Considering Harrison Gulch to be a typical "Poor Young Men's" camp, permit me to point out that out of 165 enrollees two-thirds of them are taking correspondence courses which are offered by the California State Department of Education. One-half of the enrolled body are interested in completing their high-school work. They will receive credit for work done in camp through the local high school...
...affairs. But Colonel Beck was the old Marshal's most intimate friend. As Foreign Minister he had been personally schooled in what the Marshal thought the "principles" of Polish foreign policy should be.

He resigned from the peace commission when they could not get them changed...

Those who missed the original "Topper" should neglect their education no longer, but whip right down to Loew's and have their fill of cigarettes being smoked in thin air and Roland Young reacting violently to invisible kicks. There are belly laughs a-plenty in the approved Hal Roach manner. Those who have been "Topper" may find that the humor of trick photography wanes after a while, for the essential humor of Thorne Smith's basic...
