sight of Wayne.
