of solid entertainment and the
thrills and chills make it the best

cast.
SPANKING SCENE
FULL OF REALISM—
Although Brenda Joyce can boast
that her role in Elsa Maxwell’s

foregone the honor.
During the filming of the new
20th Century-F-x picture which
comes Saturday to the Joy Theatre,
Brenda was spanked seven succes
sive times by George Murphy who
shares the romantic lead with her.
For this hilarious sequence, Murphy
was required to turn Brenda over
his knee and paddle her—but hard.
