day as it was when it came down with
. bang in the middle of April
Showers" On it have rested more
nanny songs than you can shake a
stick at. 1t Is as famous as Mae
Vests profile, as Make Baer's nit
tens, as Jeanette Macdonald waking
up in the morning. 1t has helped to
stimulate the tear founts of thou
sands of sentimental maidens-and it
has, Of course, prevented Mr.. JolSon
from falling on his nose.
Not that he has any intention of so
doing in Go Into Your Dance" His
mission here is to get back on Broad
way after he has been expelled from
Its ermine precincts. A story said to
be based on an honest-to-g goodness
Broadway playboy married to one of
Hollywood's stars now on the decline,
it gives Jolson a chance not only to
sing nanny song, but to watch
Ruby Keeler dance, to escape from
Patsy Kelly and to fall for the subtle
oglings Of Helen Morgan, lady whose
averdupois has lessened and whose
charms have done just the opposite.

COME day Miss Morgan and Patsy
- Kelly will get real break on the
screen. Then watch their smoke!
While Miss Morgan does little burn
ing in Go Into Your Dance" it isn't
the red hot sort of sequence that one
of these days will ignite the town. She
Is quietly revengeful, gently malicious
and capable of reaching a good SO
degrees.
But she is never allowed the boiling
point. One or two clinches with Jolson,
and then she fades. 1t is interesting
to observe, however, that even at her
entrance, when she has to play second
fiddle to Glenda Farrell, that all eyes
turned toward her-that she can be
lost in a crowd and people still will
find her out and be a good deal more
interested in what she is doing than
they are in what any one else is doing
She might easily be the Lucrezia
Borgia of the screen. The My Bill"
days of rubbing her hands together
in sort of a Soapy exuberance are gone.
She can get her man now just as well
off the piano as on And while at the
moment she may not be the DuSe of
the studios, her emotions are very
much under control, and dollars to
doughnuts, she could do a Norma
Shearer role with an elegance, depth,
a haunting whatnot, that would amaze
you.
Remember Applause? It's time
somebody did something like this for
her over again.
DAISY KELLY is, OF course, a bird
Of another feather. She never
starts a picture or finishes a picture.
Somewhere in the middle there is
Patsy Kelly-and that's about all
(except in those brief comedies when
over the place.. Nevertheless she
being the most casual, the sloppiest,
the most Il don't give darn" sort
OF person on the screen. Her ward
robe doesn't alter her appearance one
iota-she can wear crown jewels and
a dress worth kings ransom and
still look as badly as she did before
breakfast. There's something likeable
about her in spite of it.
She has brief fling in the new
JolSon picture and does that f1inging
as is her custom Superlatively. A
wouldbe hoofer who tries to charm
Jolson with her dance of the dying
Flamingo" she snaps into the film for
q second and then snaps out of it. In
good old Kelly form she disappears be-
fore you can say jack rabbit and is out
of the game just when you want her
the most However, the fact that she
is around is a good omen-and We
should say that the combination of
Kelly and Jolson is most fortunate.
a FTER the preview last night, local
4 reviewers were given their first
glimpse of trio known as "The Three
Little Words" In the pale-green
quarters of the Warner Offices, melody

ladies plunked out talent that is
