Saturday, July 14, 10:30 a. m., The Castro, San Francisco

Max Davidson reluctantly takes his pretty young daughter (played by Marion Byron) shopping, where she flirts with handsome Gorden Elliott, "…who had played football in college, and studied law in his spare time." They wait for the shoe salesman, and Byron laughs at the holes in his socks, running off when he reciprocates. Leaving her package on the floor, Elliott opens it to discover a pair of lace bloomers, which he waves as he chases her down the street! Somehow, she invites the young man to her home for dinner, and her parents decide he might run off if he thinks they are crazy. They do a sensational job convincing him, not surprisingly, until Max finds out Elliott is his Boss's son! Add to this a perpetually eating beat cop played by Edgar Kennedy, a footrace down the sidewalk to catch the boy, and a car wreck finale with mom and dad in the rumble seat wearing togas! Byron and Davidson also paired in the sensationally funny Roach short, Pass the Gravy (1928).
