Myrna Loy are enacting one of the funniest comedies ever screened, in tthe new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pic- ture, “Petticoat Fever,” now at the Paramount Theatre. “Petticoat Fever” is the first pic- ture to bring together Montgomery and Miss Loy since their memorable vehicle, “When Ladies Meet.” Each hhas gone far in personal popularity since that time and improved vastly in acting technique. The funniest sequence in the new picture and, no doubt one of the fun- miest ever screened, is the party given by Montgomery for his two guests— tthe party for which only he and Miss Loy have the courageous flair to don evening clothes while an Arctic bliz- Gard rages outside.

Miss Robson, playing the most de- lightfully humorous part in her screen career, is seen as this eccentric, crab- bed old maid, whose avaricious rela- tives, in an attempt to share her money, have inspired a hearing into her sanity. Rendered unconscious in @ runaway accident, Miss Robson is taken by Henry Armetta’s ‘three adopted sons to the basement flat where they live with the Italian and his daughter, and in the front room of which is Armetta’s barber shop.

The newspaper sen- sation over her supposed kidnaping, however, keeps the entire family in @ continual jittery state, and the situation becomes deadly serious when her presence is discovered by gang- sters and she is actually kidnaped. How the mystery is finally solvea and the eccentric Miss Baxter enters on the happiest period of her life, bring to @ climax a screen story filled with delicious humor, tense drama and af- fecting human touches, Miss Robson's supporting cast in- cludes, in addition to Armetta, many Popular screen players such as Frankie Darro, Charlotte Henry, Wil- liam Benedict, Billy Burrud, Herman Bing, Hedda Hopper, Laurence Grant and John Miljan, First dipped in a weak solution of caustic soda and then suspended with @ weight just sufficient to keep it taut, @ long human hair will foretell vesber panies is growing longer r wet, contrac: fe ‘weather conditions, ee ae, Dr. Boris Sokoloff, Russian scien- tist, once said that any girl can marry any man in the world by re- peating often to him the four woras: “You are so wonderful.” Terns, or sea swallows, are said to have a greater “homing sense” than pigeons.
