She's been living in England for some years, and now she arrives in New York to pay a surprise visit to her mama (Gladys George). Mama used to be a musical comedy star, but she's presently a large scale drunk. Doris, who never reads the papers, believes her mother is still the hottest thing on the New York stage, and is passionate to see her. She goes to the fancy address where mama's supposed to live, is treated kindly by Billy De Wolfe and Aim Triola, a vaudeville team, working as servants in the house — and is sugar-daddied by S. Z. Sakall. Can you see the handwriting on the wall? Did you know S.Z. was going to back a Broadway musical? In Technicolor? There are old songs by Gershwin, Cole Porter. Cast; Doris Day, Gene Nelson, S. Z. Sakall, Billy De Wolfe. — Warner Brothers. GO FOR BROKE A tribute to Japanese-American war heroes who fought in World War II is tendered by MGM. Story follows bigoted Lieutenant Van Johnson, and the Japanese soldiers under him through basic training, and thence to France and Italy, where gradually Van learns to be a nice unprejudiced boy, and stops longing for transfer to the Texas outfit where all his old pals are. Picture deals with the problems that confronted Japanese-American soldiers, many of them bitter because their famOies were in relocation centers, all of them anxious to prove their own loyalty by fighting. It's full of G.I. humor, too, and I think the soldiers participating are all actual vets. If that's true, their acting's astonishing. They're better than pros. Some good but belated points are made here. This is a vote of thanks the Japanese-Americans have had coming to them for a long time. Cast: Van Johnson, Lane Nakano, George Miki, Akira Fukunaga. — MGM. First NEW KIND of Girdle in 11 Years! NOW ENJOY NEW SLENDERN ESS, new comfort, new free-^ dom !
