mares up again looking fresh and new.
Say thank you to Mr.. Binyon, every
body And to Paramount.
Sing You Sinners" sounds more
musical than it actually is, for the
emphasis is upon the drama in the
affairs of family of dreamers. Mr..
Crosby is a ne'er-do-well son, fellow
OF unconquerable optimism, who would
take flyer on the fact that tomorrow
would not be Sunday. Not being
altogether a fool (Mr. Binyon always
watches his characters for that. he
would ask suitable odds, but he would
be willing to bet nevertheless. 1t is
the sort of thing that calls for more
acting and less grooming, as you can
see, but there is enough of the latter to
satisfy any Crosby fan who still likes
his boo-boo-a-boo.
The just-folk quality which Holly
wood has discovered about people
lately is dominant in Sing You Sin
ners" The family's name in this case
is Beebe, no relation to Lucius nor
William. Its members, in addition to
the drifter, include very earnest
mamma who can't help loving her
worthless son, an older son whose best
efforts to give the family equilibrium
are unavailing and an ugly but charm
ing little tyke who hero worships the
ne'er-do-well. Joe (Crosby) dreams
the dreams for the whole group, and
no matter how many of them blow up
In their faces, the others cannot help
sharing his optimism that next time
everything is going to be all right.
From its beginning, the story is
heading toward a climax that involves
. current love which makes Grooming
secondary in Crosby's life, namely tfN
race track. Just when he gets himself
set finally in successful business and
completely re-establishes the famiIy's
faith in him, he ups and trades the
business for race horse that is such
an unknown quantity the higher math
experts could not figure him out.
It is unnecessary to say more to
give you an idea of how everything
turns out. That does not mean you
can sit back and relax, however, for
the direction Of Wesley Ruggles jams
the thing with an unbelievable sus-
pense. The race sequences could not
be more exciting than if you had

might learn something about the art
of pushing favorite home winner
from the gestures of Crosby, whose
acting in these areas Of the film is
an indication of why he has become
owner Of racing stable. It is nat
ural and intense.
The humor of Sing You Sinners"
is the simple type for which Mr..
Binyon deserves at least one more
laurel. He has woven the musical
art of Mr. Crosby and that Of Fred
MacMurray, who plays the older
brother very handsomely, into the
picture by the stunt of making the
Beebe's musical. That is where their
talent really lies, and with it their
soundest chance of making a living
like other people. If they had been
like other people, of course, there
would have been no film called Sing
You Sinners"
That would be too bad, for in addi-
ton to the co-starred Crosby and
MacMurray, good entertainment de-
rives from the work of Elizabeth Pat
terson as the harrassed mother; Dom
aid O'Connor as the youngest son, and
Ellen Drew as the sweetheart Of the

group, you have an altogether false
impression Of how effectively toys can

in not moving SO much as feather

No one knows this better than Big
Tom and Mrs Gobbler. For themselves
they had no fear. They had 50 often

worry about the young Gobblers. So
over and over again they charged the
youngsters that if ever they should be

not move, no matter how frightened

Then he hooted.
''Whooo- hoo-hoo, whooo- -hoo," rang
out his dreadful hunting call.
To every one of those Gobblers it
seemed to be in their very ears. Into
the midst of pleasant dreams it broke
the most dreadful sound that the young
Gobblers ever had heard. Were they
frightened? Would you be frightener
If some one yelled fiercely In your ear
while you were asleep?
They were $50 frightened that 1t

when Hooty was at some distance.
This gave them change to learn what
his voice was like; but always it sent
little cold shivers over them and they
hoped that they never would hear it
any nearer. They were afraid that If
they did they would move in spite of
themselves.
Now. on the night that Hooty started
out to hunt for the Gobblers 1t Just
happened that at last he alighted In
the top OF the very tree in which the
Gobblers were roosting. He didn't
know it because between him and them
were many branches. They didn't know
it because they were fast asleep with

Keep baby's clothing down to

that goes double measure for his

The fewer visitors baby has in
summer the better. Unnecessary
handling should be discouraged,
even by his adoring family. After
he is washed, patted dry,
powdered and dressed in his
diaper and slip, give him a
drink of cool water that has
been boiled, and leave him
strictly alone to kick, or play
with his toes, or to doze off into
pleasant dreams.
