Just a Pretty Stranger —in her own Home Town No girl need risk popularity! MUM every day prevents underarm odor— guards charm! over the tragic death of his first wife. The adaptation faithfully follows the somber book and is definitely one of the films of which Hollywood may be proud. ROAD TO SINGAPORE (Paramount) — Bing Crosby and Bob Hope obviously bring out the best in each other, because neither has ever been quite as enjoyable alone as they are in this laugh-a-second musical of the South Seas. Dorothy Lamour and Judith Barrett are the femme highlights and, needless to say, contribute unsparingly with their charms. SHOOTING HIGH (20th Century-Fox) —Co-starring Gene Autry with Jane Withers seemed like a good idea at the time, but right now it can be marked down as a mistake. The picture just doesn't click, not because of Gene and Jane, especially, but because of the story, direction and dull dialogue. STRANGE CARGO (M-G-M) — A hardened, ^escaped convict from a penal colony proves a fitting follow-up role for Clark Gable after his Rhett Butler assignment. Joan Crawford, co-starred as a cabaret entertainer, puts glamour aside for dramatics and you'll admire her acting tremendously. But it's Ian Hunter, as a Christlike man of mystery, who merits the most superlatives. THE HUMAN MONSTER (Monogram)— An English-made chiller-diller with horror-man Bela Lugosi as the master-mind behind a series of mysterious drownings. Hugh Williams is the Scotland Yard inspector who eventually outwits Bela. It's well done and you won't be disappointed if you're looking for terrifying filmfare. THREE CHEERS FOR THE IRISH (Warners) — No matter what your nationality you'll be genuinely entertained and rid of the blues in seeing this lively, plausible story of a retired policeman, played to the hilt by Thomas Mitchell. And you'll take particular notice of Dennis Morgan, as a young cop who marries Priscilla Lane, devoted daughter of exOfficer Mitchell. TOO MANY HUSBANDS (Columbia) — A thoroughly entertaining comedy with such grand exponents of wit as Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray and Melvyn Douglas in the important roles. When a girl finds herself with two devoted husbands and in love with both you are assured of rollicking situations. Even a sourpuss should get a laugh out of this film. VIRGINIA CITY (Warners)— The great hullabaloo about this picture before it was released led fans to expect too much. It's not an epic, but simply a long, ; but fast-moving, westerner with action to spare. Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins and Randy Scott play the leading roles, with Randy being the most believable of the three. VIVA CISCO KID (20th Century-Fox) — Cesar Romero continues to do all right as the romantic "Lone Ranger," but such will not be the case if the stories don't improve. This is the thinnest of the series. PEG couldn't help being envious— they were having such fun, and she was so lonely. So many girls who weren't as pretty as Peg, had dates. "I'll leave this old town, then I'll be popular," thought Peg. But Peg, others will neglect you wherever you go— if you neglect underarm odor. Like Peg, we seldom know when we are guilty of underarm odor. How much wiser to play safe— each day— with Mum! Don't rely on a bath alone to guard your charm. A bath removes past perspiration, but Mum prevents future odor. Wherever there is social life, you will find popular girls use Mum. And more use Mum than any other deodorant. MUM SAVES TIME! Just 30 seconds, and underarms are fresh all day. MUM SAVES CLOTHES! The American Laundry Institute Seal tells you Mum won't harm any fabric. Safe for skin, too —even after underarm shaving! MUM SAVES CHARM! Mum makes odor impossible— not by attempting to prevent perspiration— but by neutralizing the odor before it starts. Get Mum at your druggist's today. More women (and more men) make a habit of Mum because Mum keeps you "in right" everywhere— with everyone! POPULAR GIRLS MAKE A DAILY HABIT OF MUM TO HERSELF: MUM WAS THE ANSWER FOR ME, ALL RIGHT! I'M A HIT... „. TONIGHT For Sanitary Napkins, Too— No need to worry about Sanitary Napkins if you remember Mum will keep you fresh. Mum is so safe ...so gentle . . . thousands use it this way!
