Important Pictures [Continued from page 71] John Wayne FLYING TIGERS *** Republic B A rousing tribute to those intrepid adventurers of the sky, the American Volunteer Group or, as they are known, the "Flying Tigers." As long as two years before Pearl Harbor, American boys in the employ of the Chinese Government were flying over the Burma Road protecting China's lifeline from the marauding Japs. The saga of their unequal battle, their heroism and daring is told in this thrilling film packed with action and fire. A cocky American pilot (John Carroll), who joins the AVG only for the money in it, through witness-ing the magnificent, unrelenting resistence of. the Chinese people even to the smallest child, learns that their fight is our fight, that they are battling for all that America actually stands for. John Wayne plays to perfection the role of the outfit's stalwart squadron leader, who is in love with the Red Cross nurse stationed there (Anna Lee). The sky battles are breathtaking. This is a film that will stir all who see it. IIBERTY LIMEfflCKS Said a movie fan, Edward G.

FOR ME AND MY GAL **• Metro-Gohhcyn -Mayer ■ For Me and My Gal takes us back to the hey-day of vaudeville, before the first World War, when an entertainer's greatest ambition was to play the New York Palace. Gene Kelly, a delightful new personality who's going places, plays a small-time hoofer, who wins Judy Garland away from George Murphy, as a partner. Judy falls hard for Gene, but a big-time singer (Marta Eggerth) almost snares him until he realizes it's Judy he loves. They plan on being married and to complete their joy, the Palace comes through with a booking. In the meantime war has been declared and Gene receives his draft notice. So he won't miss the Palace engagement. Gene deliberately smashes his hand. When Judy discovers that Gene is dodging the draft, she calls off their wedding plans and sends him away. How Gene finally straightens out and wins back Judy and his self-respect is told dramatically when the action shifts to the war front. Good entertainment with lots of music and dancing. GIRL TROUBLE *•% 20th Century-Fox ■ Girl Trouble has little to redeem it except a few comedy situations and a cast that tries hard. Story concerns the playboy son (Don Ameche) of a Venezuelan rubber planter, who arrives in New York to negotiate a loan to expand rubber production. Ameche rents an apartment from Joan Bennett, whose wealth is frozen in England and who. stays on as maid of the apartment. Of course, the two fall in love, after a series of squabbles, but end up in the inevitable clinch. Fair entertainment. THE GLASS KEY ***/2 Paramount | Paramount pitted Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd against each other with such spectacular success in This Gun for Hire that they've done it again in The Glass Key. It's a fairly exciting mystery film, but it lacks the punch of their first success. Alan Ladd, a really talented newcomer, is fast falling into the gangster groove, and it is to be hoped that Paramount will do better by him before he's irrevocably typed. The leading role is portrayed with gusto by Brian Donlevy. He's a get-as-get-can politician who falls [Continued on page 74] mm* * Alan Ladd don't Let Uqlif BLACKHEADS A robi/ouof POPULARITY Don't hide your face and "miss out" any longer because of embarrassing blackheads that mar your appearance.
