HOLLYWOOD producers must have
IL been grown up during the World

brownette charmer be brave through
several reels of that war, with her hair
becomingly bobbed. distinctly 1885,
and her hats predicting Fall styles Tor

If the movie capital must do things
like that, somebody should delete all

scientists working night and day to
assure the American public authen-
ITCHY about buttons on uniforms.

entertainment if one was in kinder

one. however, ever struggled with
masses of long hair before dancing
with the heroes determined to do
plenty of waltZing before embarking

moments.
The middle-aged spectator is always
expecting Franchot Tone Qrish) and
Cary Grant CFrench) to say, What
an odd little American you are. Do
the women really shear their hair
over there?"
Instead, they marry her, and in one
Instance (Cary Grant) don't find her
sufficiently amusing to take around
on Paris leaves. To do the French
aviator (Cary Grant, credit. he prob
ably didn't like making himself con-
spicuous with woman with cut hair.
Enough about history. To do Jean
Harlow credit, she doesn't seem to
like the picture much either. When
home being angelic to an aged father
in-law, one knows Jean would have
been out diverting tired warriors on
leave, and being brave about it. Miss
Harlow, Cary Grant, and Franchot
Tone do able jobs, assisted by Lewis
Stone, as the father-in-law. and Be-
nita Hume, as the woman spy. But
the plot is not convincing, and even
the airplane battles manage to be
trite.
The shorts, Gypsy Revels," with
Yasha Bunchuk; "Just Another Case

There seems to be number Of

The inseparable friends, Moe

men to take over any odd Job that
might arise. One day they were
assigned the task Of cleaning one
Of the fat, squat chimneys Of the
factory. The work progressed beau
tifully for about ten minutes and
then Moe made a particularly
clean sweep of things. He leaned
too far and as he fell he clutched
Joe by the leg and yanked him

to the bottom Of the stack and
were bruised but not seriously
hurt. Joe was very indignant and
disguised at Moe for pulling him
down too and wouldn't speak a
word to his friend. To add insult
to injury Joe had gotten his face
very dirty in the fall while Moe
hadn't gotten his dirty at all.
Joe promptly walked over to q
bucket of water and washed his
face. Moe did likewise, and when
he finished Joe had gone, prob
ably to see the foreman about an
other Job. The question is: Why
