''Incendiary Blonde" Paramount
Picture. with Betty Hutton and Arturo
de Cordova, produced by Joseph Sistrom.
directed by George Marshall. ORIGINAL
Butler. At the Palace.
Evening star., 1945-08-24
By PATRICIA SIMMONS.

There are two good reasons why
"Out of This World" is bound to be
hit and neither is in the picture
at the Capitol this week. A couple
of crooners by the name of Crosby
/ and Sinatra are the missing per-
sons. Mr.. S. provides the story idea
and good one, as we might add,
while Mr. Crosby generously lends
his voice to Eddie Bracken through
out the goofy proceedings.
1t was a brainstorm, this idea OF
a satire on Sinatra. One that would
guarantee plenty of laughs to start
with but when Hollywood picked on
baseful boy Bracken as the swoon-
crooner they literally sewed up the
situation You can put away any
doubts you may have about Crosby
dulcet tones pouring forth from Mr.
Bracken. The comedians a natural.
He simply doesn't have to work for
the laughs. The situations are that
hilarious and yesterdays audience
reacted accordingly.
However, at no time do the pro-
ducers sit back and rest on their
story laurels. There's music and
plenty of 1t. To be exact seven
flrSt-rate tunes harmoniously di-
vided between Mr.. Bracken, alias
Mr.. Crosby, an all-girl orchestra,
an eye-fllling quartet, and Diana
Lynn herself at the piano. Cass
Daley contributes to her share of
the fun with That Goldarn Drum"
and "A Sailor With an Eight Hour
Pass" Crosby's best voice filler I'M
doubtedly is the title song from the
picture "Out of This World"
Also we guess it's safe to say that
Chopin is here to stay. The COM
poser scores again, this time with
a. production number based on the
Minute Waltz" But then how
could he miss with lovely Miss Lynn
at the piano and an instrumental
background of beautiful girls. And
We'll be blessed if that Minute
Waltz" didn't slip into boogie-woogie
for a second or two.
**
II you think Sinatra is the only
oilC Will SOShS tIouOiCS. Wdlt
until you see the life poor Eddie
Bracken is forced to lead! A former
Western Union delivery boy with
not a care in the world, Eddie sud-
denly finds even mere existence try
ing. Thanks to a publicity minded
gal by the name of Veronica Lake
he spends his time being carried
out of public places on stretchers,
hiding behind potted plants, in
short doing all sort Of incredible
things to prevent himself from being
torn to pieces by an adoring mob.
OF course, Bracken isn't the only
one with problems. Miss Lynn
comes in for her share Of compli-
cations. too. It's up to her to pre-
vent 125 per cent OF Mr.. Bracken
from being torn to pieces by his
stockholders as well. A little some
thing she neglected to figure out
when she sold too many shares in
the crooner.
Funniest sequence in the picture
is when Miss Lynn decides the So
luton is for Mr.. Bracken to catch
violent case of pneumonia. This
way he won't be able to sing and
exactly what that proves you have
to wait and see for yourself. Any
way they lose no time in steaming
Eddie in a hot shower and then

tnan TO telling the life story OF the
famous night club hostess.
Every now and then as "Incen-
diary Blond" unfolds, there is a
line of dialogue which goes to the
effect, Hello, sucker" That was
Miss Guinan's way of greeting the
customers and it could be that in
making use of it. the studio is COW
ering a period in the Nations life
as well as telling the story of Miss
Guinan., The Semistory, we mean.
Others who help Miss Hutton to
tell that story are Arturo de Cor
dova, Charles Ruggles, Barry Fitz-
gerald and Albert Decker. 1t adds
up, obviously, to good cast. More
over, it adds up to a picture that
undoubtedly will do well regardless
of the demurrers that may be filed
about Miss Guinan and the speak
easy age.
Miss Hutton beyond question gets
role perfectly suited to her style
of acting in "Incendiary Blond"
The major requirement is that she
shall register vehemence, Miss
Guinan's forte, and she goes it with
an obvious enthusiasm for the as
signment. So do the others in the
cast, which guarantees that what
ever it lacks of subtlety, the Palaces
new musical makes up for in sheer
movement.
Claude Binyon and Frank Butler
wrote the Screenplay which George
Marshall (the other one) directed.
Their work gives you the impress
sion that Miss G. was a tragic fig
ure, a hostess who made a lot of
money, but missed out on the i'm
portant fact of life-love.
The script picks up its heroine in
the year 1909 when she was a blond
child in Texas. She had then a
great enthusiasm for people and
when the rodeo came to town, there
was no holding her. She could sing
the songs that the regular perform
ers were supposed to do, and she
could do it better Moreover, she
could ride the toughest broncho
when the regular rodeo riders were
tossed off on the backs of their
talented neckS. She was destined
to stardom, the story says, and
nothing could keep her from it.
X
AS it would have to do, Paramount
has seized the occasion of Miss
Guinans life to go in for a great
deal of color-technicolor. 1t rather
overdoes the thing in the early Sc
quences, those labored passages in
which the point is being made that
Miss G. was girl who could not
have avoided going to New York
and becoming terrific
The major premise, which is de-
veloped little too painstakingly,
is that Miss Guinan was what she

Wait until you get an eye full of
the lineup Of dolls on stage this
week. The fact that they're really
paper dolls and a part of Wallace's
Puppet Show makes it all the more
amazing. Derita and Scanned range
through the usual line of funny
patter. Where Yvette is concerned
it makes no difference whether the
radio star sings in English or
French. incidentally she settles for
a little bit of both. The show closed
IN fast whirl of acrobatics with
the Peggy Taylor Trio.

was because of an unhappy love
affair. But for the fact that Bill
Kilgannon, her first employer, was
married and did not dare tell her
the truth about it, she might have
remained in Texas. She was doing
well there as a star of the rodeo
show, but when she learned that
love was not for her she had to
go to Gotham.
The story of Miss Guinan's sue
cess in New York may strike
responsive chord in many hearts.
1t was by accident that she be-
came musical comedy triumph,
drifting from there into the middle
of the speak-easy era of rackets
and easy money.

Miss Hutton revels in the oppor-
tunity to play a character in her
own groove and she gives perhaps
the best performance of her career
in the hackneyed heroine of IN
cendiary Blond" There is in the
part an opportunity to sing a num-
