Florence Reed, the stage star,| portrays “the eccentric Miss Hav- |isham, deserted on her wedding day and living in darknes® ever after. George Breakston and Anne Howard play Pip and Estella as children, and Phillips Holmes and Jane Wyatt take the roles of adults. Alan Hale offers a kindly picture of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith. These lives and many others are interwoven in events and coinci- dences almost to the point of ex- cessive plottiness, necessitating some narration to tie the ends to- gether—but this also is true to Dickens. In contrast to the sentiment and quaintness of the Dickens tale is ‘‘The Gay Divorcee,” smartly mod- ern and musical, co-starring Fred Astaire of the restless feet and Ginger Rogers, with the omnipres~ ent Edward Everett Horton teamed with Alice Brady for the sake of | further comedy. A Dancing Star The sereen has never had a danc- ing star, and that makes Astaire first in the field. “The Gay Di~ vorcee,” a tale about a girl (Gin- ger Rogers) who wants to get a divorce and in the process falls in love with a professional dancer (Astaire), reveals the stage star as a wizard of taps and rhythm, with a likeable grin and an unselfcon- scious lack of acting finesse which is in itself ingratiating. The “flash” number — billed as successor to the “carioca” of “Fly- ing Down to Rio"—is “The Conti- nental,” but many give this sec- ond place to the picture’s more graceful and lilting “Night and Day, Day and Night,” danced by Mine Trio Wallops Signal Lads by 1602 to 1376 Decision Sparked by the sensational bowl- ing of M.
