NAME MOVIE REVIEWS (Continued from page 19) dearingly feminine. And very flirtatious. There is, for instance, Regina (Marsha Hunt) who is the eldest and fancies herself a great actress, indeed. There is Billie (Kathryn Grayson) who looks and sings like an angel. Then in rapid order there are Victor, Albert, Cornelius, Peter and George. Surrounded by such a bevy of beauties, it's no wonder Henry has a bit of trouble with his heart. The girls, as a unit and singly, are intent upon one thing — marriage; and they are particularly intent upon the marriage of Regina, since she, as the eldest, must marry first before they can make tracks to the altar themselves. So very cunningly they set out to match our slightly bewildered Henry with Regina. But they hadn't counted on Billie's charms or her voice. Billie sings her way into his heart quite unaware of what she has done. Very promptly and quite properly Henry makes his overtures to the head of the Van Maaster clan for permission to marry his daughter. He's in seventh heaven when the permission is gracefully forthcoming, but to his horror, he discovers that the old man has okayed his marriage to Regina, not Billie. Well, in a situation like that, there's only one thing to do: duck and run. Henry beats it back to New York. But while he's trying to forget Little Delft, the seven sisters keep him sharply in mind. Regina turns up to announce she wants his help in getting on the stage. Billie turns up to say that she loves him, and no matter what, she wants to marry him. Old Van Maaster turns up, and he's not bringing tulips to market. Shake well for a reel or so and then separate. The upshot of the whole matter is that Regina gets her chance for glory, ADDRESS Check here if you want to save postage. Enclose j □ _ $1.98 with coupon and we ship prepaid.
