Nevertheless. there is one
whale Of a gap in Hollywood's
movie output. It is the British
q great people with a superb gift
of ilonsense-who keep filing it,
quite possible because they do it
better than any one else.
The sphere in question is
sophisticated comedy. or farce,
the kind of work that Cary
Grant. Irene Dunno and a num-
Der OF other native film employees
used to be able to get. Grant,
Miss Dunno and the others are
not starving, Heaven be praised,
but neither are they working.
Everybody knows that adage

y ~
Para oxically, dispirited
thoughts like this are induced by
an extremely cheerful piece of
English nonsense. Always Al
Bride" current at the Mac
Arthur Theater. It is a clever.
funny thing about how a charm
ing old reprobate and his lovely
daughter go around bilking
people in the ritziest resort
circles. It is the more amusing
because the daughter who has an
aversion to this way of making
q handsome living is nevertheless
dutlful enough to do her fathers
bidding.
In this day and age when the
only minds children have are
minds of their own, it is en-
couraging to see a man like
Ronald Squire whose is able to
charm his own daughter. 1t is
the more impressive in that the
daughter, played by Peggy Cum
minis, is obviously the type who
could so easily strike out on her
own.
AS usual in these sophisticated
charades. the cards are cum
ningly stacked in favor of the
mountebank team, masterminded
by Squire. From the moment he
explains his unfailing success
with women, this middle-aged
roue has everyone on his side. His
is such a simple secret: "If they
are young and innocent, pre-
tend to know everything. If they
are old and wise, pretend to
know nothing"
His first scheme is to register
with his daughter as his young
bride at Monte Carlos top hotel,
desert her on their apparent we'd
ding night. and leave it to the
hotels other tenants to shower
her with money, jewels, cham
payne, etc., to assuage her grief.
Ideas like this have not been
occurring too often recently to
writers of movie scripts. Watch
ing this one work out is quite
q cheerful business and suggests
there is nothing like bride in
distress to touch the hearts of
the Riviera rich.
Considerably less fresh is the
second situation injected into the
plot. This one involves the time
worn device Of selling Nice ho-
tel, which of course the couple
does not own, to new rich ty-
coon who buys it with counter
felt money. This has been writ
ten much more sparklingly by
others. but the authors Of "Al-
ways A Bride" have an excellent
cast to fall back upon here.
