Spies in Old
Plot at Fox
Well Played
"Till We Meet Again"
Very Snappy- Band
Music on Stage.

THERE are several explanations
l. that might be offered for Till
We Meet Again" the current cinema
attraction at Loew's Fox. 1t might
be that Paramount's story-buyer has
a short memory; it is possible that
he goes to few movies and hasn't seen
the one about the lad and the lassie
who were enemy spies, or maybe the
authors agent who sold the story is
Just good salesman. Because,
whether or not ParamountS story
buyer has seen this one before, it's
not the first time it's been put on
the screen.
Till We Meet Again" tells the
tragic and heart-rending tale of a
British actor chappie in love with a
girl who was an Austrian spy. Comes
the war, the lady is called to action
for the Fatherland and the actor
joins the British Intelligence. Then
there's lot of rip-roaring melodrama,
hardly plausible, but exciting enough,
if that's all you want. The melodrama
Is concerned mostly with these two
spies getting into trouble and then
getting out by the simple medium
of cumming a cigarette, ordering a
beer, or walking into a store and
asking for some rare item that nobody
else would ask for, a process which
always discovers a pal who knows
the answers. In the end, the lass
uncovers the lads operations in Ger
many, but the call of love is stronger
than the call of the Kaiser. so they
fee to Holland.
The film really is an urgent plea
for pacifism. No wars. no spies. No
spies, no stories like this.
Several extremely competent play
ers, namely Herbert Marshall, Lionel
Atwill and Gertrude Michael, have
been thrust into this by the Para
mount people and they play their
roles with integrity and sincerity,
just as though they believed what they
were doing was important. Robert
Florey directed and managed to get
1t over within the proper time.
Babs Laval, a triple jointed young
lady who does an acrobatic dance to
end all acrobatic dances, is the hit
of Benny Meroff's stage show. Her
performance is a gay and clever bit
of satire.
The rest of the show is pleasant
enough, with Jeffrie Gill singing,
Mr.. Meroff playing well upon num-
Der of usual and unusual orchestra
instruments, the Swingtet doing a
couple of neat numbers, and with
other people contributing various
bright moments, all backed up by a
combination of noise and dance music
from the Meroff band.

nice delivery of Cabin in the Cot
