Almost every situation brought chuckles or riotous laughs, while the romantic angle won the sympathy of the audience when it could stop laughing long enough. The story concerns the efforts of two girl chiselers who are process servers for an attorney specializing in breach of promise cases. The romance is between one of. the girl chiselers and a wealthy young man dressed in a chauffeur’s uniform, with whom she falls in love while strolling in the park. The love is mutual although neither knows who the other is, nor that the gir] is trying to serve a subpoena on the man in a breach of promise case. The two girls get into the man’s house on a subterfuge, but he escapes by the back door and goes to his yacht for a eruise until the matter has blown over. But he does not know of the persistence of the two process sharks who follow in a motor boat to the yacht. The girl in love with the man leaps overboard near the yacht and yells for help. Things move fast and furious then to an utterly astonishing climax. Joan Blondell, Gienda Farrell and Hugh Herbert, that inimitable trio of comedians, who have often played together, brought gales of laughter in “Traveling — Saleslady,” “Kansas City Princess,’ “Havana Widows” and other pictures, head the cast of “We're In The Money.” Miss Blondell and Miss Farrell have the roles of the unbeatable process servers, who work for the shyster lawyer, Hugh Herbert. Never has Miss Blondell been more radiant or more beautiful. She bubbles over with spontaneous good spirits. Glenda Farrell, the uneonditional gold digger of all time, is the same wise cracking Glenda, although she seems even to outdo her excellent performances. Hugh Herbert, who forgets 6 The gentleman playing with the toys is Hugh Herbert, the No. 1 comedian of the new Joan Blon dell-Glenda Farrell hit, “We're In The Money,” now at the Pier Pal NS ANE Theatre.

Ross Alexander is excellent in his role of the youthful rich man, who is trying to get out of a breach of promise suit because he has fallen in love with Miss Blondell, as also is Hobart Cavanaugh as a serious minded assistant to Herbert. Phil Regan, formerly the Radio Cop, sings a catchy air by Allie Wrubel and Mort Dixon. Man Mountain Dean and Chief Little Wolf stage a unique wrestling bout, which is hilariously funny.
