HENRY ALDRICH
FILM NOW ON AT
10Th CENTURY

What shouldn't happen to a dog
seems to happen to Henry Aldrich
in his new Paramount comedy,
Henry Aldrich Swings It." which
opened Sunday at the goth Cen
tury Theatre to the vast entertain
ment of the audience.
Henry, as portrayed by Jimmy
Lydon, is up to new tricks that are
funnier than ever to everyone but
him. His latest escapade involves
him in the disappearance of $l0,-
900 Stradivarius owned by great
violinist, Josef Altman CFritz Feld)
Henry simply picks it up, believing
it to be his own cheap fiddle, and
uses il to play swing band en-
gagement at a shady inn. When
the inn is raided, Henry and the
boys rush to get away, leaving their
instruments behind them.
An insurance company detective
is put on the trail of the missing
Strad, a trail which leads directly
to the unsuspecting Henry. Henrys
problems include the necessity for
keeping to himself the fact of his
presence in the -padlocked inn
Because of that, everything he says
land does only serves to strengthen
the detectives belief in his guilt.
