Vagabond Lady

Dignity Always. That's the motto of the ritzy department store (haberdashery on the 3rd floor, stuffed shirts in the boardroom) owned by the Spear family -- and that's the comportment corporate scion John Spear (Reginald Denny) expects of his intended bride Josephine (Evelyn Venable), who toils in the store's accounting department. But dignity goes overboard when John's fun-loving brother Tony (Robert Young) arrives from a South Seas adventure and roils the familial and romantic waters. Frank Butler, scripter of several Laurel-and-Hardy romps and four Hope-and-Crosby Road movies, pens this "frothy, bubbling and sparkling farce" (Frank S. Nugent, The New York Times). Comedy Always!
