New Brunswick, New Jersey Please send me introductory size package of Tampax with full directions. Enclosed is 20< (stamps or coins). Films To See — One For Every Mood. Addressdry .State BALLERINA— Excellent. A distinguished French language film that hould be a "must" on everybody's list, the Engish titles making it perfectly understandable to those not knowing French. It tells an intensely dramatic story of ballet dancers, and lovers of fine dancing and exquisite music will be enchanted. In addition it boasts acting of the very highest order. (Janine Charrat-Mia Slavenska.) CHRISTMAS CAROL, A— Interesting. Dickens' famous story is a classic that everyone unearths in prose form at the holiday season. As a full length film, it retains all the sentiment, all the horror, all the vision of the original and should prove good entertainment at any season. (Reg. Owen, Gene Lockhart, Kathleen Lockhart.) COMET OVER BROADWAY— Fair. Again Kay Francis suffers and suffers, running the gamut of emotions, as they say. Beginning with a murder for which her husband is given life imprisonment, Kay strives desperately to support herself and her daughter. Her rise to theatrical fame provides the nucleus of the story. With her, along the way, we meet John Litel, Ian Hunter, Donald Crisp & Sybil Jason. DRAMATIC SCHOOL — Good. This takes you behind the scenes in a French school where aspiring thespians are desperately in earnest trying to make a name for themselves on the stage. The principle protagonists being Gale Sondergaard as a jealous instructor; Luise Rainer, the most ambitious pupil; Paulette Goddard, one of the most blase, and Alan Marshall, as a Parisian playboy. DUKE OF WEST POINT— Fine. This is tops so far as college films are concerned. Louis Hayward plays the obnoxious youth, from Oxford, whom the West Point cadets proceed to humanize in hilarious fashion. Prominent in the cast are Tom Brown, Richard Carlson, Alan Curtis and Joan Fontaine. GOING PLACES— Good. A pleasant comedy with music, concerning a salesman in a swank sports goods shop who poses as a famous horseman to pep up sales, and is inveigled into riding a temperamental horse in a steeplechase, (Dick PowellAnita Louise.) RIDE A CROOKED MILE— Fair. The title was taken from Mother Goose and concerns the crooked man who Anita Louise and Dick Powell pause a moment in "Going places." didn't play the game according to Hoyle. Akim Tamaroff is the ex-Russian Cossack turned cattle rustler in our own "wooly west," with Leif Ericson his loyal but doubting son and Frances Farmer the love interest. • SMILING ALONG — Fine. Grade Fields, the celebrated English musical comedy star should gain a lot of American friends with her buoyant performance in this swiftly paced comedy which will give you more than a full measure of laughs — of the slapstick variety. (Mary MaguireRoger Livesey.) THANKS FOR EVERYTHING — Amusing. Light and fluffy as a cream puff, this comedy with music should prove fine light entertainment. The plot has to do with a national "average man contest" conducted with irrepressible results over the radio by Adolphe Menjou. (Jack Haley-Arleen Whalen-Jack Oakie.) 60 GLORIOUS YEARS — Excellent. The outstanding British film production of the year, this portrays the romance of Queen Victoria and her Consort, Prince Albert, rather than stressing the diplomatic affairs of those days, although they do come in for their share of glory, especially after the death of Albert. (Anna Neagle, Anton Walbrook and C. Aubrey Smith.) TOM SAWYER, DETECTIVE— Good. Mark Twain's fascinating stories of Tom Sawyer and his pal, Huckleberry Finn, are known and loved by old and young alike. This recent edition to the films based on their exciting adventures is well worth seeing. (Billy Cook, Donald O'Connor, Porter Hall, Elisabeth Rison.) WINGS OF THE NAVY— Excellent. Anyone interested in aviation (and who isn't these days?) will go crazy about this exciting yarn showing how navy aviators are trained down in Pensacola, Florida. Geo. Brent is perfect as the inventorinstructor, Frank McHugh and John Payne ditto as students, with Olivia de Havilland quite charming as the girl they both love. S Silver Screen
