titled British girl
Astaire is the dancer, bashful
and retiring man who has been
given great build-up in the Lon
don papers as a "heart-breaker"
through the efforts of his public
ity agents, Burns and Allen, and
who is heartily sick of the whole
thing. Miss Fontaine plays the
girl, who is trying to avoid dis
tasteful marriage while her serv-
ants at Totleigh Castle are VIC
lently divided on the question of
whom she should marry, and have
organized their own sweepstakes
on the event.
Through all this Astaire weaves
a dizzy course, singing seven of
the eight song numbers in the
him and performing five new
dance routines that are said to be
the most spectacular of his entire
career. The songs, written by
the late George Gershwin and Ira
Gershwin are likewise hailed as
tops in the melodic field.
A London hotel and street set
tings, a country cottage and a
village during Fair Week afford
many unique backgrounds to the
story. The most important set
ting, however, is the huge 300
year-old castle, which was repro
duced complete to a moat and
gardens.

Here to their amazement, the
stupid detectives find real octo-
pus, which has a nasty habit of
thrusting tenacle through a
crevice in the wall and entwining
it about one or the other of the
dicks.
Occasionally a corps is found.
More frequently there are screams
of women, crashes of thunder,
binding flashes of lightning. Yet
between all these nerve chilling
scenes the unbelievably dumb
maneuvers of Herbert and Jen-
kins bring bursts of laughter.
Feminine interest in the show
is carried along by Marcia Ralston
a lovely brunette newcomer to
the screen.
