S. intervention. The Sergeants. There were the Army's non-commissioned officers, on a spree. They had seen last month how neatly their superior officers led by Col.

International House (Paramount). Planned a year ago as a parody of Grand Hotel, later rearranged as a starring vehicle for Peggy Hopkins Joyce, this picture emerges finally as a private spree for W. C. Fields. He is a completely demented aviator who, while trying to circumnavigate the globe in an autogiro which contains a small sedan in its fuselage, lands on the roof of a hotel...
