The Rolin-Pathé studio has an amusement department which handles the entertainments for the different benefits and shows that are all the go since the United States has gone into this war - and whenever a committee asks for some of the performers to appear, there are the following stunts to choose from:
The Harold Lloyd jazz band; Harry Burns, world's champion bag puncher (retired); syncopated dancing by Harold Lloyd and Bebe Daniels; monologues and songs by Harry Pollard; the same by Gus Leonard, Billy Fay, Bud Jamison, the Rolin-Pathé quartet of singers; and a number of laugh-provoking sketches, classic dancing and a good comedy made by the Rolin-Pathe company to close the show.
The performance is under the supervision of Hal E. Roach, the director-general of the company, which means that nothing, from the smallest detail, is overlooked. The show is complete from curtain to curtain.
