Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllll! mm By STANLEY EICHELBALM It doesn't take much ingenuity to predict almost all of the situation comedy that rains down on James Stewart in the new film, "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation," which opened yesterday at the Fox and Geneva Drive-In. From the very first scene, wgj know that everything will be frustration and panic, as Stewart a griping St. Louis banker and father of four sets off with his brood for a month-long holiday in a rented beachfront house on the Pacific Coast.

Anyone who has seen these family pictures (from "Andy Hardy" to "Blondie and or those coz-ily domestic TV serials will certainly guess that papa is in for a hard time of it; pretty, red-haired mama (Maureen O'Hara) has the patience of a saint; that it was a mistake to invite two married daughters (with husbands and grandchildren); and that the summer house will turn-out to be a dud, with faulty than accomplishes Us purpose, a better, more original Job might have been done, particularly with such old pros on hand at Stewart and Miss O'Hara (who God bless her still doesn't look like a grandmother); and such entertaining types present as Reginald Gardiner, as a suave, older bachelor with a yen for mama; and Maria Wilson, as a hypocrite teetotaler who causes all torts of naked confusion. THE SCRIPT Nunnally Johnson'i script (based on tha novel by Edward Streeter, an old-hand with domestic turmoil) follows all the traditional patterns for household slapstick, with the exception that Hobbs' children are especially disagreeable types. The 14-year-old daughter (Laurl Peters), who has braces on her teeth, thlnki her parents are "insecure and positively weird" and never utters a civil word until Fabian comes along to sweep her off her feet.

NO REST We also know that papa, who needs the rest more than anyone else, will not have a moment'i peace; that everything he touches will explode; and that the sailboat in which he takes his teenage son for a rid will get lost at sea. In this way, producer Jerry Wald and director Henry Koster have given us a movie for warm-weather relaxation one that will appeal to the widest possible age bracket and provide the kind of laughs that have been popular since the Keystone Cops.
