dunno, M'MURRAY,
CO-STAR IN DRAMA
Invitation to Happiness
At Maryland Last
of Next Week

Irene Dunno and Fred MacMur
ray will be co-starred for the first
Ime in the Paramount drama,
Invitation to Happiness" which
opens next Thursday at the Mary
land Theatre.
Invitation to Happiness" is q
human drama that should appeal
TO all fiImgoers for it deals with
tne sort OF problems that face Mr..
and Mrs. John Doe.
Fred MacMurray is an ambitious
prizefighter who works, dreams
ABOUT and hopes to become cham
piOn. Then one day his comfort
able routine is upset. He meets
charming, aristocrat Irene Dunno.
Fred and Irene are as utterly
different as two people can be. lie
never got beyond grade school, his
parents were poor, his outlook On
life is naive and self-centered.
Irene, on the other hand, had been
sent to the best and most eXpen-
sive schools in the world, her folks
are wealthy, and her attitude is
anything but naive. Though they
know how foolhary they are, Fred
and Irene get married. For
while they are as happy as the
story book prince, and princess.
Then the clouds of reality begin
to gather.
Fred goes into training for his
next fight. Then he has to travel
to another town for other bouts.
The years slip by, and Fred is not
yet champ. His home is almost
on the rocks. for he has had little
time to see his wife or boy. In
fact, his son has begun to hate him
for the misery and anxiety his
father causes his mother.
