have one OF the fastest pre- Christ
tooth into
Over at Loew's they call it Whip
saw We will admit that We were
dubious when we heard about the
Tracy-Loy combination. It Just
seemed too much for the lovely
Myrna to do; to bend to the will OF
that meanie Spencer Tracy, espc-
cially after playing with that Thin
Man, William Powell But you
would hardly know Mryna this
week. Shes got a new hat.
And besides she's quite the catch
lest pearl thief we've ever seen
She's just as smart as the cops, can
play nurse at unexpected moments,
and falls in love with the right man
at precisely the right time.
She Uses Her Head
Now, all kidding aside, We do
wish to doff our toppers to Miss 10y
for sizing Mr.. Tracy up and playing
with him at his own game instead
OF remaining the fragile heroine she
might have been. In "WhipsaW
she groWls, mumbles, smirks, smiles
and makes love just as Mr.. Tracy
might have ordered had he been
doing the ordering Miss 10y dis
plays again 1--WE haven't heard it
for q long time) that delightful
huskinesS which her voice can only
produce when she isn't playing a
sophIstiCatc.
The trouble in "WhipsaW' all
starts when some pearls disappear
from the owner at the Customs
house in New York. Police suspect
Miss Logs acComplces and they are
right, But what they don't know
is that Miss 10y didn't have any
thing to do with the robbery, also
that her pals planted the jewels in
the handle Of Miss Logs hand mir
ror which she takes with her when
she sklps town.
The reason for skipping town is
all planned out by the United States
Cavalry, we mean the G-men, of
which Mr.. Tracy is an obtrusiYe
member, He is assigned to Miss
10y, which is probably the highest
honor that could be paid a c.
man.
She Goes With Tracy
In braWl at a bar Mr.. Tracy
gives Miss 10y handful of cash
to hold for him, shouting his adj
dress so every one can hear. Later
when she telephones him to come
and get the money, he makes a
getaway" taking the girl with him.
They take a cross country plane.
The two are followed by rivals Of
Miss Logs gang That keeps her
close to Mr.. Tracy for protection
That's what MI. Tracy wants. And
as the trip goes on he realizes that
that's what he would want even if
he weren't Oman.
The romance suddenly blossoms
at a secluded farmhouse IN Mis-
souri, where MI. Tracy and Miss
10y have put up for the night after
helping the lady of the house have
twins during a storm. just as the
two clinch in peaceful realization
of their love, the hand mirror drops
to the floor, breaks, spills pearls all
over the floor. Then Tracy thinks
he has been ensnared by a womau'S
wileS and he handouts Miss 10y to
his wrist
Pearls to Swine
When the rival gang bursts into
the farmhouse, Mr. Tracy losses the
pearls to the farmers swine, tells
the gangsterS he and Miss 10y are
married, which is a lie.
After a swift. pitched battle, G.
man Tracy gets not only his man
but also three others and one Of
them wings him. In the hospital
he clears Miss 10y, and she says
yes.
The success of "WhipsaW" is due
wholly to Mr. Tracy and Miss 10y.
You can forget about the rest CT
the cast. You probably will But
this role is just one more gem for
Myrna whose crown. contains no
alloy.
Another Disney Riot
Like a breath of morning air
is Walt Disneys colortoon, The
Three Orphan Kittens which
LoeW's is SandWiChing in between
Myrna 10y and Frank Morgan this
week. In it the three little felines
upset an entire household, climb
onto a player piano, perform aero
battles While the instruments bangs
out Kitten On The Keys It's a
distinct riot, a marvel of the me-
chanical ingenuity of the Disney
dauberS.
Frank Morgan'S first solo star
ring picture, The Perfect Gentle
man." is not as successful as it
might have been. 1t isn't Frank S
fault Nor Cicely Courtneidge's, the
girl who plays opposite him. It's
faulty production, direction and
continuity that gets The Perfect
Gentleman'S' shirt dirty.
Mr.. Morgan is superb as the
shabby old gentleman to whom per-
lection of attire comes first, but
whose heart of gold is finally pol
ished up as he wins fair lady and
riches for life.
