GIRL
PUTS "SNAP"
TN SONGS

Winnie Lightner, the sparkling
comedienne who rose to film
prominence in "Gold Diggers Of
Broadway" owes much Of her
popularity to two unusual talents,
her ability to put blue songs
over in a distinctive manner and
her ability to take fancy falls.
In The Life Of the Party"
the Warner Brothers and Vita
phone picture due tomorrow at
Warner Bros. Earle Theater, Miss
Lightner overreacheS even her
own high standard in singing sew
eral songs, which include "You
ought to See the Horse" and
"He Got a Poison Ivy Instead Of
a Clinging Vine." but where falls
are concerned the tables are re-
versed. She not only let's the
other members Of the cast do
all the falling but helps them to it.
One Of the funniest Of many
scenes in the picture comes when
Winnie and Irene Delroy, as two
fortune hunters, seek to become
acquainted with q rich man by
tripping him. This failing, Irene
herself takes to swooning, with
Winnie prompting her at oppor-
tune moments by pushing her
feet out from under her. At the
climax, a wealthy Southerner falls
for Winnie, but she puts him on
top Of the world again by promis-
ing to become his bride.

Mr.. Robbins Reports

Robbins of Keith'S, now III the
banking business, says he keeps
in touch with the theater through
this column. Thanks. But what
Mr.. Robbins warns the movies
about is not to take away from
the customer because business
skidS. He has never become
teconciled to the Broadway Gus
tom Of presenting plays without
orchestraS. And neither, I might
add, have I. The movies pros
pered and grew on the policy of
greater service and programs at
lesser prices. It is, he believes,
a good policy to keep in mind
constantly.
As for the legitimate theater,
he thinks it viii boom. when the
producers awake to the fact that
prices are altogether too high for

when soothing Zemo is sued
It's remarkable how quickly summer
itching vanishes when Zemo touches
the skin. Use it for rashes, bites, ivy
poisoning and itching, peeling toes.
This far famed antiseptic draws out
heat and pain and quickly soothes
away irritation. Use safe, healing
Zemo freely to clear up ugly pimples
and dandruff. It's invisible and
odorless. Just the thing for sunburn
and other summer skin irritations.
