He is played by Preston Foster, who created this character on the screen in “The Westland Case.” Fost simply grand in the part, s Frank Jenks in the role of Crane's clownish assistant, Doc Williams.

Directed Cast: Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer, Maria Ous- Lee Bowman, Astrid Allwyn, Maurice Moscovich. by Leo McCa penskaya, March 15:—Put this one down right now contenders for the Academy awards of 1939—and, tantly, for one of your most satisfactory movie evenings. tory of a smart, disillusioned, brittle girl who isn't, itly say. all she might be. It's the story of a smart, i ne'er-do-well who lives by his charms and is even less what he might be. It's the story of the meeting of these two on shipboard, of ant interest that grows, inevitably and natur- ally, into a sublime, regenerative devotion. ¢ In the local parlance, “Love Affair” is a “director’s picture.” McCarey’s mark is on it from first to last, and it is as great in its distinctive fashion as was the same young man’s “Make Way for Tomorrow” and “The Awful Truth.” “Love Affair” has lightness and comedy, and it has sincere emotion and drama, all woven together convincingly and delight- fully. Beginning as feather-light comedy, it progresses subtly and imaginatively story of the spirit, and that overtone of spiritual exaltation is maintained to the final “smash” sequence with never a sacrifice of human values or naturalness. MeCarey takes his time and points up the essentials of his story with a leisurely sureness. (I' refer especially to the sequences of Boyer and Dunne’s visit to the island home of the hero’s grandmother, beautifully played by Miss Ouspenskaya. These scenes, so vital to- the future developments of the characters, are the picture’s most memorable.) Miss Dunne is at her radiant best in the assignment, and Boyer is equally happy—but ii is taking nothing from either to repeat that the picture is still, perhaps all the more, McCarey's. “Love Affair” is intelligent entertainment with a warm and D R e HOLLYWOOD, Cal., among more hmx ) It's as we qua disillusion the into a 4 cherchez la femme? but yes, Monsieur, we know where 1o find her.

It's so subtly suggested that you are free, if you insist, to overlook that phase of the story entirely— at least until you're cheering so heartily that you jolly well don’t care! “The Spirit of Culver.” Screenplay by Whitney Bolton and Nathaniel West.

Bartholomew is his room-mate. Cooper, a scholarship winner, has a father he believes was Killed in the World War. The father (Hull returns, a vietim of shellshock instead of glorious death. The story unfolds with censiderable suspense, and the note of Americanism—so popular in the current film product—is dominant.

Third (and possibly last) of 20th’s “sports” concerns the prizefight game—a kid (Martin) who gets into the racket by chance and gets the swell-head over a string of easy, framed victories.
