The exuberant members of the nation’s film audiences, who have been responsible for probably more successful careers than even D. W. Griffith or Cecil B. DeMille, are rooting for a new hero. It’s Bob Hutton, the bashful young man of the films. Follow _ ing the pattern of such prede cessors as Charles Ray, Buddy Rogers and Richard Arlen, Hutton has become the year’s pick of the junior set. Hutton is now being called “America’s Boy Friend”’—a title that was hung on Buddy Rogers a couple of decades back when all the young women tried to look like Colleen Moore and wanted a boy friend who looked like Buddy. There was a period during the war years when the American heart belonged to the war hero. But with a return to comparative normalcy, it followed that some famous young man should come along to rivet the devotion of the youngsters. And Hutton seems to be the choice. The last high-hero before the war was stalwart Robert Taylor, dark and handsome; he was preceded by Dick Arlen and Rogers, who in turn were preceded by Charles Ray, the charm boy of the early ’20s. Hutton himself, appearing in Warner Bros.’ “Always Together”, due Friday at the Strand, in which he makes love to Joyce Reynolds, is happily unaware of the situation in which he is being plunged.

The Story Jonathan Turner (Cecil Kellaway), a miserly millionaire, thinks he is about to die, and orders his attorney, Mr. Bull (Ernest Truex) to locate a Miss Jane Barker. He wants to give her a million dollars but she is not to know where or from whom the money comes. Miss Barker (Joyce Reynolds), a $37.50 stenographer, is located and it is found that she is in love with a struggling writer, Donn (Bob Hutton). On the way home, Jane decides not to tell Donn about the unusual gift. Back at the Turner mansion, the old man surprises everyone by not dying. All he wants now is his money back. With Donn's first check for a story, he and Jane get married, and Mr. Turner, still bent on getting his money back, moves next door to the newlyweds. He sends Mr. Bull to expose the gift details to Donn, but the young husband is delighted over the whole affair. But life is none too happy for the duo, and Jane heads for Reno. Donn follows to fight the case and demand a huge alimony. This particular angle aHracts widespread attention and the court proceedings turn into a brawl. lt is then learned that Mr. Turner had made the original gesture to clear a fraud charge of many years ago in which Jane's father was the victim. Donn confronts Mr. Turner with this evidence and makes him go to Jane and reassure her that she and her husband can still be happy. Jane is found at a movie and shortly Donn leads her out telling her that ali three of them will be very happy from now on — meaning, Jane, Donn and — the fortune. Running Time: 78 Minutes.

I should have been one of the Bronte sisters or a character in a Dickens novel.” For this reason, the 22-yearold actress views with alarm her female contemporaries, most of whom she finds “unladylike and over-civilized”’. “Tf young men are not mannerly and polite as they used to be, it’s partly our fault”, she says, meaning girls in general. “We don’t encourage respect when we try to put everything on an equal basis.” A young man can hardly be expected to look upon his sweetheart as an appealing bit of helplessness when she can outplay him at tennis, when she drives a faster automobile, earns a bigger paycheck, and “won’t even let him open a door for her or help her with a wrap”. “Tt’s awful’, she moans. “Really awful!” Miss Reynolds’ thoughts on chivalry were inspired by her new role in “Always Together”, a Warner Bros. romantic comedy, due Friday at the Strand Theatre, in which she is costarred with Bob Hutton. “Some romantic!” she says. Then she waved a ladylike hand in the direction of the set. “This picture is an example of what I mean. I play a modern young woman who is quite independent of the attention of her sweetheart. It’s just like real life. I like it that way.”
