The plot of this affair Is of little
enough consequence, merely being
concerned with the efforts Of
couple of uninhibited ghosts to
straighten out the financial affairs
that Mr.. Morgan has left in sad
state when overtaken by his fatal
heart attack. But the plot does pro-
vide an ample playground for Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Wynn. Karen
DeWolf's screenplay has provided
some lively antics for the two and
Director S. Sylvan Simon has seen
to it that they perform them with
considerable spirit.
Morgan and Wynn are quite able
fellows with a comedy situation, OF
course, and this little fable, wherein
they are permitted to romp about
shouting at people who don't notice
them, must have seemed very much
like field day to them. The ghost
ly character, assigned to Mr.. Wynn
is an especially comic one, a spirit
with talent for concentrating and
bringing forth transforms and a
disposition marked by sort of af-
fable irascibility. It is he, when
some one mentions the odd storm,
who remarks with a mixture OF Bit
terness and pride, What does she
want with her storms, certificate
of authenticity?"

The headline attraction in the
new Capitol stage show is Jack Du-
rant, whose comedy routine prob
ably is familiar to all of the the
ater's patrons. The others are
Renee de Marco, who dances while
Jimmy Bulrell sings; Lou and Lii
van Bernard, harmonica experts,

in Blue" no doubt is just what the
producing studio expected of re-
viewers. The picture was made, OF
course, for audiences, which are no.
toriously indifferent to musical plots
and concentrate instead upon the
singing and dancing, the costumes
and the lavish settings. The Pal
aces picture has all the latter in q
kind of superabundance and it also
has romance in three variations,
the slapstick, the poignan and the
merrily melodious.
1t also has, for marquee strength,
such names as those of June Haver,
George Montgomery, Vivian Blaine,
Celeste Holm, Vera-Ellen and Frank
Latimore.
The formula, with which Three
Little Girls in Blue" fairly reeks,
has rarely had SO much star power.
The chief virtues OF the new
Daryl Zanuck musical, and justi-
flying feelings of gratitude toward
the man, are those represented by
Vera-Ellen and Celeste Holm. The
former represents cuteness incar-
nate and can dance rather better
and more comically than any movie
newcomer in a long time. Miss
Holm, who won her first obeisance
as Ado Annie in "Okla homa!" shows
herself to be a comedienne of rare
inspiration. Her role in Three
Little Girls" amounts to no more
than q spot, but it enables her to

Kiss And Tell"
 Designed For Laughs

When Kiss And Tell', Col umbia's picturization of the Broadway stage hit, played for the first time at local army and navy posts, it caused more ccm- ment over it's laugh-provoking qualities than any other picture over long period of time.
 The situation that starts the fun is full of possibilities-a young girl, pledged to secrecy about her brothers marriage to the girl next door because of a family feud, is seen coming from doctors office and when con fronted with the rumors admits the woist-and names her gan gling boy friend as responsible for her plight.
 Comedy flies high and stays there until the final fade out when telegram comes to save the day.
 Shirley Temple plays the lead of Corliss Archer, and proves herself adept at comedy. Jerome Courtland, the boy next door, is l a newcomer who walks away with acting honors and gamers loads of laughs. The families of the two are represented by Wal ter Abel. Katharine Alexander, Edna Holland and Robert Ben chley, who decide the best must be made of things but who only make them worse with their bumbling efforts.
