THE CAST.

terests which can only lead to fur
ther trouble, which is where it leads
as fast as Director Pichel can move
the picture through the cliches.
The first of these to manifest itself
is group of Confederate Daughters
whose alteration of the husband is
quite disturbing to the wife. This
infatuation has its merry side, even
for her, especially when one group
OF Southern women present the poor
husband with the stuffed horse of
famous Civil War general. To Off
set the joke of that, however, there
is a young, fiery belle among the
donors, who insists upon flinging
her heart at the handsome his
torian. Her unbridled (horse talk
passion takes the form of kissing
the author even without the Slight
est excuse.
That's the thing that breaks up
the jeff Warrens, but it is not in
the nature of romantic farce or the
Hollywood code, to let a rift like
that stand. A way must be found to
reunite them, for the sake of the
children as well as themselves. That
is no trick for Director Pichel's lit
erary crew, which decides to let the
horse-hating husband love one
enough to ride in the Virginia Chal-
lenge Cup race.
The thin plot of The Bride Wore
Boots" requires lot of padding, and
most of the stock gags of farce are
seized upon for this purpose. A lot
is made of the loyalty of Southern
womanhood to handsome young au-
thors who write of the War Between
the States. Most of it has to do
with the attachment of the young
Mary Lou Medford Diana Lynn
for the hero, played by Robert Cum
mings. Both, by the way, make val
liant efforts to live up to the over
drawn characters, she the infatu-
ated clinging vine, he the harrassed
author who wishes she would find
something else to cling to.
Miss Stanwyck, looking more ill at
ease than her public has been
taught to expect, meets the chal-
lenge of the wife role with becom-
ing courage. The biggest burden of
the role is the excessive coyness it
calls for, especially at those several
moments when she finds intrepid
Mary Lou in a frenzied clinch with
the husband.
What there is to steal of THE
Bride Wore Boots" is picked up by
the horse, Albert, in the climactic
Challenge Cup race. In the 4-mile
jumping event Albert proves him.
self the horse of the century-or
Hollywood's conception of it at least
by pausing three times to hold
long conferences with his rider and
still finishing first.
Albert would be a cinch in the
Grand National. a tip you might
bear in mind in case you ever are
tricked into buying one of those
lottery tickets.
X X
Whatever the deficiencies of the
plot and treatment, The Bride
Wore Boots" is an expensively cast
picture. In addition to the prin-
cipals mentioned, a few of the 9TH
ers Paramount hired for the chore
include Peggy Wood, the late Rob-
ert Benchley, Patrick Knowles, and
Willie Best.
None of them bother with a Vir-
ginia accent.

David Niven and Douglas Fair
banks. jr., are discussing deal to
make pictures together. David wants
to play the lead in might and the
City" by Gerald Kersh. But first
he plays the bishop in ''The Bishops
Wife" for Sam Goldwyn. The
next and perhaps the last OF the
Thin Man series is called, 1.-The Song

mostly in jive palace. That should
be something new in settings for
William Powell and Myrna 10y! ~.
Every time any one mentions the
two Brooks sisters, Geraldine and
Gloria, the information is added
that they don't really have to work
because each owns per cent of the
stage musical "Oklahoma!" and 2
per cent of "Carousel" Anyway,
Geraldine is working in Cry Wolf"
with Enrol Flynn and Barbara Stan
wyck and now sister Gloria is max
ing a screen test for Universal.
"The Golden City," story of inf1a-
ton, racketeers and black markets,
has been offered to John Garfield
and if it reads as good as it sounds,
he'll accept. And by the way,
Johns picture at Warmers. "Hu-
moresque," with Joan Crawford,
contains exactly one hour and 20
minutes of classical music. Is that
a record? :. David Butler, ace di-
rector, has received an offer to go to
England to direct the racing story,
Blood Will Tell" If any one can
direct this, Dave is the boy. He
owns a string of horses and next to
making pictures he'd rather be out
on the race track. Next Butler chore
is "Wallflower." staring Jane Wy
