Stressing its delightful ro-
nance along with its gay Jer-
ONE Kern tunes and its spec
tacular dance numbers, Anna
Neagle's new Sunny" Is hailed
as an exceptionally attractive
filmusical, and as something of
an innovation in screen enter
tainment, being very different
from any of Miss Neagle's ear
lier vehicles.
The movie opened a four day
run at the Jewel on Wednes-
day.
Seven unique dance routines
and the four song hits of the
original show, including the
memorable "Who?" are woven
into the plot of the story, laid
against the colorful background
of New Orleans during the Mar
di Gras season.
Sunny Is a dancer with ira
yelling carnival company play
ing the Louisiana city when she
meets Larry Warren, a rich
young socialite, in the hectic
whirl of a Mardi Gras crowd.
The two fall Immediately in love
and, against the wishes of Lar
rvs sister and of the carnival
manager, they plan to marry at
once.
But Sunny is worried over
her place in the smart social
~circles in which Larry dwells,
and when the whole carnival
troupe arrive boisterously to at
tend the wedding, she gives up
and runs away, going back to
her original job. But at this
point Larry's highly unconven-
tional old aunt takes hand, and
the result makes for the delight
full ending to this very out-of-
the-ordinary tune-film.
The picture features Ray Boil
ger, John Carroll, Edward Ever
EFT Horton and The Hartmans
at the head of its distinguished
cast. Ray Bolger plays the part
of the sympathetic carnival
manager and John Carroll that
of Larry-roles that afford Boil
gers dancing ability and Car
rolls fine baritone voice notable
opportunities for display. Hor-
ton is seen as Carrolls fussy
friend, while Paul Hartman
portrays a magician with the
carnival and Grace Hartman q

the noted team of dance satir-
lists scoring in two hilarious rou-
tines. Frieda Inescort and Hell

romance of Virginia in the days

so innocent that she spends most of
her time in tears over imagined in

There are slight complications.

York IUeS WdShburn.
Based largely on the personal notes
of Debussy's second wife, Mr.. Dunes
nils account of the great French
impressionist composer is colored
throughout with a personal shade
Less concerned with the artistic
growth of a musical stature than
the everyday life of a genius, the
author here traces Debussy's traits
as a human being: Lover of ma
ture, friends and family.
Mr.. Dumesnil, widely-traveled con-
cert pianist and lecturer, is an un-
concealed lover of Debussys music
and, as such, couches his biographi-
cal narrative in sympathetic terms.
Frequently, this admiration becomes
annoyingly evident in the authors
CLOSING over of unpleasantries, such
as the composers first marriage
and the severance of relations with
his patrons, the Washers. In the
eyes of the writer, Debussy appar-
emily is above association with ugly
experiences. However, the reader
will find many of the smaller de-
tails connected with the composers
private existence in the pages of
this book-detail that has been
overlooked by other biographers.
