MOVIE REVIEWS e>tfVii4 €fM*f £Te// ■ The part of Corliss Archer in "Kiss And Tell" might easily have been written just for Shirley Temple — it's that perfect for her. As Corliss, she is by turns sweet, coy, precocious and maddening. It's a good part, and a good picture. Backing Shirley are Jerome Courtland as her next-door swoongoon, and Walter Abel, Robert Benchley, Mary Phillips and Darryl Hickman. You wouldn't think a little thing like a kiss could lead to so much trouble. But when Corliss and her friend, Mildred Pringle. sell kisses instead of guest towels at the Red Cross bazaar, it leads to one marriage, one near-marriage,, and a scandal which rocks the town. You see, Corliss' mother and Corliss' ardent admirer, Dexter (Jerome Courtland), blame Mildred for the kisses. After all, Mildred is almost eighteen, and an Influence on Corliss. That starts a feud between the Archers and the Pringles which makes the Montagues and Capulets look like bosom friends. So naturally when Lenny Archer comes home on leave from the Air Force, he and Mildred have to see each other secretlv. They carry the Romeo and Juliet business to the point where they even get married secretly. None knows except Corliss, and she swears a solemn oath not to tell. Then Lenny is sent overseas. And soon Mildred finds herself in the unfortunate position of an about-to-be-mother whose family doesn't know she's married. To make matters worse — a whole lot worse — some of the town gossips get the idea it's Corliss who is going to have the baby. They tell her mother, and since Corliss has sworn she won't reveal Lenny's and Mildred's secret. (Continued on page 12)
