According to the 40 contract
screen writer's at Columbia Stu
dos, that's all there is in the way
of situations for boy meeting girl.
All other ways are merely var1a-
lions of these themes, they say.
Actual examples Of the 10 basic
formulas as used in pictures serve
to illustrate better the boy meets
girl situation, according to Story
Editor Manson. She said:
Chance, the most common
means, is most used because it
lends itself to the greatest num-
Der of variations. An unusual
variation of this theme will be
based in Irene DUNES next Co
lumbia picture, tentatively titled,
Theodore Goes Wild Miss
Dunno will meet her hero because
he is the artist who has illus
trated her novel.

Once upon a time there was a
scenario writer who got the
amazing CD idea of having the
heroine attend a smart girls
school, where a stranded theatri-
cal troupe happened to be begging
coffee and cakes. In order to put
the school on the black side Of the
financial ledger, everybody posed
as students and professors cause
the wealthy little heroine'S daddy
was a show producer. And so they
put on a show, and
The leading man is a whizz at
playing the piano. composing
songs, singing a love ballad and
nothing short of Fred Astaire
when it comes to dancing.
Even if Director Ray McCarey's
name was Lubitsch Van Dyke and
he had all the experience of these
two capable megaphonists, he
couldn't have done much with
such a cobwebby idea. He did
manage, however. to set a speedy
pace and to brighten antique sit
uationS with bright directorial
gestures, and that's something.
Eleanore Whitney is quite a
clever tap dancer. She hasn't the
poise nor the experience and nat
ural grace of Eleanor Powell, but
that may come with more study.
There's q newcomer, a lad named
Louis Da Prom, who is a WOW as
a dancing partner for her. We GER
tainly could see more of them to-
gether.
William Frawley deals out many
a giggle and over comes much OF
the trite dialogue by his own per
sonality. Roscoe Harms, too, con-
tributes a few amusing moments.
Robert Cummings, Elizabeth Pat
terson, John Halliday, Grace Brad
ley, Veda Ann Borg, Olympic Brad
ma and Billy Lee complete the
cast. Danny Dare does a nice job
staging the dance numbers.
