Wayne PontiusLying as a fine art certainly calls for a stronghead, a stout heart, and a good memory, and Peter Pepperdine has all these qualifications to fit him for amagnificent liar. When his exasperated aunt, in aneffort to discipline him, starts on a summer tour ofPalestine without him, he rents her mansion, againsther expressed desire, to her dearest enemy, the motherof his ladylove, and masquerades as her butler, disguising his pal Bill as her gardener, and bluggsy, thedespised college grind who is supposed to tutor himall summer, as her housemaid. And all this madcapscheming not only to provide Peter and Bill with readycash but to enable them to discover whether their respective ladyloves are flirting with oldei and wealthier suitors. The boys soon put a crimp in the suitors’wooings, especially after turning Muggsy loose on themto vamp them in his housemaid’s disguise. And thenAunt Sarah spoils everything by suddenly canceling hertrip -and coming home. Once again, Peter, while teetering on the brink of comic catastrophe, manages to savehimself and Bill by quick thinking and masterly lying,invoking the aid of a spook and some fictitious robbersto cover up his tracks. A laughing hit, traveling atexpress speed. The female impersonation is .a riot.
