What a film it will make, we said to ourselves, lion to lion. * * + + And now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is getting set to release "Cabin", happy in the knowledge that preview reports have branded it "a honey", "a dream" and just plain "excellent." • • • * M-G-M rules the raves. The trio of star entertainers heading the cast are Ethel Waters, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and Lena Home. • • • • Lena is a find. She is destined to become another Florence Mills. • • • • Nor must we fail to tell about Louis Armstrong, Rex Ingram, Duke Ellington and his orchestra, The Hall Johnson choir. They're all there in "Cabin In The Sky". • • • • It's another excellent musical production by Arthur Freed. The screenplay is by Joseph Schrank. It is the first film that has been directed by the talented artist Vincente Minnelli and he is to be congratulated. • • • • A few additional numbers appear in the film by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg. One in particular is entitled "Happiness is a Thing Called Joe." • • • • No more paragraphs on "Cabin" for the moment. Turning to other films, we recommend emphatically the current Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn "Keeper of The Flame". • • • • If you liked "Mrs. Miniver" and "Random Harvest", you will recognize' the same M-G-M touch in this adaptation of the novel by I. A. R. Wylie. • • • How are the New Year's resolutions coming ? • • • Well, they were too tough at that.
