dent to the girl. She is placed
under the care of a doctor, Alan
Napier, and even a seance is
held to determine the cause of
her obsesSion. Only one person,
Cornelia Otis Skinner, has the
answer, having nursed Gail un-
til the time of her mothers
death. The investigation works
starts and the parts of the odd
puzzle are slowly assembled.
The haunting of Windward
House, meanwhile, increases in
intensity and it is just about
this time when the weird story
reaches a sensational climax.
The excellent characterizations
of Miss Skinner and Donald
Crisp are really high points in
a film which gives Ray Milland
and Ruth Hussey an oppor-
tunity to portray their roles in
a sensitive and heart-warming
manner. And for movie-goers
there is an added thrill in see-
ing Gail Russell, in her first fea-
tured role, as charming and
beautiful young lady who cap
lures Rays heart.
There is no doubt that "The

Before much time had elapsed,
the entire cast of this Charles

hep to the jive.
With the intense motion and
frenzied rhythm of the Utter
bug, 1914 style, young dancers
on the set gave out to the jive
tunes of Sammy Kaye and the
tom tom beats of Chuck Faulk-
ner. First, Sammy Kaye with
mis- "dignified" orchestra sent
out a sweep of melodious strains
in Swing and Sway style, while
the dancers jiggled and wiggled.
Then Chuck Faulkner, maestro
of the Hollywood Canteen band,
gave the signal for a rumbling,
laundering volley of rhythm
which was something right out

and Kaye Popp, of jitterbug
fame, who add something new
to the hectic dance scene in this
film. It's called The Rhythmic
