Mae West: Adoring Esquires

The Australian fans of MAE WEST were eagerly anticipating her latest film in late August.
• • Mae West in "Every Day's a Holiday" • •

• • Mae West  goes back to her favourite period, the nineties of last century, for her latest film, "Every Day's a Holiday," a Paramount picture. It has a steady flow of Westian wit, such as "Let joy be unrefined," with a plot that gives the comedienne large scope. She has surrounded herself with an imposing array of male comedy talent, including Walter Catlett, Charles Butterworth, and Charles Winninger, and has included Edmund Lowe for romantic appeal, so that the film will not disappoint even the most critical of her admirers.
• • With a train of adoring esquires • •
• • Peaches O'Day (Mae West) comes to town in defiance of police orders to arrest her on sight, and successfully sells the Brooklyn Bridge to an unsuspecting foreigner, burgles a shop window, invades fashionable Rector's restaurant with a train of adoring esquires, and generally sets a lively pace for all concerned.
• • Handsome Captain McCarey (Edmund Lowe), of the police force, refrains from arresting her because he Is infatuated by her seductive charm. The comedy takes a new turn when Peaches, after an enforced absence from town, returns disguised as a French brunette, Mlle. Fifi, and takes a devastating revenge on her arch-enemy Inspector Quade (Lloyd Nolan).
