"Kiss Me Quick" is the title of Mr. Cook's opening comedy, and it is said to provide him with unlimited opportunity to display his mirth-provoking antics.

Mr. Cook, who is an Australian by birth, having been born in New South Wales, started at the age of 13 on his stage career. Following successful engagements in Australia, Cook went to London. It required only a few weeks for him to demonstrate to the public there that he had unusual entertaining ability, it is said, and he was engaged to tour the vaudeville theatres in Britain. Then followed an engagement in Paris with the Folies Bergere; and later at the Alhambra Theatre, London.

CLYDE COOK IN
KISS ME QUICK
(FOX)

Hysterical laughter followed the trend of this comedy when the Rose theatre, Chicago, offered it on its program. It was greeted after the manner that is will probably be met everywhere. "Kiss Me Quick" is a certain fun knockout of rare achievement in the comedy line. It taxes the amazing contortionist's abilities to an unbelievable limit and present him in a superlatively excellent accomplishment. It employs a number of animals, a dog, cat, mice and a comical donkey among them.

Between the kicks of the donkey and the batterings of a portly pugilistic sailor, Cook, in the part of a janitor, has one wild time. A wrestling match and an airplane escape from foes and a roller skating rink episode are high spots in one of the best comedies the screen has yet seen. William H. Crane is co-starred.
