'Eternally Yours" Unfolds
Lively Romantic Comedy

Walter Wagner's new comedy ro-
nance, "Eternally Nours," which
opens Sunday and Monday at the
Kootenai theatre, is most welcome
addition to film fare. 1t is fast
moving, sparkling modern-day COM
edy, brilliantly directed, smartly
mounted and played by cast of
outstanding stars and players.

are the starring duo, and both of
these top-notch actors turn in grand

spectacular magic and his ingratiat-
ing personality. He falls in love
with and marries a stunning girl
whom he meets at one of his matt
nees, and thereafter his success

all the brilliant capitals of the world
grows more and more hectic. But
while the magician, known as the
Great Arturo, thrives in this at
mosphere, Anita, his wife, begins to
long for peace and quiet.
"Eternally Yours" is not only de-
lightful entertainment in an excit-
ingly romantic vein, it is brilliant
spectacle. For the new picture fea-
lures some of the most thrilling
scenes in motion pictures in long
time. The scenes showing Arturo
performing his magic for his audi
enees are presented with unusual
lighting effects and telling suspense.
