BOB HOPE DRAFTS LAUGHS
IN NEW ARMY LIFE FILM
Notice to all citizens of Boone! Beginning
next Wednesday, if you soe
people walking around the streets
wearing a silly grin, don't be alarmed.
They're doing their patnotiie .
chit}. according to Boh Hope who i
lias joined the army in "Caught in
the Draft,' Paramount's all-out
comedy to strengthen the American
laugh, which opens Wednesday at
the Appalachian Theatre.
If you're the type that finds it
hard to laugh?don't worry?there's '
Hope for you. And with him is Dorothy
Lamour, an assurance that the
picture is ir. great shape.
Filled with a wealth of brand new
army gags delivered in the inimitjle
Hope fashion, the story describes
a rookie's life in the army Against i
a background of running-wild tanks,
comedy warfare, parachute drops
and catchy new tunes, the film
promises to be an even funnier show
than Bob's last comedy hit. "Road to
Zanzibar."
coo ana uorotny are assisted by
Lynne Overman (a scrooge) and Eddie
Bracken (a stooge) who do their
best to show the army a few new
tricks. Clarence Kolb becomes the
most irritated colonel in the whole
army when his daughter, Dorothy
campaigns to make her sweetheart a
hero.
The rookie gets his cookie, but not
before he proves himself a hero to
her father in a hair-raising episode
that takes place during some army
tvar games.
