Nor a grouch! Starring Ann Sothern and Red Skelton, this Metro-Goldwyn-May- er version of the Broadway pro- duction is fast-moving at all times, offers new and hummable tunes and is funny enough to entertain the worst grouch you know. Miss Sothern, as Panama Hattie, has one of the most brilliant roles of her career. She portrays a night club singer. who is loved by every- one who meets her Red Skelton continues his amaz ing strides along the star path, ably abetted by Ragland and Blue.

H These intimates are confident that even if he 'were nominated, MacArthur would refuse the nom- | ination. That is a point that the “MacArthur-for-President” club in Tllinois (where they insist they will put him on the primary ticket for president, with or without his per- mission) would do well to explore. Under the presml Army ruling, if MacArthur were named in conven- tion, he would have to abandon his command to accept the nomination. He would have to resign from the Army, return to civilian life, and give up the very things he now is seeking so strenuously to achieve. The President, as his commander in chief, probably would exempt him from the order, as a gesture of courtesy toward a prospebtive op- | ponent.

Ted Lawson sitting in on the script, which Dal- ton Trumbo is preparing. After that, he’ll be off on another assign- ment—probably not over Tokyo again, for his injuries have ground- ed him. | Ted Lawson was one of the raid- ers who crashed in friendly Chi- | nese territory, close to the Jap! lines. His book tells about it—the | injury that cost him a leg, ampu- ! tated without anesthetic in a poor village, the long, slow recovery, the return to his wife and the new baby he had never seen. There is much more, of course. The excitement of | preparation for a “dangerous” un- named mission,. the bombing raid itself, are told simply and straight- | forwardly, and it adds up to the makings of a first-rate picture. Ted is 26 now, a Hollywood boy who never wanted to get inside a studio. He‘wanted to be an aero- nautical englneer, and he was work- ing at it before he joined the ser- vice. It’s the work he'll do again. The first thing he'll tell you is that he didn’t actually write the book. He “told” it to Bob Considine. “I always had thought,” hell say, “thal if you had a real experience you could write about it. I found it | wasn't so.
