This new 12 8-page book, "Stammering, Its Cause and Correction," describes the BogueUnit Method for scientific correction of stammering and stuttering— successful for 46 years. Benj. N. Bogue Dept. 7501. Circle Tower. Indianapolis 4. Inri. Brief Reviews ( Continued from page 37) \/FlEST A — M-G-M: Lively Technicolor happenings down in Mexico including gay bullfights and symphony concerts, centering around Esther Williams and her twin brother newcomer Ricardo Montalban. There’s Mary Astor, Fortunio Bonanova and Akim Tamiroff to help carry this off successfully. (Sept.) \/GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, THE— 20th CenturyFox: A different and diverting piece about ghost Rex Harrison who doesn’t like the idea of Mrs. Gene Tierney Muir coming to live in his former home. He haunts her; they get romantic; George Sanders gets delightfully wolfish. Edna Best and Vanessa Brown are there, along with bright comedy touches. (Aug.) y GOLDEN EARRI NGS — Paramount: Quentin Reynolds plays himself to track down the story of why British Colonel Ray Milland’s ears are pierced. It’s some story, featuring Marlene Dietrich as a dirtyfaced gypsy and Murvyn Vye as a brawny chorister. Different enough to be a fair time-passer. (Oct.) SCREEN FOR DANGER — Eagle-Lion; Alastair Sim as Inspector Cockrill straightens out a murderous mix-up with white-clad doctors Trevor Howard and Leo Genn making good suspects. Rosamund John and Sally Gray are the nurses; the British plot will give you shivers if you’re a mystery-lover. (Aug.) HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS — Nebenzal-UA: Bob Cummings sprouts some invisible wings and comes down to earth as the Archangel Michael to straighten out the life of bad man Brian Donlevy. Despite the wings this is just another Western with Jorja Curtright looking exotically out of place. (Sept.) 1 A HER HUSBAND’S AFFAIRS— Columbia; A light touch of nonsense about the married life of advertising couple Lucille Ball and Franchot Tone, this has some big laughs about bigger black beards and Edward Everett Horton. Larrv Parks bows in briefly. (Oct.) HIT PARADE OF 1947 — Republic: Headliners of the entertainment world; Joan Edwards, Eddie Albert, Constance Moore and Gil Lamb turn in another musical about show business that’s not hard to take. Woody Herman and orchestra swing in. (Aug.) HUCKSTERS, THE — M-G-M : Quick and to the satirical point is this remake of the best-seller with Clark Gable as the advertising "Huckster” and English Deborah Kerr the lady who can resist a sales talk. Sydney Greenstreet, Ava Gardner and Adolphe Menjou help get the laughs and the whole business will sell itself to you with ease. (Sept.) /l WONDER WHO'S KISSING HER NOW— 20th Century-Fox: Well-turned as a Gay Nineties leg is this Technicolor musical about the life of composer Joe E. Howard. Mark Stevens, June Haver, Lenore Aubert and Martha Stewart dress it up; the songs and Reginald Gardiner’s clowning add the finishing touches to a dandy musical. (Sept.) ^ IVY — L’niversal-International : “Ivy,” despite Joan Fontaine’s deft manipulations, doesn’t give you as many chills as she should. A lady who’s bent on getting somewhere by using men and is a murderess to boot should have you feeling more than lukewarm pity. Despite nice performances by Herbert Marshall, Richard Ney and Patric Knowles you’ll still just go along with it — and mildly at that. (Sept.)

Marie McDonald and Phyllis Thaxter are the gals. (Sept.) y'' LONG NIGHT, THE — RKO: You’ll keep rather dreary vigil with Henry Fonda in the room he refuses to leave after he’s committed murder. Barbara Bel Geddes and Ann Dvorak try and convince him to better face the police but before he does "you’ll hear the whole and rather depressing story of why he killed off slimy Vincent Price. (Sept.) LURED — Stromberg-UA : This is all fairly handsome hokum conducted by Lucille Ball, George Sanders and Boris Karloff. “The Yard” is in the background trying to clear up some murders, but when all’s dramatically said and done it’s still just a papier mache mystery. (Sept.) /MERTON OF THE MOVIES— M-G-M: Red Skelton takes over the famous Merton and brings him up to date in a nice little comedy that’s on the slapstick side. Virginia O’Brien keeps it all lighthearted and Alan Mowbray, Gloria Grahame and Leon Ames play around in their old flicker-day roles. (Oct.) \/^MIRACLE ON 34th ST. — 20th Century-Fox: A hit takes over with Edmund Gwenn making a magnificent Santa Claus in a film that shouldn’t be missed. John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood and Macy’s and Gimbel’s are all in there pitching fast; there’s plenty of comedy to keep you chuckling and send you home cheering. (Aug.) MONSIEUR VERDO UX — Chaplin-UA : Charles Chaplin presents a picture that’s aroused more curiosity than a dozen thrillers. It’s brilliant in spots with touches of the old Chaplin genius, but the theme of excusing murder on economic grounds is questionable. You may not like the film, but you’ll love scenestealer Martha Raye. (Aug.)
