State . Japanese invasion, but the picture remains only a fair offering. Montgomery stumbles on a nest of Jap spies in China in the persons of Lynn Bari and Victor McLaglen, who try to get him into their clutches to turn over to their boss in Tokio for questioning. The romance between Montgomery and the breathlessly lovely Gene never progresses beyond the lukewarm stage, and the ending will doubtless leave the movie-goer feeling a little frustrated. Tierney fans won't want to miss this, at any rate. THE POWERS GIRL •*1/4 United Artists | Despite the half a dozen longstemmed Powers models draped through the film and Benny Goodman and his fabulous swing band beating it out, The Powers Girl doesn't quite live up to expectations. Even with such glamour and melody, it lacks a certain sparkle. The cast tries hard, however. Anne Shirley is a country schoolmarm whom George Murphy, a candid cameraman, photographs in acompromising, though actually innocent, situation. This loses Anne's job for her and she leaves for the big city to join her sister, a would-be model (Carole Landis), who wants to be a "Powers Girl." The sister realizes this ambition through the cameraman, and the situation is complicated when both girls fall in love with him. Throughout, the Powers girls are eyefilling and decorative, especially in the big spectacular musical sequence. HAPPY GO LUCKY <fc*y£ Paramount | Happy Go Lucky is as easy-going as its title. Its tunes are easy to listen to, the cast amiable, the story light-hearted. It all takes place on a Caribbean island, where life floats along without an effort. Mary Martin is an ex-hat check girl who lands on the island all set to snare a rich husband. Dick Powell and Eddie Bracken play a couple of island loafers who agree to help her. Betty Hutton is a showgirl who has her eye (as usual) on Bracken. Powell, who hasn't been seen on the screen of late, is good in a role that offers only a minimum of warbling. Mary carries on most of the musical conversation, with Betty putting in an occasional novelty song. Rudy Vallee again plays a stuffedshirt millionaire, in which role he is rapidly becoming typed. Mary sets her cap for him, but true love, in the form of Powell, changes her mind for her. Happy Go Lucky is fun when you're in the mood for light entertainment. Miniature Reviews •••• IN WHICH WE SERVE (United Artists) Cast: Noel Coward, John Mills. This moving documentation of the British Navy in action ranks as the greatest film of the war. Filmed in England with an all-English cast, it is the life and death account of a valiant destroyer. Don't miss it. MRS. MINIVER (M-G-M) Cast: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright. Jan Struther's best seller adapted into a vibrant, poignant film that brings the war home. Showing how the English people can take it, it's one of the finest war films to date. Greer Garson is a good bet for the Academy Award. [Continued on page 82] i * ' ft THAT WAS ME, all right ! Especially, when it came to taking a laxative. I used to punish myself with the worst-tasting medicine. And how that stuff would weaken and upset me ! Aside from its awful taste, it was just too strong! THEN I ADDED INSULT to injury ! I went to the other extreme and started taking what turned out to be a "namby-pamby" laxative. I thought it would be easier on me, but it failed to give me relief. It was just too mild! FINALLY, ONE OF THE GIRLS at the plant put me wise to Ex-Lax ! Now, there' 's a laxative for you ! It's such a cinch to take . . . tastes just like swell chocolate. And it does its job so well — without knocking you out ! Ex-Lax is not too strong, not too mild — it's just right! Ex-Lax is effective — but effective in a gentle way! It won't upset you — won't make you feel bad afterwards. No wonder Ex-Lax is called: THE HAPPY MEDIUM LAXATIVE As a precaution, use only as directed. IF YOU HAVE A COLD AND NEED A LAXATIVE — It's particularly important when you're weakened by a cold not to take harsh, upsetting purgatives. Take Ex-Lax!
