He takes her home with him to use her for reierence for slang, manner and type, and While he's transferihg her to ink on paper, she takes over the place. . ; , • i One of the nice things about Jane Withers' films of the past is lost in •Avenue A.' She was always a rough and tumble person before, but is eiven oifly a brief go - at it here^ time taken up to introduce people to what will be expected of her later—the task of becoming; a per-r feet lady. ' , ;■■ :' ^ ' ,.. : .; This script came from Maude Ful- ton'? play* -The Brat,' atid is about a ybungster who sharps her way as an adolescent for victuals, for clothes and for money. Tripped up; while trying to beiait George: Humbert for a fancy meal, Kent Taylor steps in and gets her out of the mess; He's a rich swell, who hobbies at writing plays (it must be a hobby, because he hever gets around to giving, one air). Over the oppbsiish of. his en- tire household, he keep^ the girl and watches her like a goldfish. She makes immediate friends of the bishop, Viaughan Glaser, of the butler, Harry Shannon, and of a neighborly rich lady, Jessie Ralph, She gets more than friendly with Rand Brooks, who tries to; soak out, a broken , heart in alcohol. Choosing up sides against -her are Katharine Aidridge, a wealthy beaut With cap set for Taylor, Laura Hope CJrews, the socially minded; mother; of 'the hays, arid; Ann.

The plaudits', for perfOrrhance go to the- character pieople^ Jessie Ralph, Laura HopiB Crews, Hcirry Shanribri and Vaughan Glaser.

Peter Hayes, Eddie Otiillan and Frank Jenks make' a good comedy trio. Bill Frawley is th^ kindly stage irianagi^r who comes to , the rescue of the kids; Virginia, Dale is' a fast- chattering blonde; arid Lillian Cor- nell isjbrought. in for one Song. Five "numbers are spotted through- out the running, title tune being best of thie group. Although most of the action is in front of the bare, stage, picture has a production number, f or the' finale that is'above par for a moderate budgeter. .Joseph; Santley's direction: overcomes the .inadequa- cies of the story, lifting. it to credi- ;table support rating. . ;WoU. ■;; .:; ■' ; .■ .■• ^- ';' ■■■ v Meiody aiid Moonlight ■ ,:■;;■>,.

Fay Helm' This is a. program; filmusical of rbu tine textiire that provides sufficient light moments to get it across ac ceptably as- secondary filler• on the duaiis. In itself, picture is not too important, but affords good pros- . pecting into the talents and abilities . of several younger playiers: on the Paramount contract list. It's a typical backstage tal6 of: a stranded* trbiipe that finally is able to open the show despite insufficient coin.; Howiever, the youthful en- thusiasm of the players do much to overcome what, at times, becomes a static story; In its exploration work here, Paramount seems to. have uri- covered a nugget of singing and dancing abilities in Grace McDonald, recruited from the New York stage. She has a scrieen personality that catches attention, and she rates, as- signments ;■ higher budgeted pic- tures. ': A group of young players re hearsing for a WPA show find them selves stranded when the Govern ment iabandons the project. Qiiar tet of the boys utilize the theatre for living, quarters, and a discovered role of couiiterfeit billis enables them to put up deposits to insure the even- tual, opening. The phoney jnoney kicks back on them opening night. ;;but -smart marieuveririig saves the . day and the shbw. ■ V Robert Paige has possibilities as a Republic has iisually gpne anjiss iri itsi attemjjts at making musicals, but in, 'Melody aind Moonlight' it : has come, up with brie of its better tries that shbuld fare well on the top rung of; the duals. With a breezy, sprightr ly bast that includes Johnny, Downs;- Barbara Allen ('Vera Vague ■ bf radio), Jerry Colonria, Bob Hbpe's radio stooge; moppet Mary'Lee and a filrii newcomer, . Janb .Frazee, 'Mel- ody' is; surpirisirigly tuneful,' tho.ugh its cbniedy is soniewhat questionable from the Standpoint of material.: Jbseph Saritley has directed at a brisk pace this more or less Alger-; esque ; yai-n ; about the, bellhop (Downs) with a:show biz yen as airi outlet for ,his hbo^ngi; In coupling Miss Frazbe with Downs as the rriajOr romantic; interest Republic has cbme lip 'with a . nifty looker :who - seems slated for - better: things if her ex- treme likeness - to Lana . Tiirner doesn't step iii the Way. However, the latter is something that'can be a'voided, since it seems that the stii- dib itself is cbnscibus of the similar- ity, encouraging the hair-do Miss Frazee uses in the pic, albrig with the slinky - gown, ; to emphasize that factor. . ■•-': The link of Miss Allen, as ' the chattering, opaque dame that she is on the radio, anid: Colonna'doesn't produce the happy results that on paper seeriis in the offing. But that's essentially a fault of the iriaterisHi which consists^ in Miss Allen's -castf; of t>uns whose only; faybrable results are due to her delivery. However, as is also true in the case of Colonnt, as the wealthy chiropbdist. who be- coriies anothier link- in .:the seiries of: lips and dowri.s bf Johnny DbWns, the delivery i.s. the main attribute of his gags, and ,fol-de-rbl wjth Miss Allen, both bf ■ whbm • fbrm" an iriciderital coinedy romantib element. , . ; Integrally linked in; the standard yar.h, and a; vital factor in, the siiC-. cess it does achieve, is. little Mary Lee. who's rapidly becbrnirig a Junlbr edition of Jiid.Y' Garland in voice, looks arid acting aibility.
