Directed by George Cukor. Principals: Katherine Hepunrn, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey, John Howard, John Halliday, Roland Young, Mary Nash, Virginia Weidler. Made from the play in which the persistent Miss Hepburn confounded her Broadway critics, this is he move which now has Hollywood tumbling over itself for the Hepburn favor. It's a rare piece of movie, besides — an abundance of “box- office cast” in a “big” picture not conscious of its bigness, in a “smart” comedy not too smart to be human, in a picture (in short) that is just about the year's most satisfying piece of entertain- ment. 5 The “Philadelphia Story” — the one that Reporter Stewart and Photographer Hussey of “Spy Magazine” crash Hepburn's main line Society home to get — conecrns the coming second marriage of the resolutely opinionated young woman who doesn't know that she's the occupant of a mental ivory tower. Abetting the crash is Grant, the first husband, tried dnd found definitely wanting — by ivory tower standards. By the fade-out, Hepburn has climbed down from her tower on a chain of complications, always amusing and frequently hilarious, always embroidered pleasantly with keen, brnght Barry dialogue. Star arriving: Miss Hussey, previously seen in “Susan and “TRAIL OF THE VIGILANTES.” Screenplay by Harold Shumate. Directed by Allan Dwan. Principals: Franchot Tone, Warren William, Borderick Crawford, Andy Devine, Mischa Auer, Porter Hall, Peggy Moran.

In this tale of an American reporter in Moscow and his Soviet girl, there are funny'lines and situations, excitement, and a pre- posterous finish involving a wild mess of Russian tanks, Hedy, incidentally, has her most animated role.

Kay Francis doesn’t seem like Jo, exactly, but Plumfield has its old charms — and Oakie’s comic talents are still in full stride. There’s enough sentiment for the Alcott fans, but Norman Z.
