way of stopping everyone's mer-
riment at her expense Is to gel
confederation from Morgan who
cannot give it because his par
is top Navy secret.
From this promise, the story
settles into a conflict between thu
girls desire to save her reputation
and the hero's need to protect the
national defense.
It is periodically quite amusing
as conflicts go.

There Is nothing to dampen
your mood of holiday gayety about
''The Lady Takes a Sailor" the
Christmas comedy which opened
yesterday at the Warner Theater.
Truly the picture which stars
Jane Wyman and Dennis Morgan
is not an unalloyed piece of
hilarity but it has more moments
of fun and festivity than many
another which has called itself
a smash comedy.
This is the work not only of
Miss Wyman and Morgan. two
clever players, but also Of writer's
Everett Freeman and Jerry Grus-
kin. Between them they imagined
a couple of agreeably fresh char
acters for their story, the heroine
one of those efficient beauties who
tries to dominate American busi-
ness and the hero a Navy re-
searcher who cuts her down to
mere woman size.
The latter, played by Morgan,
seems an especially wise choice
of comedy character since he per-
mits the action to take q sub
marine dive where the underwater
life and Miss Wyman both seem
quite comic. The latter naturally
is the more sophisticated and she
gives 'The Lady Takes a Sailor"
several touches of this thing with
Michael Curtiz, the director, is
not above accenting.
This might be described as CIV
ing the picture balance In that
while the youngsters are laugh
ing at the blow fish and the octu-
pus, their elders may, find the
double-edged dialogue amusing.
Much of the latter is handled by
Eve Arden who has made q sue
cess of the trick of never using
a soft word. She is just the right
playmate here for the principals.
AS the brilliantly efficient
young business woman who gets
herself endowed by foundations,
Miss Wyman is the zestful
comedienne she was before
Johnny Belinda" She is as
much at home at a directors
meeting as in bubble bath and
her life is set In straight. clear
lines until she is wrecked in Long
Island Sound by Morgan's one
man submarine.
The story she tells when the
Coast Guard rescues her on the
beach strikes the press and the
rest Of New York as hardly a suit
able adventure for q female busi-
ness executive. Yet her only way
