It is easily one of the funniest and most entertaining pletures of this season's new crop. The story is about Bonnie’s ef- forts to sing with Albert Dekker's orchestra. Dekker, whose tastes run to blondes, goes to Colonna's weight - reducing sanitarium, to shrink his girth in order to get a radio spot sponsored by the maker of a non-fattening food product. Dyeing her hair from brunette ‘o blonde, Bonnie and her agent, Ed- ward Everett Horton, pursue Dek- ker to the screwy sanitarium, which is run like a night club by Co- lonna and his lovely nurse, Lillian |Cornell, who sings and dances. Bonnie, with her little girl's voice ‘Alhat lilts provocatively, and Band- |leader Tucker prove to be a charm- }ing screen pair, Aided by a highly amusing story, and a first-rate cast, including Jerry Colonna, Lillian Cornell, Albert Dekker, Edward Ev- erett Horton ,and Teddy Hart, the = [film goes into high gear and stays ( there throughout. | PSS S GARDEN CLUBIS TO HOLD SESSION | N ARE ANNOUCNED program planned, the Juneau Gar-| gyeeptions to the passenger autos den Club wil meet tomorrow after- y,nije rationing regulations issued noon, February 10, at 2 o'clock at py the Office of Price Administrae the residence of Mrs. Wellman Hol- (io) the first of this menth havé brook, President.
