THE Beautiful Blonde From
Bashful Bend" Is musical
comedy with three songs. two
jokes. Betty Cradle legs. a lifting
title and Technicolor. The title
and Miss CRADLES cams are its
greatest assets. The songs are
musical and. since the new pic
ture at the Capitol was written,
directed and produced by Preston
Sturges. the jokes are made TO
cover a lot more territory than
you might expect.
r Each of the films jests hinges
on Miss CRADLES ability as a
crack shot. One is a running gag
in which Miss Cradle keeps in
advertently potting the district
judge in the posterior The other
is a Sturges burlesque of a West
ern gun battle which finds its
fun in reiteration-man Is shot,
falls with a thud, climbs back
up, is shot again. falls in the same
arc with the same thud and so
on and on.
THE Beautiful Blonde From
Bashful Bend" is a light weight
affair. but 1t Is unpretentious and
glimpses Of the Sturges touch
keep shining through. Miss Cradle,
Of course. is the beautiful blonde.
When still an orphan playing with
dolls she is drilled in marksman-

Nudge believes with the most
brutal intensity of all. Success in
his first club fights gives him a
new lust. that of a killer who is
not content merely to win from
his partners. but to provide the
crowd with the most brutal pos
sible spectacle for its money and
its adulation.
It is not long before Nudge is
completely dehumanized. He has
learned not merely the art OF
fighting, but the art of betrayal
He uses both to win his champion
ship in a fight the promoters had
fixed for him to lose. It Is q
double-cross for which any other
man might have been killed. Not
Nudge. His fists and his luck
save him.
What they save him for Is more
depravity. Having deserted his
own loyal wife, he steals the girl
of his two best friends, whose
obvious promiscuity hardly makes
her worth 1t. This affair, and a
later one with the wife Of still
another friend. keep him too busy
to attend the funeral of the
mother whose favorite he was.
And finally. when his loyal
crippled brother sums UP these
blots on Midge's conscience. the
brothers reward Is q brutal beat
ing.
Yet 1t Is the brother who reads
Midge's perfect epitaph-Lard-
ner's most savage piece Of writing
after the latter dies retaining
his championship.
He was every inch cham
pion," the brother says to the
press.
Douglas gives the performance
of a lifetime In the title role
of this case of history of a boxer
It is a masterful blending Of per-
son and profession, of hunger
satisfied with ali the gross foods
It Is put together out Of dozens
OF small details, perfectly matched
from the first scene to the last
Douglas portrait. however
merely sets the standard OF fhe
acting in the picture. Smaller h
size. there is yet the same excel
lence in Arthur Kennedy's i'm
personation of the crippled
brother: Marilyn Maxwell as the
hard blond siren; Ruth Roman
as the pretty. loyal wife: Lola
Albright as the girl who almost
escaped Midge's ego: and Of Paul
Stewart as the decent fight man
ager who could only see justice
in the ultimate death of his hoy.
Author Lardner gave these and
all the others something to work
on. The material and the inspira-
ton on which they worked made
one Of the few must" pictures of
the season.
