Considering that the picture stars Don Ameche and Mary Martin, and features in its important cast Oscar Levant, Virginia Dale, Connie Bos- \wll and Rochester, directed by the ace director of musicals, Victor Schertzinger, the prospects for first- rate, snappy entertainment are bright indeed. The story concerns a beautiful chorine from the South with plenty Broadway until she learns that a handsome, Broadway stage director is going to comb the Southland for an ideal Southern beauty to play the lead in his show. Of course, she goes back down South and permits director to “discover” her dur- ing his search. Five brand new song numbers are introduced in “Kiss the Boys Good- with music by Director Schert- zinger, the man of many talents and lyries by Frank Loesser. The tunes are “Kiss the Boys Goodbye,’ “Sand in My ho T'll Never Let A Day Pass By,” “Find Yourself a Melody” and “My Start.” In addition to the cast already mentioned, the new comedy with music features such well-known veteran performers as Barbara Al- len, the “Vera Vague” of radio; Raymond Walburn, whose screen antics have never failed to pro- vide laughs, abeth Patterson and Jerome C()\\'un PANTS VERY OFTEN FALL, - 0DD TIMES 'Winston Churchill Witness- ed Embarrassing Sit- | uation-Others Told BY GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, July 24—We leain an AP report that while| Winston Churchill was observing troop maneuvers in South Cumuna,‘ one soldier, going over a rough| | burdle, broke his belt and his pams? |fell down around his knees. The! prime minister is said to have chuckled and then turned aside| while the embarrassed lad repaired the dam.ges. Accidents like this happen more often than you think. Twice, once | on a stage and once in a hospital operating room, I saw the same thing happen. In a road company | of “The Student Prince” a Heidel- berg “student” lost his britches about three feet behind the foot- lights, and, as I recall now, retrieved the situation as best he| could and trundled off stage in the | midst of “Deep in My Heart, Dear, I Have a Dream of You.” But tkat was nothing to what happened to the surgeon as he was amputating the right leg of a man| in the operating room one morn- ing. This operator had a fine repu- tation but he was eccentric as to nis hospital dress. When he op- erated, he wore only a long pair «f white, wool drawers, boots, and a rubber apron. In the midst of this amputation his drawers fell off, and without losing a motion or tak- ing his eye from the patient he screamed to the nurses, “Get ’em up, damn it! Get 'em up!” They Litched them up and pinned them with a safety pin for the doc while he expertly sawed off the patient’s leg.
