DIAPER LINERS .j Wherever Baby Goods Are Sold When he returns home, part of his dream seems to come true so he seeks the aid of Regis Toomey. Warren William is very good as the “dream” man, Charles Arnt capable as the nasty psychiatrist, and we enjoyed Sally Eilers too. (May) ^SUDAN — Universal: Another Technicolor fancy with Maria Montez as the queen who ascends the throne when her father is killed, Jon Hall as a lighthearted thief who rescues her from George Zucco, and Turhan Bey as a dashing Egyptian bandit chief. Andy Devine’s comedy is so constrained it’s hardly noticeable. (June) \/THlS MAN^S NAVY—M-G-U: The story that surrounds the activities of the blimps in sinking submarines, rescuing wrecked planes and crews, and other vital duties, tells of the experiences of Wallace Beery, assigned to training young recruits. Tom Drake is his protege who joins the service, Jan Clayton is the girl, and James Gleason is Beery’s skeptical pal. (Apr.) \/^THUNDERHEAD, SON OF FLICKA— 20th Century-Fox: The white horse Thundcrhead, a magnificent and amazingly well-trained animal, all but steals the show from the human actors. Roddy McDowall, who owns and loves Thundcrhead, and Preston Foster and Rita Johnson as his parents are swell, but honors go to the equine performers who give us a truly entertaining show. (May) \/S/TONIGHT AND EVERY AT/GHT— Columbia: A musical which tells the story of a London theater that stayed open during the bombing raids, this is different, appealing and warming, adorned with Rita Hayworth’s beauty and enhanced with the amazing dancing of Marc Platt. Lee Bowman is very handsome as Rita’s pilot beau, and Janet Blair is fair as Rita’s best friend. (Apr.) V^V'I/TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, A— 20th Century-Fox: Here is everything — tenderness, pathos, reality, humor. Dorothy McGuire is Matna, growing cold and bitter under the strain of poverty; Peggy Ann Garner seems to feel every ache and sorrow of Francie; Jimmy Dunn is a magnificent Johnny, a man of weakness and charm; and Joan Blondell as Aunt Cissy, Ted Donaldson, Lloyd Nolan and James ft Gleason offer gems of performances. (Apr.) UNSEEN, THE — Paramount: Joel McCrea hires Gail Russell to take care of his two young children, but strange, mysterious goings-on occur in the neighborhood and right in his own home. The story’s so garbled and the mystery so mysterious that you’ll never quite figure it out, Herbert Marshall is McCrea’s doctor friend. (Apr.) ^UTAH — Republic: Dale Evans, actress, wants to sell the family ranch she’s never seen in order to back a show, but Roy Rogers, who manages the ranch and doesn't want it sold, steers Dale onto the scrubby ranch owned by Gabby Hayes in the hope she’ll be discouraged and give up the idea. The tunes and singing are fair and it’s sure to please the Rogers fans. (June) \/^WHAT A BLONDE~KKO\ Leon Errol as a harassed man with five chorus girls, living in his ' house is very funny at times as the share-your-car driver who suddenly finds himself a share-your-home ) husband whose wife returns unexpectedly. It’s a silly story but it grows fairly comical as it progresses along. (Apr.) \/WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?— 20th Cen ■ tury-Fox: This silly fantasy with songs and music r ends up by being very funny in spots. Fred Mac i Murray’s a 4F in love with June Haver, so when a genie appears after he's rubbed an old lamp he wishes • himself in the Army, and lands first with Washington . at Valley Forge, then in Columbus’s navy, and it goes on from there. Throughout the story he constantly meets up with both June and Joan Leslie who really loves him. (June) S/S/WITHOUT lOFE— MGM: Katharine Hepburn, who hides from the world because a past love was too perfect, and scientist Spencer Tracy, a refugee from love, marry without love and find it developing along the way. Carl Esmond is Katie’s amorous suitor, Keenan Wynn a delight as her cousin, and Lucille Ball and Felix Bressart are very amusing. It’s light, airy, and gay.
