The plot; if anybody cares, is the one about the boy who can't sell his prize horse to the girl because their pappies have an old feud. But nobody's too serious about it and if you must have a dash of originality, THIS horse is an Argentine horse, NOT bred in old Kaintuck or Maryland. Ameche is the Argentine boy, Grable the American Ameche comes to life, accent and all, and Grable, well, you ought to see the little gal now, tapping, singing, doing congas, and looking like a blond whirlwind. Carmen Miranda, the Brazilian torch, appears only as an entertiner. Unlike many entertainers, che entertains — with the same Portuguese songs, naughty eyes and whatnot that burned up Broadway. Lenky Miss Greenwood, still without imitators, takes care of plenty of comedy, along with Kinsky, Naish and various others. I imagine South Americans will be most pleased with the breath-taking scenes of Buenos Aires if they're Chamber of Com- merce minded, but the hit tunes and continuous flood of hot rhythms ought to please everybody. people, girl. “TOO MANY GIRLS.” Screenplay by John Twist.

The four all-Americans hired as bodyguards for the wld heiress at old Pottawatomie make up the plot, but it's the non- sense of virtua! ev body — and notably Eddie Bracken — plus the tunes and the and fast dancing that make “Too Many Girls” a happy hour All the people fea hot tured have plenty to do and they do it so well it's not encugh.

Written, directed and produced by Ben Hecht, Princiapls: Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Rita Haycrth, Thomas Mitchell, John Qualen, George Watts. One of Hecht's tense little melodramas of city life, brilliantly and compactly told, splendidly acted and photographed, with Hechtian dialogue packing a steady punch. A little man who wants to commit suicide because he stole $3.000 is saved by a trio of city denizens, oddly but con- vincingly thrown together by a rainy night. Perfect atmosphere, . fine suspense, excellent characterizations — especially by Qualen as the absconder, and by Mitchell as the disheartened, bibulous playwright. Rita Hayworth now is an actress as well as a beauty and Fairbanks packs authority in his work as the con- man who turns softie. vy OF BLA(KQUI One Lost, One Saved when Rich- ce NATIVE DROWNS N CROSS SOUND BOAT EXPLCSION Rowboat Oveturns After Accident Thomas James, native, lost his life this week near Georges Island in Cross Scund when the gasboat Sunbeam exploded, Deputy U. 3 Marshal George W.
