has a chance to do a role apart
from anything previously at
tempted in her latest starring
picture. "Sweethearts and Wives, -
now playing at Warmers Earle
Theater.
Miss Dove plays the part Of a
well,bred English aristocrat who
tries to recover a diamond neck
lace to save her sister from di-
vorce. In order to succeed she
finds it necessary to meet the
thief at lonely inn in the south
of France. Here. in order to dis
guise herself. she becomes the
femme de chambre. Just as she
is about to regain the diamonds,
the thief is killed.
Into this inn comes Tony Peel
in search of someone to fix his
car and sell him some gas. He
is in an awkward position be-
cause the woman with him is
married and fearful lest her hus-
band learn of this escapade.
Give Brook comes into the
picture as a divorce detective en-
ployed by the suspicious husband.
He is assigned to recover the
necklace that it may facilitate
his divorce. OF course, Brook is
the natural enemy of Billie Dove
and does all possible to thwart
her, but she manages to win out
by quick thinking and quicker
action.

Ginger" Strikes Out

Paramount gave Ginger Rogers
a tough assignment when the
casting director or somebody with
astigmatism elected her for the
role of Puff Randolph in Young
Man of Manhattan"
The song and dance girl never
approximates the infantile flap
per of Katherine BruSh'S novel
from which the picture was made.
Puff" was conceived by the
author as an adolescent approach
ing 16, one who knew all the
facts. of life, craved romance and
excitement, liquor and boys,
found a certain silly satisfaction
in the dangerous task of trying
to make" a married man who
was old-fashioned enough to be
in love with his wife. She had
youth and beauty on her side
and certain daring born Of
ignorance and inexperience. A
spoiled kid looking for thrills
and finding rebuffs and disap-
pointment as an amateur IN a
losing game.
Ginger Rogers can sing a
snappy song and since the role
of puff" in the movies has been
adorned with a peppery lyric, the
singer got the job. But she looks
all Broadway, lacked the essential
extreme youth and was handi-
capped to a fault in trying to
match charm with Claudette Col
bert beauty. In other words, she
was badly miscast for anybody
looking for Puff" who resem-
bled the Brush fiction character.
My third year English high
school Spanish is a little bit

Mexican Mamma in Warner Bax-
ter's film THE Arizona Kid" at

Rudy's rival, Will Osborne, at

Osborne croons like Vallee or
maybe it should be the other
way round. The priority lights
on this manner of singing over

heard Will Osborne at the
first show Saturday afternoon
and when he announced the
radio signature tune would be
offered by his orchestra the ap-
plause was considerable.
Then he gave as an encore
the University of Maine Stein
song, which struck me as grab
bing one from his rivals roper
toire, for Rudy Vallee put this
one on the map although the
song has a venerable history.
Anyway Osborne has a swell
band act. I commend it, includ-
