Till the Clouds Roll By makes

BY MARJORIE MILTON

You won't want to spend a lot
of time searching for this one,
but if it turns up in your neigh
borhood, you could do lot
worse. It'll the Clouds Roll By
is tuneful, technicolored and
agreeable way to spend an eve
ming.
The life story of composer Je-
rome Kern provides the back
ground for some of the screens
finest talent, including Frank ST
natra, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore,
Robert Walker and Van Johnson,
to mention only a few.
Unlike most screen biographies,
the suffering is kept to a mini
mum and Mr.. Kern, as played by
Robert Walker, seems to have
had very pleasant life indeed.
This should make the audience,
as well as Mr.. Kern, very happy.
THE production numbers are
tied up through the device of
Kern's "reminiscences to a synpa-
thetic taxi driver and the footage
given over to this part of the
movie adds up to less than two
reels. The resultant saving is
very sensibly devoted to the ia
Tented numbers which everybody
came to see, anyway.
We think this departure from
the overworked formula Of
screen musicals is very welcome.
And you'd have to go long way
to find so many top-flight enter
tainers in one film.

He doesn't blame these who

Shows are sometimes transfer

they have created the impression

great hope for actors, except
that there may be swing back
to Chicago in the event of a de-

radio actor, stated that creative

1t is to the interest of city OF

The Christmas shopping sea-

the same quality and quantity
enjoyed in pre-war years, Hunt
said.
There may be a few items

disc this Christmas season will
be more complete"
The finance committee and the

mittee of the merchants associa-
ton have worked hard to stream
line all phases of the holiday
shopping activities for the con-
venience of the throngs of south
eastern North Carolina shoppers
who regard Wilmington as the

he said.
