To be a great writer, she reasons, one must suffer; and, she ‘fun.hcr reasons, the best way to suf- fer is through an unhappy love af- fair. Jane is said to suffer plenty, |to provide a major portion of the |new film's hilarity. As the boy next | door, young Cooper finds difficulty in providing Jane with the romance she so urgently desires, solely be- lcause he's much too absorbed in fbulldmg and flying his parent-for- |bidden glider to bother with so 1“swacky” a thing as love. As a re- |sult, Jane breaks her heart over the {been serenading her. Directed by Theodore Reed, and !Lehman and Karen DeWolf, the new Columbia comedy includes in its supporting cast such well-known players as Edith Fellows, Josephine Hutchinson William Tracy, Martha O'Driscoll, Edgar Buchannan and Una O’'Connor.
