Although we’ve never had our face lifted, we do know what it’s like to feel young all of a sudden.
★ ★ ★ ★
There was Mickey Rooney at the drums, there was Judy Garland at the voice, and there were we and all the audience at our happiest.
That trip to see “Strike Up The Band” was a trip to the Fountain of Youth.
★ ★ ★ ★
It started us singing. Usually our vocal efforts are confined to the marbled halls of the shower-room, but after seeing this new M-G-M sooper dooper musical smash, our little voice went pattering all over the house.
★ ★ ★ ★
The boys and girls in the picture get the plot inspiration from Maestro Paul Whiteman himself. Over the years Whiteman has deserved the title His Royal Highness of Rhythm. Paul’s music never palls.
★ ★ ★ ★
We have a flock of bouquets to pass around on this one. We’ll toss a few to Arthur Freed, the hit Ascap song-writer who turned producer ; to Busby Berkeley , the director; and to those brother rats, Monks and Finklehoffe, who wrote the screen play.
★ ★ ★ ★
When you hear “Our Love Affair”, others will hear you. It’s more than a melody, it’s an infection.
★ ★ ★ ★
But the final repeat rave must be held
for those incomparable artists of the present and future, those babes in arms, Rooney and Garland. We call them Punch and Judy, because punch is what they’ve got.
★ ★ ★ ★
It’s remarkable the way M-G-M keeps up the parade of hits. This summer has revealed “The Mortal Storm”, “Pride and Prejudice”, “New Moon”, “Andy Hardy Meets Debutante”, “I Love You Again”, not to mention the recordbreaking “Boom Town.”
★ ★ ★ ★
That leaves you all set for the master¬ piece, “Escape” (Norma Shearer and Robert Taylor) as well as this month’s delightful “Third Finger, Left Hand” (Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas). ★ ★ ★ ★
No wonder we’re
singing — .
