HOLLYWOOD, July 1-As pie lures go, Paramount's "The Well Groomed Bride" is better than the average Glass A" comedy. Don't conclude that I am banning it be- cause I choose it as an exhibit in trying to make point.
 It suffers from the same ailment that afficts 99 out of every 100 pie lures Made in Hollywood it'ss denouement is completely obvious from the start. Af- ter viewing the first reel, every fan in the audience will know exactly who the story is going to turn out. He will be in precisely the same position as the person who, after reading two or three chapter of a novel, then turns to the conclusion and leaves himself with no further interest than an academic curiosity regarding the mechanics used to reach the pre- determined goal.
 In the case of the picture, type casting is partly to blame. Sonny Tufts plays the big, dumb ex-foot- ball star whom the girl intends to marry when Fate throws her into the company of sharp-witted Ray Milliand. Automatically, having seen Tufts do the same characteri- zation umpteen times, you know he's going to lose the girl. The ele- ment of surprise is completely lack ink.
 contend that Hollywood pro- ducers and writers, through sheer indolence which keeps them in beaten paths where story construc- tion and casting are concerned, are robbing theater -goers of one of the principal clements of good enter tainment.

Green Years"
 The screen adoption of the best seller novel has all the warth, zest and humor of the original tale of Robert Shannon, thu orphaned youngster who is at first intimidat- ed by his foster family, particularly by its domineering m triarc Grandma Leckie, who sends him to school in a suit made from one of her own beflowered petticoats; but who, after precipitous years of child hood and adolescence, finds his true career with the help of his adoring great-grandfat ther
 Coburn's portrait of the colorful octogenarian is a glowing one, while Drake, as Shannon, is sensitive and appealing. Equally fine is the work done by little Dean Stockwell, play ing Shannon in his childhood stages. The story is further brought to life in the portrayal of Beverly Tyler.

Their owner spent the first two weeks on location training the poodle to sneeze on signal for a scene in the film and the poodle finally mastered the trick. Just about that time, the fox terrier, which has a very impor- tant part, began sneezing, too, and no one could decide whether he actually had contracted a cold, or whether he had merely picked up the other pooch's trick. Production stopped for four hours until a hastily summoned veterinary had examined the terrier and found him okay.
