The picture is the new Para-| mount farce comedy, “Nothing But The Truth,” which is scheduled to unleash its hilarity beginning to- night at the 20th Century Theatre. Directed by Elliott Nugent, who was at the controls of a previous Hope-Goddard hit, “The Cat and the Canary,” the new comedy fea-| tures in its exceptionally good cast Edward Arnold, Leif Erickson, Helen Vinson, Catharine Doucet, Glenn Anders, Grant Mitchell; Rose Hobart and Willie Best Fresh from his solid smash suc- sess in “Caught in the Draft” Hope this time will be seen as a stock- broker who bets $10,000 that he can tell the truth for 24 hours. With Paulette Goddard to add to the cpmedy and romance, the pros- pect of Hope having to tell the ruth under all circumstances has all the earmarks of hilarious com- edy. ‘Knowing Hope gs we all do by now, he's the one who can make the most of a situation as cleverly contrived as this. His po- sition as a comedian in Hollywood these days is second to none. “Nothing But The Truth,” is a tonic, just anticipating its jollity.
