MADELEINE CARROLL,
 FRED MacMURRAY In
 COMEDY AT COLISEUM

In the subtle art of combining comedy with romance, Fred Mac Murray and Madeleine Carroll yield to few screen teams-and they proved it again to the satisfaction of local moviegoers in Paramount's slick new comedy romance, Honey moon m Bali" which opened Sun day at the Coliseum Theatre. 9l
 Fred and Madeleine, 1t will be recalled, were teamed for the first time not so long ago in Cafe Society' in which they scored ] triumph. Their latest picture gave them chance to make the most of the experience they gained work ing together ill the first, and they come through in grand style. Fred is at his best as 6 carefree adven- turer just returned from Bali, a fellow who believes that a womans place is in a mans arms. Madeleine who has been called the screen s most beautiful woman, Is ideally cast as smart, snug, department store executive, a girl who won't sacrifice her indeper ience for love. Allan Jones is co-starred, cast ap- propriately enough, as an opera smger.
 The romantic and comic com- plications start to mesh when Madeleine, warned that her attitude toward men is all wrong, goes to, fortune teller and learns that a tall, dark man with a knife wound on his right arm will enter her life. Madeleine scoffs, but it lsnt very long before she meets Fred MacMurray, tall and dark, back from Bali with knife wound in his right arm and she falls for him.
