Shadow Stage
(Continued from page 12) awhile, but not before turning down her war veteransweetheart, John Craven.
The one redeeming quality of this “swell guy” is his genuine affection for his young nephew, Donald Devlin, who worships him, their relationship changing the course of several lives. A satisfactory supporting cast has William Gargan playing a gullible brother, Ruth Warrick as a romantic sister-in-law and John Litel as Ann’s lenient father.
Your Reviewer Says: Virtue triumphs over vice.
^ Cross My Heart (Paramount)
PRESH out of farces. Paramount dusted *■ off an oldie, “True Confession,” starring Carole Lombard back in 1937, rechristened it “Cross My Heart,” and picked that female firecracker Betty Hutton and that blond brute Sonny Tufts to play the leads.
Betty is a deliriously dizzy dame who doesn't bother with little white lies, preferring great big whoppers every time. She adores, and is adored by, Tufts, a struggling lawyer for whom she tries to drum up clients. But things don’t work out according to plan and Attorney Tufts has to talk fast and furiously to extricate his bouncing bundle of TNT from the preposterous situation she’s created.
It’s slapsticky most of the time with Michael Chekhov, as a wacky Russian actor, adding to the whoop-de-do. To believe any part of it, you’ll have to swallow a whole sackful of salt but the chances are you’ll enjoy watching Betty Hutton’s clowning and her lively rendition of several songs. There’s a gal who earns her laughs the hard way, practically knocking herself out in the process!
Your Reviewer Says: Funny in spots.

My, how we Mothers wait for baby's first smile cherish each succeeding one. There’s such a world of reassurance in watching the corners of that tiny mouth curve upward, as if to say, "Everything’s fine with me."
