The three leading players have time and again proven their ability to please even the most critical of movie- goers and producer-director George Stevens has supplied cinema fans with some of Hollywood's top hits in recent years. It’s all about a beautiful Wash- |ington secretary who decides to do !her share toward relieving the housing shortage in the nation's capital by renting her spare room Determined to permit only a wo- man to share her small apartment, Jean Arthur, as the secretary, fi- at persuasive arguments and permits him to rent the room—;for only one week! Afraid that things won't work| out, Jean's worst fears are realized | when Coburn promptly sublets half of his room to Joel McCrea, an en- | gineer in Washington on business Thus forced to share her kitchen | and bath with two strange men, Jean goes through a madcap series | of hectic and hilarious moments Showing for the last time tonight | is “Young and Willing.” YIRS ORI B A BEHRENDS WILL TAKE INVENTORY ON NEXT MONDAY | The B.
