LLOYD Bacon, who directed IAN
Innocent Affair" Is smart enough
to know that his best bet Tor re-
deeming It from its entire lack OF
surprise is in keeping it moving ut
a frenzied pace. This he achieves,
and now and then he even becomes
modestly inventive.
There is reasonable cleverness, for
instance, in the gag in which the
tobacco tycoon who Is mistaken Tor
the gigolo, not only sends roses to
the stormy heroine, but at the same
time sends her husband his firm's
81, ,00o, 600 advertising account. There
Is something warming about morn
ing latter gifts Of such dimensions,
and surely Miss Carroll and Mac
Murray are up to getting the most
out Of an idea like this.
The element Of chase, or pursuit,
also is played heavily in AN Inno-
cent Affair" At times 1t is played
so heavily that the scampering re-
sembles q quadrangular cross-coun-
try run between four small colleges
no one ever heard Of, and 1t turns
out to be Just about as interesting.
The final race, Of course, is that

possible. Just for laughs, but largely
in vain, every one slugs every one
else in this passage, which ends up
with the hero and heroine in q

Miss Carroll and MacMurray, old
