Hollywood Sights And Sounds Bv Robbin Coens. HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. L.—“HIRED WIFE” Screenplay by Richard Connell and Gladys Lehman, from story by George Beck. Directed by William A. Seiter. Principals: Rosalind Russell, Brian Aherne, Virginia Bruce, Robert Benchley, John Carroll, Hobart Cavanaugh, Richard Lane. Miss Russell is extremely credible in her assignment. With smartness and humor and all-around good acting, she makes the kind of wife who would win, in real life, over whatever complications were thrown in her path. Here she is the wife in a marriage of convenitnce, espoused because her employer (Aherne) is about to be done wrong by a bunch of wicked rivals. The ex-secretary, thus legally endowed with her husband’s assets, has a merry time in putting to rout the wiles of adversaries both business and romantic, the latter embodied in beautecus Bruce as an advertising model with designs not meant for the ads. Roz gets her man — and it’s one of the year’s light, bright pictures, fast-moving and funny. NO TIME FOR COMEDY.” Screenplay by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein from the play by S. N. Berhman. Directed by William Keighley. Principals: James Stewart, Rosalind Russell, Genevieve Tobin, Charlie Ruggles, Allyn Joslyn, Clar- ence Kolb, Louise Beavers. More lightness and brightness here, in this story of a hick- town playwright whose sparkling comedies of Park Avenue make him famous but unhappy. That’s Stewart, who can do more with an honest hick than any other boy in town. Miss Russell (in her second new picture of the week) plays PERCY’S CAFE STOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakiast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN SERVICE ® REFRESHMENTS the famous actress who marries him and keeps him happy until Amanda (Tobin) comes along with her plan to “inspire” him to serious things. That leaves Russell and Amanda’s husband (Rug- gles) free for each other, to neither's great joy. But the wife again comes through, via the well-worn route of understanding sympathy when the husband comes a-cropper. “No Time for Comedy” has good fun, good lines and situa- tions and nail-on-the-head acting to make up for an occasional phoney not like the ending. Ruggles is one to watch in his “new” character. “RANGERS OF FORTUNE.” Screenplay by Frank Butler. Directed by Sam Wood. Principals: Fred MacMurray, Albert Dekker, Gilbert Roland, Patricia Morison, Joseph Schildkraut, Dick Foran, Betty Brewer. Wood (“Mr. Chips,” “Our Town,” etc.) here proves again that he can take assignments as they come, for this is a rollicking western. The “rangers” are MacMwray, Roland, and Dekker, the oneé- time “Dr. Cyclops” who now, as a punch-drunk fighter, takes a slice of comedy cake. But all three do that, for the filf has a swashbuckling humor. There's mystery, and a girl (Morison) and a- homely young- ster named Betty Brewer so devoid of cloying affectation you may wonder how she got into movies at all. She got in by singing and danclig ‘Q Smn“ ofya Povnewwh m’m SROL ;q Qelp out the folks, Women of Ll‘;v Moose meeting, the Odd Fellows| adv.
