without her disguise.
In the scene Patsy Kelly
comes into the room vigor-
ously brushing her teeth.
When she sees Montgomery,
she is flabbergasted, and Miss
Davies, who has had to pre-
tend to be Patsy, her room
mate, hurriedly volunteers:
ooh, she is just a friend
who dropped in to brush her

Her delivery of the line is
so funny that it gets a laugh
even from the workers on the

wake Up and Live" has the
spirited sparkle to make you do
just that! It is the gayest, the zip
piest of the current crop Of tune

entertainment plus!
It wouldn't be fair to compare
this with other musicals. It isn't
like any other. It contains original
ity, great gobS Of marvellous mu-
sic, makes a star Of Jack Haley,
continues that popular and funny
feud between Winchell and Bernie
and manages to be socko entertain
ment from start to finish.
Winchell, as the columnist,
really does a fine piece Of acting
and resembles a real-life reporter
more than anyone who has ap.
peared on the screen in many a
day. Walter really makes a
mighty nice impression in celluloid,
And Bernie is no SLOUGH when it
comes to holding his own before
the microphone.
Smart and speedy is Sidney Lam
fields directorial treatment Of the
brisk and chuckful Of fun script
supplied by Tugend and Yellen. OF
the seven Gordon and Ravel tunes,
there are three, wake Up and
Live" There's a Llll IN MY Life''
and Never in q Million Years"
that will set you to Humming.
They are cinch hits.
The story, which is Just one
merry quip after another, centers
around the feuding Ben and
Walter. Quite accidentally, Jack
Haley, suffering from microphone
fright, sings over what he believes
to be a disconnected mike" but
it is actually tuned into Bernie's
program. Unknowingly, Jack
makes a definite hit and Ben lies
out Of the odd situation by claim.
ing he has a phantom singer.
The excitement and suspense
then begin to mount when both
Ben and Walter start out to find
Jack, who still doesn't know what
he's done. While this is going on,
there is ample opportunity for all
manner Of bright entertainment.
Alice Faye is superb, especially
when she sings There's Lull in
MY Life" Patsy Kelly and Ned
Sparks are riots as quarreling
stooges Of Walters. The Condos
Brothers are dancing vows. Walter
F.! Catlett and Grace Bradley are the
villains Of the piece in a most
amusing fashion. Joan Davis was
terrific in Q comedy bit.
With all Of this. Jack Haley sue
ceedS in literally stealing the pic
ture IN his quiet, rather wistful lit.
tie way. He's swell comic. He's
well on the road to big-time fame.
| I've seen a great many musical
films, but seldom have been SO
thrilled, so much on the edge Of
the theater seat, as I was with
wake Up and Live"
Daryl Zanuck well earns an.
other pat on the back, as do all
those concerned, for this piece Of
top.notch entertainment.

introduce new faces to the
screen-at least So of them.
We watch some of the
newcomers work in a the
alter set on Stage No. l. An
addition for a show is sup
posed to be going on.
For most of the enter

very much like the audi

a job in the picture. Only
they are not so worried
now.
They try to act like old
hands in the movies-to
hide their excitement under
their nonchalance. But in
each one burns the hope Of
stardom. 1t is a drama.
