THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1938. Sally Spurns Ronmanric Heroes Sally Rand Interviewed during a personal appearance in New York, Sally Rand, fan dancer extraordinary, confided that her “ideal man” was not modeled on the types popular in romantic roles on the screen but would resemble some one quite different from Clark Gable, Robert Taylor or their like. She opined that a mal. and qualities of Dr. Allan Dafoe, Lewis Stone, Col who combined the traits Charles Lind- bergh and Heywood Broun would come pretty close to her idea of a perfect husband, Coons Finds Light Comedy A Seasonable Laugh Tonic By ROBBIN COO HOLLYWOOD, June 2. June Evans is a dressmaker's clerk, Tom- my Bradford a travel bureau em- ploye. Each in the course of duty is present at the fashionable wed- ding of Nadine Piermont, and when they meet, each thinks the other is “high society.” “Hold That Kiss” is the detailing of what springs from this familiar plot beginning, and it is a light comedy which audiences should find delightful, dressed smartly and alternating in humor from chuckles The picture, directed by Edwin L. Marin, is rich in comic situa- tion and incident, and its trusty plot skeleton is nicely enough pad- ded with freshness that it seldom rattles. Part of its ingratiating quality may be due to its back-to- normal presentation of family life— June’s family is like a 1ot of others, not merely a weird assortment of happy nitwi assembled for riding on the “insane comey” cycle. Another asset is that “Hold That Kiss” is enacted by likeable people —the fetching Maureen O'Sullivan, the sturdy Dennis O'’Keefe (until “Bad Man of Brimstone” an extra) in the romantic roles, and a sup- porting cast which shines individ- ually without throwing the produc- tion off balance. Mickey Rooney as the clarinet-playing kid brother does the impossible with his face, gets a large share of the howls. George Barbier, Jessie Ralph, Ed- ward S. Brophy, Fay Holden, Frank Albertson, Phillip Terry, Barnett Parker are others. A Popular “Meller” “Crime School” is equally tailored to popular taste along melodramatic lines — a juvenile version of the ever popular prison picture. Where Dead End” left off “Crime School’ takes up the careers of a similar group of young toughies, here play- ed by odd coincidence by the same stage and movie gang who appeared in “Dead End.” The boys land in a reformatory, where Humphrey Bogart, the gang- ster of “Dead End,” takes on shin- ing armor as a militant champion of right ways to effect reform, are only two sequences of good | Oven-fresh every day!

Leo Gorc as toughest of the toughies, has the most striking role among the boys, but all are proficient in tossing street lingo, all lend realism. New- comer Gale Page is attractive and interesting.
