Better efforts at laugh-producers have reached the screen from this organization, and "A Devilish Romeo" may be classed no higher than the average. But the average Sunshine is a reliable, satisfying filler for any program. Taking a henpecked husband, an indolent wife and a squalling baby, there is some household comedy in the beginning. Then the handsome villain, a former lover, comes along with a plot to destroy the domestic bliss of the home. He convinces the sheriff that hubby is a dangerous criminal who is "wanted for forgery, bootlegging and spitting on the sidewalk." But effeminate hubby finally gets good and sore, breaks out of prison and perits the comedy to end in a chase. The title-writer has had a lot of fun -- or perhaps it was trouble -- trying to find a pun for each title, with fair success. The fat husband has great ability in moving his ears and blowing smoke out of them. -- MATTHEW A.
