 Deanna's seventh picture, It's Date,' colorful Universal film with Hawaiian locale, and playing now at the Capitol, is said to have another outstanding musical score passed only after hearings by the studios famous musical jury
 The story begins on Broadway, moves speedily to Maine and fin- ally to Hawaii Deanna and Miss Francis are offered the same stage role by producer, part Deanna tries to refuse when she learns her mother wants to play it. Pretending love for Pidgeon and saying she will give up her career Deanna sets out in pursuit of the hapless Pidgeon, whose love for the mother is secretly returned. Who gets the role, and who gets the man, is un- folded in a surprising and suitable finish to one of the years most entertaining pictures.
