What It’s All About
CAST as a young woman who installs tails on candy dogs and a young man who puts tail-lights on automobiles who are very, very lonesome, ZaSu Pitts and Hugh O'Connell furnish the hilarious comedy and the tender pathos for Universal's tale of a Coney Island romance, "The Affair of Susan." This production all Hollywood is watching to see how Universal has handled dialogue, pantomime and music.
The story finds ZaSu grieving because all the other tail installers in the candy factory have young men, but putting on a brave front. At the same time the shy O'Connell, former New York stage star, who hasn't had a date for years, pretends to his dating companions that he is in the throes of a romance with an heiress.
Hugh, chronically guilty of gross but harmless exaggerations, goes to Coney Island to forget his lonesome feeling, and ZaSu does the same thing. They finally meet, in spite of the highly intoxicated interference of comic Walter Catlett. Love burgeon.' on a roller coaster, goes into full bloom on the shoot-the-chutes and then, without knowing each others' names, they are separated by an accident. Hilarious and yet touching incidents occur as they try to locate each other once more . . . and finally do so under amazing circumstances.
Interference catches up with the “ Love Birds ” again.
Here's where Catlett loses an eye, but Hugh should icorry.
Even the scenic railway isn’t sacred to Catlett.
