starring Robert Taylor and Greer
Garson, with Lew Ayres, which
opens Thursday at the Joy Theatre.
It’s a tonic for every member of
the lamily, one of the gayest ro
mantic comedies of modern married
life that has come to the screen in
many a month, with a hundred
smiles, chuckles and laughs in every
reel.
Taylor tops any past performance
in the action role of a young adver
tising executive who falls in love
with his pal’s fiancee at first
sight, marries her after a whirl
wind elopement, and then has to
call for help. In the role of Linda,
Miss Garson, the charming Kathie
of “Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” proves
that she is every bit as versatile
and appealing in comedy as she is
in drama. Completing the happy
threesome is Ayres as Sky Ames
who loses his best gal to his best
pal and then brings them back to
gether when their marriage fails
through misunderstandings.
