The news this week, at least that

another. The Russians bomb Finn

trade, Maxi and Nurmi train for
their Finnish relief tour. Other
things: A blizzard hits Japan, the

"His Girl Friday"
On Met Screen

It was a benign day for admirers
Of screwball comedy when Howard
Hawks decided it might be a good
idea to remake "The Front Page
from the woman's angle. It eventu-
ated as "His Girl Friday" now at
the Metropolitan, an amusing farce,
which stars Rosalind Russell and
Cary Grant.
AS In the distant dawn of the
drama written by Ben Hecht and
Charles Macarthur, the newest ver-
sion gives the newspaper business q
thorough going over, painting it as
an institution of the completely in
sane. Miss Russell and Grant are
such agreeable artists, however, that
the portrait is forgivable in spite
of It's inaccuracies. In addition,
there is q foreword, mocking in
tone, which says that the whole

threatens ever to enguf them.
Miss Powell and Mr.. Astaire dance
Ike mad things. like q couple of
people with the very zombies In
their feet, in Broadway Melody of
1940," both separately and in duet.
It is an abundance OF exciting
dancing when these two top-notch
tapsters get together, even on q
giddily over-dressed sound stage.
Further to insure that Broadway
Melody" like love, is q dancing
thing. George Murphy is on hand,
seen to better advantage than he
has been In q long time, perhaps
treated better than the cinema
has ever treated him. Mr.. Murphy's
top moment comes in q dance with
Mr.. Astaire which Is truly a fine
thing and worth the inspection OF
any connoisseur of tap dancing.
Musically, also, Broadway Mel
ody" can boast more than a little.
Spouting from monographs and re-
hearsal pianos come spectacular
orchestral arrangements OF some
new tunes devised by Cole Porter.
The dancers trip their merry way
to such hits as II Concentrate on
You," 1--WE Got My Eyes on You"
and finally to mammoth version
Of Begin the Beguine," which may
or may not. for all We know, be here
because Mr.. Porter Just got bored
with the whole thing and didn't
want to think up new finale tune.
So broadway Melody of 1940' is
quite q festival Of the song and the
dance. In fact, it is almost nothing
but dancing. There are a few mo-
ments of comedy when Frank Nor
gan is about impersonating a the
atrical producer with an ermine
wrap, which he uses as a blond trap
and which he takes home with him
after every date.
But there are not many moments
Of respite from tap dancing in
Broadway Melody Of 1940," and
when respite Is a word used in con-
nection with the dancing OF Miss
Powell, Mr.. Astaire and Mr.. Murphy
you know there is considerable
dancing. Perhaps this is just as
well, however 1t would not do tc
devote too much attention to the
story Of this piece, which is so OBJ

OF whom gets the chance, while the
other nobly saves his pals neck from
behind the scenes only to have his
greater talent finally recognized.
On the Capitol's stage the song
and dance manner is carried on
amidst slightly less lavish trappings
and by persons somewhat less tai
ented than Miss Powell. Mr. Astaire
and Mr.. Murphy. Not until Mr.,
