(\"Babe" Beery as the original pinch hitter.
A REAL, honesttogoodness baseball fan, like Uncle Joe, is apt to prefer Babe Ruth to Babe Beery. Uncle Joe, in fact, is sure to pull the old one ^ that as a slugger Beery is a darned good actor. But we can't all be so clever, can we? Some of us are going to like "Casey at the Bat" in spite and not because of the baseball atmosphere. If you ever heard "Casey at the Bat" recited by an expert, don't expect to see deWolf Hopper stalking about on the screen. They bought the famous title and wrote a story around it to suit themselves. "There is no joy in Mudville, Mighty Casey has struck out" becomes a farce laid in New York City more than a score of years ago — in the days of the Floradora Sextette and hansom cabs, with Casey "framed" on the day of the Big Game but vindicated in time to play the game over again — tomorrow. You don't see
the game but you assume that Casey does not strike out, so a happy ending is had in spite of Mr. Hopper's many recitations on the subject.
It seems too bad that "Casey at the Bat" isn't a better picture. It has its laughs, but they're not big-league laughs. Wallace Beery has been stealing other stars' pictures ever since I can remember. But when it comes to a starring feature all his own, he comes close to permitting Ford Sterling to walk away with the honors. Beery has made the smallest "bit" stand out more forcefully than his first stellar character. Sterling Holloway and Ford Steading are a couple of funny fellows when .they get together, and Zasu Pitts does her share. Well, who ever heard of a star stealing a picture from himself? It can't be done.
