The screen's fivorite orphan is thereby deprived of one of her greatefst joys: costing wistful eyes toward heaven and lameritinis plaintively- that there is none closer than a second cousin to see that she has her shoes soled and puts on her winter underwear. Though 'The First Tear' deals with the earthy struggles of a new. ly wedded pair, It remembers that Miss Gaynor is, a mythical wraith, a heroine out of a falfy tale. Right- ly, her home town is i'bower Of cherry blossoms, screening a row of fragile cottages that 'mJght be made of sugar and icing;, her cpsttimes, cunning prints and daintiest or.^- gandy; her hailr comb, a orown of fluffiest curls. raer, too; making bar halrcomb a bit of a ,problem. The. present ver- sion is a long bob, curling fluffliy about her face. The- Idea is excel-, lent, but the execution Involves one loose, untidy ■wave and ends that . are frizzed into the semblanc© of a home-made curl. An alternative coiffure, youthful nnd becominir wheii shot from side angles, draws the hair smoothly oft the brow to fluff into full ciirls .bf'hlnd the ears. Both' hair coinbs are too poorly groomed to impress American., fanettes. ■ Not Much'Chance Ann Dvoraki Sheila ^erry, Betty Gillette and. Claire Dodd are the programmed . principals, among a multitude of Hollywood ladies, who worship at the shrine of David-Man- ners as 'The Grponcr.'

Gary, Copper,, runs the story, has. discovered Miss BankHead wa,nder- ,lng, disheveled and forlorn, through an African market place* He com- miserates with lier upon her half dazed appearance^ 'Tut, tut,' denies the heroine, 'that is j list my normal exi>ression.' ■They needn't think they can eit- plaln away a lack of animation that -way.
