All "THE PALM BEACH STORY" SHOWING AT 20TH CENTURY There's a mighty amusing story on the screen of the 20th Century | Theatre, told by Preston Sturges and hilariously acted by Claudette Col- hert, Joel McCrea, Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor. It's “The Palm Beach Story” Paramount’s comedy romance about a couple, married five years and still in love, about to call it quits because the little woman, played by {Miss Colbert, decides that it isn't practical to live by love alone. Mc- Crea, her husband, while being a charming fellow and talented at in- ventions, just isn't equally talented at raising the money necessary to market them. Claudette considers herself a flop |as his wife but believes that as his | “sister” she'll be able to use her |beauty to his business advantage. McCrea is, of course, opposed to her |idea but that doesn't stop her. She's off to Palm Beach for a divorce The fun really starts in earnest ‘un Claudette’s arrival in Palm | Beach McCrea manages to get ‘lhm too, and Claudette introduces {him to Vallee as her brother.
