Kd. Hmollk University of Oregon l lass of AS 'Chicken Every Sunday' Is Slow-Moving But Funny By FRANK CUBBING Chicken Every Sunday starr ing Celeste Holm and Dan Daily. Chicken Every Sunday is the humor-packed story Of ^ a wife’s search for security and her hus band's quest for money through get-rich quick schemes, Dan Dailey the husband, consistently attempts to make a killing on ond magnifi- cant deal which usually falls flat. The community benefits from his works, but his family is;forced to struggle along. The wife’s, Celeste Holm, idea of security is the possession of a home without a mortgage attached. To insure the fulfilling of her de sires, she takes in boarders and raises chickens and cows. An early marriage A^oiv. of hers was that for ea.-h new investment made by Dan, she would add another room to their home and thus be able to take in more boarders. Therefore the once - modest dwelling evolves into a near mansion. The household becomes over-run with roomers who all turn out to be characters in their own light and add further laughs to the stdry. The day that Celeste makes the final payment on the mortgage, Dan, who is desperate for funds to finance a copper mine, takes another pappr onj the home. The copper mine fails too, apd Celeste headH for a lawyer when she learns what Dan has dbne. All ends well, however, when in a iear> scene she realize* that Ex Aggie Assumes New Austin Post t j ’ r 1 • j Lt.
