Hilarious Comedy Is Theme

a decided setback in the new COM

which opened yesterday at the
Palms-State Theater, along with
the latest revamped Doctor Kill

AS far as laughs are concerned,
Take a Letter, Darling" is a
special delivery. 1t is one Of those
rollicking yarns concerning an adj
vertising executive and the in
dispensable secretary which were
so familiar during the days pre-
.ceeding the current war. This
time, however, the situations have
been reversed. A female boss di-
reefs the destinies of a certain
young male and the resulting con-
flicts are indeed hilarious to say
the least. The dialogue is espe.
cially conspicuous, stressing punch
lines which tend TO carry the en-.

Rough Girls
Take Spot

By JOHN TODD

!" OIL LYW OOD. Sept. s.
There's a new style OF heroine
poking her energetic head into the
Hollywood Spotlight girl who
winds up and takes a healthy
wallop at hero or villain and is
altogether the complete antithesis
of the clinging vine.
Away back in movie history, the
only heroines who ever got into
violent action with men were sweet
young things who fought for their
honor. There were a few active
girls. but they always played in
serials.
Gradually, the girls became more
self-sufficient. Heroines became
working COILS" And then, few
years back. the screen introduced
a few tough birds like James Gag
ney and Clark Gable. who startled
audiences and thereby got famous
by clipping a lassie on the chin
and pushing them around in gen.

For a starter, take a look at a
newcomer named Helen Walker,
who plays opposite Alan Ladd in

She has a startling beauty and
brought plenty of acting ability
from the stage, but the prime
reason for her grabbing off this
prize role as her debut in films
was the fact that she is well-built,
athletic and physically believable
as the sort of maiden who fights
hack at the tough character played
by Alan.
