The filia It is based on the . ir Richman stage success Oi the same name in which Ina Claire starred. The story is as meaty as it is funny, and happily stays on this side of the “screwball” sort of screen fare. Coming to the screen from the wit-dipped pen of Vina Delmar, author of “Bad Girl," “The Awful Truth” depicts the marital mis- haps of the Warriners, played by Miss Dunne and Cary Grant. Wealthy and very much in love with each other, they nevertheless come to grief in the divorce courts when misunderstandings are am- plified with disastrous results. “The Awful Truth” belongs on anyone’s “must” list. It is bril- Jiant high comedy, played with dis- tinction and restraint, and never veers from its hilarious course. It is sumptuously mounted and was directed by Leo McCarey with su- perb timing and clever characiWi- vation. Miss Dunne and Joyce compton sing, and the star per- forms a mirth-provoking dance specialty with Ralph Bellamy. Out- standing in other important roles are Cecil Cunningham, as Miss Dunne’s tartar-tongued Aunt Patsy; Alexander D’Arcy, as a romantic foreign young vocal teacher and Ro- bert Allen, Esther Dale and Robert Warwick. Tonight only is featured “Carnival Queen,” starring Robert Wilcox, and Dorothea Kent. Highlighted by a colorful romance, dramatic action and amusing comedy sequences, the picture deals with the adventures that befall Dorothea Kent, as the THE FUNNIEST SHOW EVER M A DE—AND THAT'S THE TRUTH! s§9€3“Q§L Here is Rex Bell and his wife, the former Clara Bow who was famous as the “It” girl of films.

BING, HORSE C0-STARRED NEW MOVIE :“Sing You Sinners” Classed as Going to Be Well- Liked Production By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 27— You can put your money on*old Uncle Gus in the seventh for a sure thing. And you can lay it on the line for Bing Crosby's best and most un-Bingish film to date. It’s called “Sing You Sinners” and it gives Bing and Uncle Gus a |chance to go to town. | Uncle Gus is a race horse, which is a strange critter to gallop into!| a picture that's more about one interesting family’s troubles than it is about racing. But Uncle Gus has his place and its’ a big one, Racing is important, too, but it doesn’t really solve anything, which makes “Sing You Sinners” unique. This Beebe family of the story is as real as any that ever sat down to pot roast. There's Ma, who's played to a turn by Elizabeth Pat- terson. There's Mike, the kid brother | (Donald O'Connor, a new youngster from vaudeville), and Dave (Fred MacMurray) who wants to get mar- ried but can’t because he's the only breadwinner. And then there’s Joe. Joe’s a nice guy. Ma thinks the world of Joe. Ma does wish, though, that Joe would find something to do. So does Mike., So does Dave— and how! So does Martha (Ellen Drew), the girl Dave wants to mar- ry. And so, to make it unanimous, doe Joe, | { But Joe can’t make up his mind.| He has a lot of ideas but—as the filling station man says—he “ain’t the guy I'd look to for a business boom.” | Well, Joe (that's Bing) leaves home and pretty soon he sends for | Ma and Mike so Dave and Martha | get married.
