PARAMOUNT PUNCH.
CHEVALIER FILM IN THE^BAC.
(Reprinfed from the American
“Motion Picture Daily”.)
Naughty, but grand enter t a i n m e n t is Love Me Tonight”. A Parisian tailor — that’s Maurice Chevalier— falls in love with
Maurice Chevalier. Jeanette
MacDonald — that’s the princess— and she goes for him in the usual great, big way.
That’s all that happens so far as narrative is concerned. But in treatment and in direction, Rouben Mamoulian has done a job decidedly Lubitschlike in its touches, it nuances, its delightful manner of riding over the suggestive spots, of which there are many.
Set to a musical background furnished by Rogers and Hart, “Love Me Tonight” is constantly refreshing. It is sophisticated, yet it is down to earth and, while that sounds as if we can’t quite make up our minds, the picture is a very adroit blending of both. Chevalier is his per usual self. He’s on the screen constantly and for that millions of American women will sing hozannas.
First “Movie Crazy”, then “Horse Feathers” and now “Love Me Tonight”, Paramount is off to a new season’s start that will bear watching.
KANN.

NOVEMBER!
Perth Drops Back to Second Place.
MELBOURNE AGAIN IN FRONT.
KEEN CONTEST IN SEPTEMBER MONTH DRIVE.
^pHE standings announced to date in the September Month ■ Drive show that Perth’s burst of speed on the first two weeks proved too strong for them and they have flopped almost ten points, with the result that Melbourne is once again in the lead with an advantage of six points. It certainly looks like the hard steady plugging of Claude Henderson and his boys is going to prevail over the short-lived bursts of the Perth bunch. However, there is still another week to go, and who can tell whether George Nacard has not another sprint in reserve.
Adelaide is right on the heels of the leaders and must be watched, whilst Sydney is creeping up almost unnoticed. They increased their percentage by nine points this week.
With only one more week to go, the field enters the home stretch of a contest that has been one of the most successful in the history of the com. pany. Win or lose, every branch has indeed covered themselves with glory.
A KNOCKOUT.
There is no doubt that “Lady and Gent”, with George Bancroft and Wynne Gibson, pictured above, is one of the finest pictures we have made in a long time. In every sense of the word it’s a knockout.
