finds that foreign agents are also after it. Ona Munson is the brave woman doctor, Peggy Moran a girl spy, but Stuart Erwin as the jungle guide steals the show. (Dec.) EYES IN THE NIGHT— M-G-M: Ann Hauling comes back to the screen as a stepmother who must break up the romance of her daughter, Donna Reed, with John Emery. There's also a plot to steal millionaire Reginald Denny's invention. It's blind man Edward Arnold who. with the aid of his dog, discovers the plot and brings our enemies to justice. (Dec.) FALCONS BROTHER, THE — RKO-Radio: George Sanders bows out of this series, and his real life brother, Tom Conway, takes over, but this latest of the series is only fair. The plot, in volving spies and intrigue, has to do with a tipoff advertisement to the Pearl Harbor disaster in a national magazine. Jane Randolph, Don Barclay and Key Luke roam around. (Jan.) FLYING FORTRESS— Warners: You'll see Richard Greene in this English-made film, in which he plays an American playboy who joins the terry Command, falls in love with an American newspaperwoman and joins the R.A.F. The air-raid scenes in the American-made bomber are thrilling, but the English interpretations of Americans are most unconvincing. (Dec.) l/V FLYING TIGERS— Republic: A thrilling, heart-stirring film based on the adventures of the volunteer American flyers who fought and died for China's cause. John Wayne, the squadron leader; John Carroll, the braggadocio; Edmund MacDonald, Paul Kelly and Gordon Jones give us a page of American history that should make every American proud of his race. (Dec.) FOREIGN AGENT— Monogram: Another spy-ring story, but this time the baddies wend their way after the usual secret invention in and out of studios and Los Angeles environs. John Shelton and Gale Storm are the romantic leads and Ivan LebedefT and George Travell stir things up a bit. There's plenty of action. (Dec.) 1/ FOREST RANGERS— Paramount: Fred MacMurray is the handsome ranger who meets and marries Paulette Goddard, to the jealous chagrin of Susan Hayward, who tries to get him away. More important than the fine cast, which also includes Albert Dekker, Eugene Pallette and Lynne Overman, is the succession of tremendous fire scenes, magnificently photographed in Techcnicolor. (Dec.) ^y FOR ME AND MY GAL— M-G-M: A musical knockout, with George Murphy losing his vaudeville partner, -Judy Garland, to Gene Kelly. Judy falls in love with Gene, almost breaks her heart when he's attracted to Marta Eggerth, then suddenly Gene discovers he loves Judy. But then comes World War I and Gene pays dearly for his unpatriotism. You're bound to love this picture. (Dec.) GALLANT LADY— P.R.C.: Rose Hobart, a woman doctor, is sent to prison on charges of a mercy killing and is forced to participate in a jail break. When she joins a country doctor, Sidney Blackmer, and then decides to marry him, her past is disclosed and much unhappiness ensues. (Jan.) \Z^ GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE — Warners: Even Washington himself would have laughed at the trials and tribulations of Jack Benny and Ann Sheridan when they find themselves in a dilapidated country house long on tradition anil short on bathrooms. Complications pile on when Jack becomes jealous of neighbor Harvey Stephens and rascally young Douglas Croft descends upon them. It's a howl. (Dec.) s/ GIVE OUT. SISTERS— Universal: It's corny. it's funny, it's lively and abloom with music and singing. Grace McDonald plays a young heiress gone jitterbug mad and Dan Dailey Jr. is her bandleader beau. The Andrews Sisters introduce four new songs and the Jivin' Jacks 'n' Jills dance new steps. (Dec.) \/\/ GLASS KEY, THE— Paramount : Alan Ladd scores again as the pal of political boss Brian Donlevy, who finds himself suspected of murder. Veronica Lake strolls through with a monotonous performance, but William Bendix. Bonita Granville and Joseph Calleia give swell performances. (Dec.) HALFWAY TO SHANGHAI— Universal: Passengers aboard a train bound for Rangoon become involved in a murder mystery when a man escaping with plans of defense in China is killed. American engineeer Kent Taylor, Irene Hervey, Nazi sympathizer Charlotte Wynters. and George Zucco are among the passengers. (Dec.) l/V HARD WAY. THE— Warners: Ida Lupino plays her role of a relentlessly selfish woman who promotes her younger sister, Joan Leslie, to perfection. Equally fine is the performance of Jack Carson as the lovable but dumpish vaudevillian who marries Joan and rescues them both from their miserable surroundings. Dennis Morgan, Leona Mai icle and Gladys Cooper are also good. (Dec.) HELLO. ANNAPOLIS— Columbia: Jean Parker refuses to marry Tom Brown unless he enters Annapolis. When he attempts to trick her into marriage, Joan turns the tables and tricks him into (Continued on pane 103) FEBRUARY. 1943 Linda Darnell, glamorous 20th Century-Fox star in "Loves of Edgar Allen Poe," uses GLOVER'S to condition scalp and hair.
