Miss Loy is Margit, owner of a fashionable New York dress shop, a woman too busy to have time for Jove or any other foolishness. Flor- ‘ence Rice is her younger sister, Irene, with suppressed desires to be a movie star. John Beal is Waldo, whom Miss Loy has chosen to marry her sister. ‘When Irene meets the fascinating artist she doesn’t want to marry Waldo any more, When the artist meets Margit he doesn’t want to bother with Irene any more. Poor Margit and Waldo conspire to straight- en things out but before the uproar- jous climax of the story is reached, everything is more complicated than ever. It ie all pure unadulterated farce. ‘The comedy is enriched by the smartest New York interiors that the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer designers have ever constructed for a picture, and the women will rave over the stun-| Mrs, Roosevelt Sees ning new designed for Miss A . Loy and Miss Rice by Adrian. TVA as Fine Thing Richard Thorpe, who directed the Robert Montgomery thriller hit, “Night Must Fall,” now shows his flair for comedy in directing the cur- rent laugh-maker. Together with the principals the cast of the new picture imeludes Jessie Ralph in another of her inimitable dowager roles, Edgar Kennedy as the dumb proprietor of a beer parlor, Sidney Toler, Mary Gor- don, Barnett Parker, Katherine Al- exander and Priscilla Lawson.

Before Your Thanksgiving Astaire Dances Into Love in Tune Comedy A sparkling love feud is amusingly Gepicted in Fred Astaire’s RKO Radio musical comedy, “A Damsel in Dis- tress,” at the Capital Wednesday. Joan Fontaine and Fred Astaire en- gage in the adventure, aided and abetted by George Burns, Gracie Al- len, Reginald Gardiner, Ray Noble, Constance Collier, Harry Watson and Montagu Love. The hectic and riotous love affair begins with a chance meeting in Lon- con at a time when Miss Fontaine is frantically trying to evade a dis- tasteful marriage to Ray Noble, her aunt's ineffectual step-son. Astaire, disgusted with the false publicity of his press agents, Burns and Allen, who paint him as a great lover, is at- tracted to the pretty damsel, follows her to her ancestral castle and by a clever scheme of a page boy, Harry ‘Watson, becomes involved in a rocky romance. ‘The spineless rival, the doting Le TY Any WHAT IN BLAZES IS FRECKLES ‘ GOT 'EM LINED vf UP FoR A FIELD GOAL ON THE 4 SO THIS IS THE WILLIE STEEN IS STOPPING, EH? y futher, an imperious aunt and the robust partisanship of the servants in the castle, all combine to make the romantic affair a happy tangle of love and laughter. Dances and songs by Astaire and by Burns and Allen enliven the proceedings. Sensational new routines, including a Drum Dance and Whisk Broom Dance, are uroaced by Astaire to Gershwin music, Muscle Shoals, Ala., Nov. 23—(?)— A bright future for the Tennessee val- | iey, economically and socially, was | visioned Monday by Mrs. Franklin D.
