Only something is wrong. Helen has fallen deeply in love with him, and Hank suddenly develops a conscience. He's never had any trouble with it before, but now the darn thing starts nagging. "You're a heel," it says nastily. And he knows it's right. Only — maybe he's in love himself, for the first time. Maybe. . . . Lots of funny lines and a quick moving plot make this a picture you'll want to see right away. — RKO. P. S. Bob Young, usually one of Hollywood's most upstanding young men, was required, for the first time in his career, to play a wolf. One morning after several weeks of a most convincing performance, he found himself face to face with the cartoon of a leering wolf tacked up on his dressingroom door. A little investigation proved that co-star Laraine Day had asked a studio artist to make the drawing for her to hang on the door. The caricature remained there for the rest of the picture. . . . Ann Harding returned to the RKO lot for the first time in ten years, not expecting any of her old co-workers to remember her. Among the friends who did come by to welcome her back, was property man George Gabe, who brought with him a set chair with Miss Harding's name on it. UNCLE HARRY The play which was such a success on Broadway has been made into an engrossing picture. George Sanders was a smart choice for the lead. It's a different kind of role from anything he's done before, but he gives an adept, highly polished performance. Ella Raines and Geraldine Fitzgerald are helpful in many ways. Somehow, you can't imagine a man whom a whole town calls "Uncle Harry," committing murder. Until you see the events which lead up to the tragedy — then you only wonder why he didn't do it earlier. Harry Quincy is a mild, pleasant, middleaged man. He lives quietly in the big old Quincy house with his two sisters, Lettie and Hester. He works in the design department of a mill which manufactures china, and supports his two sisters with his earnings. A nice, average guy, you would have said. A little too much under his sister Lettie's thumb, maybe, but Lettie dominates the whole household. Fat, gossipy Hester comes off a poor second. Lettie is a brilliant woman who loves her brother with a violent, proprietary passion that leaves no room in her mind for anything else. It never occurs to her that Harry might marry — until Deborah comes to town. Deborah (Ella Raines) is from New York. She is beautiful and chic and intelligent, and why she falls in love with Harry is anyone's guess. But she does, and she has no intention of letting his sister break it up. She doesn't, however, realize either Lettie's ruthlessness or the extent of her power over Harry. He and Deborah became engaged. Months passed. Finally Deborah puts it up to him. Tonight or never. That afternoon Lettie has a heart attack. Not a fatal one, but the marriage has to be postponed. Deborah goes back to New York and a little later marries someone else. That is when Harry's brain snaps. There is poison in the house, and he uses it. Only — there's a mix-up, and it's Hester who dies. Letty is accused of her murder. It's a finely knit situation, and the climax doesn't let you down. — Univ. YOU CAME ALONG Lizabeth Scott, Hollywood's newest quadruple threat in the glamor department, is featured with Robert Cummings in this story of three returned fliers and the girl one of them falls in love with. The fliers — Bob (Robert Cummings), "Shakespeare" (Don De Fore), and "Handsome" (Charles Drake), are sent out on a bond selling tour. They are told that I. V. Hotchkiss will be in charge of the tour, but I. V. turns out to be Ivy, a gal who could be attractive if she bothered. The fliers, especially Bob, are very fond of girls, so it takes Ivy just days to win their friendship. Meanwhile she has her troubles getting them to show up for speeches at the bond rallies. She usually has to head an expedition through the night clubs because wherever the shapeliest chorus is to be found, there will be the boys. Bob has a little black book which produces blondes, brunettes and red-heads in each new city they reach. Comes a night, though, when Bob asks Ivy for a date. That's quite a concession for Bob, who likes 'em glamorous. Shakespeare and Handsome decide to play Cupid by fixing Ivy up the way a girl ought to look. They send a whistle-jerking evening gown and Ivy gets a new hairdo, and the result entrances even the hard-to-get Bob. He remains entranced and by the time they get to San Francisco, he and Ivy are truly in love. There's something odd about Bob, though. A tinge of bitterness in his gaiety. A lost look Ivy has surprised now and then on his handsome face. One day by sheer accident she finds out the reason. Bob has an obscure blood disease which won't respond to treatment. He'll die in a year — or maybe a month. She realizes that he would especially hate her knowing about it. So she pretends ignorance, and persuades him to marry her. After all, nobody expects to live forever. — Par. P. S. This is a noteworthy production for several reasons. Main one is that it heralds Robert Cummings' return to the screen after a two-year absence as an Army flight instructor. . . . Audiences will get their first glimpse of charming Lizabeth Scott who, though she had no previous screen experience, Hal Wallis considered so exciting a discovery he put her into a I SAW IT HAPPEN A few War Bond drives ago, Gail Patrick made an appearance here in Toronto to help out. During her visit, there was a Royal Canadian Air Force dance held at one of the larger bases here. I was at the dance, but did not have any idea that she would actually attend until a group of airmen whizzed by me, trying to catch a glimpse of her. Leaving my escort, I started to look frantically around. I had never seen a movie star before and in the excitement and the press of the crowd, I practically fainted. Suddenly, as I backed through the crowd, I received the sweetest smile I've ever seen. It was Miss Patrick, who amazed me by saying breathlessly, "I guess it serves us both right for walking backwards in a crowd." She is really tops, and after that, I didn't mind being shoved around at all. Rita Lawrence Toronto, Ontario, Canada
