Joan Blondell and
Melvyn Douglas In
Comedy At Rialto
A htlsrlous conclusive proof that
"Good Olrls Go to Paris" Is said
to be provided by Joan Blondell and
Melvyn Douglas In the new comedy
hit by that title opening a three
day run today at the New Blalto
theater. Hailed as one of the gayest
laugh romances of the season, "Good
Olrls Go to Paris" la the second
co-starring Centura of the comedy
team which made last season's
"There's Always a Woman" so de
lightful. Ml Blondell Is seen In the new
film as the prototype of many Amer
ican girls. In that she wants to go
to Paris. Miss Blondell, on the other
hand, chooses a delightfully unor
thodox method of attaining her am
bition. 8he becomes a waitress In a
college town tearoom, hoping to find
a rich college lad whose father will
provide the financial backing for her
trip by "persuading" her to "forget"
the boy. Unfortunately, in addition
to this tendency toward gold-dlg-glng,
the petite, pert waitress suf
fers from a strong conscience which
Prevents her from actually accept
ing money In order to "forget."
Douglas portrays an English ex
change professor who Is slightly be
wlldered at the frenzied activities
of the American college, and com
pletely dumbfounded at the un
ashamedly predatory, albeit pleasant,
ethics of the lovely waitress. It la
his conniving to straighten the girl
out and heln her a, tn d..,-
good girl that highlights the entire
wmcuy situation.
