THREE WISE FOOLS Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan Three very human and utterly charming elderly gentlemen dominate this excellent picture. Claude Gillingwater, Alec Francis and William H. Crane make of THREE WISE FOOLS a mirth-inspiring, workmanlike adaptation of the stage comedy of the same name. A convict vendetta with a smashing jailbreak lends thrills to the plot. The three doddering old men suddenly have a ward thrust upon them. The ward, Eleanor Boardman, routs them out of the ruts into which they have fallen, with amusing results. There is a pleasant love-interest, between Eleanor Boardman and William Haines, a nicelooking juvenile who handles his first real part very capably. The picture abounds in snappy titles and humorous situations.
