Director William Keighley of "No Time For Comedy," co-starring James Stewart and Rosalind Russell, greeted Genevieve Tobin with a kiss every time she reported for work. But no wonder — he's her husband! THE SEA HAWK (Warners)— A magnificently produced spectacle with Errol Flynn in the type of role he's best suited for — that of a dashing, adventurous pirate in the service of his queen, who happens to be Flora Robson. Brenda Marshall is the girl who pirates his heart without much difficulty. Claude Rains and Alan Hale are standouts in the huge supporting cast. This, too, is a picture not to be missed. THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (Warners) — For many reasons, you couldn't ask for better entertainment than this compelling yarn of truck drivers. Ann Sheridan, George Raft, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart and Alan Hale are the first five reasons. The story, direction and photography are three more. Ida Lupino, incidentally, steals the picture, despite flawless performing by all the others in the cast. VILLAIN STILL PURSUED HER (RKO) — Remember a while back, when they revived some of the old-time melodramas for the stage and served beer at the performances and encouraged the audience to hiss and cheer? Well, here's the same idea for movies, except no beer will be served. Anita Louise, Alan Mowbray, Richard Cromwell and Buster Keaton are in it and needless to say overact all over the place. WE WHO ARE YOUNG (M-G-M) — A touching little story of a young married couple and the hard time they have getting a foothold in life. Lana Turner and John Shelton are splendid in the leading roles, with Lana leaving aside her charms temporarily to show that she really can act when she wants to. Gene Lockhart, Grant Mitchell and Henry Armetta are also in the cast. YOUNG PEOPLE (20th Century-Fox) —Shirley Temple's swan song for 20th Century-Fox and none too good a swan song at that, despite Jack Oakie and Charlotte Greenwood to lend a hand. It's a combination of backstage and rural atmosphere, with the trio, as vaudevillians, finally retiring to the easy farm life. But it isn't so easy, they soon find out, especially overcoming the prejudices some people have for show folk. for October 1940 S.O.S. S.O.S. Swell Music-but Wrong Girl Stay popular!
