Lovers of that master of humorists, Will Rogers, will find an evening of mirthful entertainment in "The County Chairman," current feature at the University Theater. Written by George Ade, this proved to be on the most popular plays in the history of the American stage. In the film version, Will Rogers is cast in a difficult role which only he could have played with the necessary human touch.

Back in the days when all was fair in politics as well as love and war, he appears as the crafty political campaign manager, a master in the art of vote-getting, crafty in battling his opponents, but magnanimous enough to subordinate political victory to advancing the love of two young sweethearts.

With its setting in a small Wyoming town of the early 1900's, the story centers around the difficult situation of a young man named Ben Harvey, chosen as a dark horse candidate to compete for prosecuting attorney against the pompous Judge Rigby (Berton Churchill), father of the girl with whom he is in love. The ensuing contest results in a break-up of the love affair, leaving the audience in suspense as to the outcome. But in the end the difficulty is patched up in an unexpected but delightful manner. The antics of Stepin Fetchit add considerably to the humor of the picture throughout.

In the co-feature on the program, "Enter Madame," Elissa Landi is starred as the temperamental opera singer in a rather uninteresting plot. It's the old story of career versus love affair, in which Cary Grant, her husband, finally tires of the hysterical eccentricity of his artist wife. Everything turns out happily in the end, of course, when the wife discovers the cause of the trouble and forestalls a divorce though a change of attitude.

Although the picture is dull in most parts, considerable laughter was occasioned among the audience when the half brother of the opera singer, an insignificant and stupid character, cleared up the situation by casually remarking that he had come from New Haven.
