Takes Tools Along Hollywood Sights And Sounds 8 Robbia Coom “Three Smart Girls Grow Up.” Screenplay by Bruce Manning and Felix Jackson. Directed by Henry Koster. Cast: Deanna Dur- bin, Nan Grey, Helen Parrish, Charles Winninger, Nella Walker, Robert Cummings, William Lundigan, Ernest Cossart, Felix Bres- sart, HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, April 10.—Those three delightful young- sters who surprised and startled Universal into new life two years ago are indeed “grown up” in this sequel to the adventures of “Three Smart Girls.” Two of them, at least, have romances which lead to the altar. The sequel, which is rare for a sequel, does not disappoint. ‘What is still rarer, it calls for another, and yet another—as long as each can be as thoroughly delightful as this. The story is built around Deanna’s attempt to play Cupid in the romantic mix-ups of her older sisters. When Joan (Grey) becomes engaged to Richard (Lundigan), Penny (Durbin) discovers that Kay (Parrish) is heartbroken. Penny, taking a hint from the kindly family butler (Cossart) ropes in a “tall, dark and handsome” to solace Kay. But Harry (Cummings) also falls for Joan—which gives Penny another idea. Compounded of chuckles and charm and tears, this film meas- ures up to the standard Hollywood expects from its makers—the producer Joseph Pasternak, the director, the writers, the star Deanna. It has freshness in dialogue and situation, clever and understanding direction, and capital performances. ‘Winninger again is the absent-minded father, too involved in business to listen to his children’s troubles until almost too late, and his is the outstanding character work. Young Cummings, in a e o PERCY’S how's your “sniffer” today? It's easy to make sure that it's working O. K. Just stroll into PERCY'S at dinner time. If you find yourself surrounded by the most savory, fragrant aromas you've ever met — why, your "sniffer” knows its way around. TR o B IR sparkling character assignment, shows more personality than in all his previous roles combined. Deanna’s singing is introduced effectively, always in further- ance of the plot. “Im From Missouri” Secreenplay by John C. Moffitt and Duke Atteberry. Directed by Theodore Reed. Cast: Bob Burns, Gladys George, Gene Lockhart, Judith Barrett, William Henry, Patricia Morison, E. E. Clive, Melville Cooper, George P. Huntley, ‘Tom Dugan. There’s something familiar about this story of a Missouri fam- ily that goes to England to sell mules, the husband (Burns) re- maining homespun, the wife (George) taking an all but disas- trous fling at climbing the social ladder. It's rather like “They Had to See Paris,” which served Will Rogers some years ago, and T wouldn’t be surprised if some of “So This Is London,” another Rogers vehicle, were in it too. And it’s a Rogers-like charactefizationl, with his own inflec- tion, however, that Burns gives. The comedy begins slowly, but picks up as the yarn progresses, and along the way Burns gets off some characteristic philosophies. Interesting scenes: the Missouri mule markets. Funniest scenes: Tom Dugan's as a fake general at the Missourian’s soiree in London. “Sergeant Madden.” Screenplay by Wells Root. Directed by Josef von Sternberg. Cast: Wallace Beery, Tom Brown, Alan Cur- tis, Laraine Day, Fay Holden, Marc Lawrence. Interesting story idea—“A Gun in His Hand” by William A. Ulman, Jr.—came a-cropper in this picturization of a loyal police officer whose son grew up to be a cop—but turned killer. Beery gives a typical performance as the father, and Curtis is effective as the killer, but the picture turns out “just average” instead of exceptional as it might have been. Most interesting item: the important screen debut of Laraine Day, pretty, piquant, and a talented young actress, in the role of the killer's wife. -y (ARL AUSTIN HAHN 1 'SENATOI! JAMES HAM.

Medill McCormick, Republican, defeated Lewis’ attempt at re-elec- tion in 1918 and until 1930 Tllinois remained consistently Republican on major offices. Then Ruth Hanna McCormick, widow of Lewis 1918’ opponent, won the Republican Sen- atorial primary and Lewis defeated her in the election by 700,000 votes. Polite in Politics In that campaign the Lewis polite- ness reached an apex. He never criticized Mrs. McCormick person- ally but answered her statements with: “The lady has been led into error.” After the votes were counted when news photographers asked him . to smile, the courtly victor said: “Gentlemen, I will not exult over the defeat of a woman.” Il health first came to Senator Lewis in the 1930 campaign.

Friends said he always removed his hat and bowed subconsciously when talking to her \ over the telephone. Once, as they crossed the lobby of | a fashionable Chicago hotel, Col Lewis halted before a young woman, bowed deeply and said: “Madam you may inform your husband that James Hamilton Lewis thinks that is a very becoming gown.” The Sen- ator bowed again to the surprised but pleased lady and resumed his walk. Similar tales of the Lewis man- nerisms were legion, but sometimes he met his “come uppance.” Yet his sense of humor allowed him to ap- preciate jokes on himself and he delighted especially to tell of a red- headed waitress in the hotel of a small southern Illinois town which he visited in his 1912 campaign. She listened to his elaborately polite comments on the food and her own ministrations and appearance, then shot at him: | Gets Back at Him “Don't give me that line. I've been kidded by experts.” Lewis' graciousness once almost brought a diplomatic incident. Standing in evening clothes at the 'entrance of the dining room in a | Washington hotel, awaiting other members of his party, he was ac- costed by a woman who turned out to be a confidential agent of the British embassy. “Show me to a table,” the dapper Senator Without a smile Lewis bowed her to a table. Before he could leave the woman gestured toward the menu and said: “What would you suggest I take?” “Madam,” replied Lewis in his best manner, “after one glance at | you, were I not a married man, I would ‘suggest that you take me.” She was not appeased to learn that he was not the headwaiter, and the British embassy saw little humor in the incident.
