 Comedy

In a far fetched and fast mov- ing story made for comedy, Dem his Morgan, Shirley Ross and Jane Wyatt are coming to 20th Century Theatre tomorrow in Kisses for Breakfast" The story deals with an amnesia victim who marries not one, but two wives. Miss Ross and Miss Wyatt respectively.
 When two wives arrive on the scene of the honeymoon, it natur- ally results in a free-for-all, ex- pertly handled and hilariously fun ny, with Morgan. as Rodney Trask,' the amnesia victim who has too many wives, getting most of the blows.
 Dennis Morgan's singing and his engaging pers onality add the touch of reality needed to the wacky story, but good direction by Lew S Seller also goes far toward mak- ing it an excellent comedy.
 Supporting the three stars are Lee Patrick, Jerome Cowan, Una O'Connor, Barnett Parker and Ro- maine Calender.
 On the screen tonight at the 20th Century are Dead Men Tell a Charlie Chan mystery and "The Fargo Kid" starring Tim Holt.
