There's a screamingly funny sequence about the “davenola,” a remarkable studio invention which bed-sofa-radio- telephone and self-airing equipment, Powell and Drew (the girl gets better all the time) make an ingratiating couple, and the character support serves the Sturges exactly, “Christmas in_ July” is a picture for combines purpose every- hody’s list “YOUTH WILL BE SERVER.” Jane Withe nell, Joe Brown, Jr. Directed by Otto Brower.

There’s a sensational young Negro tenor, Charles Holland, whose singing makes you think his future is here already. Pleasant picture, especially as it showcases Jane to better advantage than usual. “SKY MURDER.” Walter Pidgeon, Donald Meek, Joycé Compton.
