The Bride Came {. 0. D. Is Clever Comedy
 on Screen Here

For James Cagney and Bette Davis, "The Bride Came C.OD."| marks their first co-starring effort, and according to all advance re- ports, the team sets a new record for smooth coordination in getting the most out of the clever comedy script. The gag film is now at the 2Oth Century Theatre.
 "The Bride Came COD" tells the amusing tale of spoiled young debutante with more dollars than sense and an aviator with just the opposite combination. She is about to elope with self-infatuated bandleader, who hires Cagney to fly them to Las Vegas. But Gag ney, desperately in need of funds in order to keep up payments on his plane, decides it will be more profitable to deliver the bride back home to her doting papa. He gets her father on the phone and clinches the deal. He VII be paid ten dollars pound, C.ODY for delivering the wouldbe bride, un- married. By simple ruse, he gets Bette in the plane first, and flies off, leaving the bewildered bridegroom gaping on the ground. Positive that she is being kid mapped by a desperate criminal an illusion which Cagney does mo- thing to shatter-she attempts a parachute jump and lands safely but painfully in bed of cactus. Cagney makes a forced landing, and knocks his plane out of com mission.
