Show i t. m . slO Sunday, Sept. 14, 1947 Melody- packed Entertainment " Let,the bells ting, let the band play and let there be dancing in the streets here is a great, grand musical that offers real cause for celebration. "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now," filmed in technicolor and starring June Haver "and Mark Stevens with 'a terrific supporting cast headed by Martha Stewart and 'Reginald Gardiner, is a whopper of a musical entertainment; an alloyed treat for the eye and the ear; a generous shot heart beat in double time, io brief, this is just what the doctor ordered. , - Let it be known, first of all, that George Jessel produced this entertainment bonanza. A. cent with the know-how of entertainment entertain-ment in the very marrow of his bones, Jessel knows 'a good thing when he feels it, and persuaded Twentieth Century-Fox to put uw a mighty handsome budget at bis disposal for the dazzling lavish production that alone would set this film in a class by itself. "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" is based on incidents in the life of Joe Howard, the fabulous Troubadour - composer, whose many hit ballads kept the populace popu-lace whistle-happy at the turn of the century and who paced his own personal life to a merry - high. Today at 80, Joe Howard is stil going strong in the entertainment, entertain-ment, world! It is the lilting, timeless Howard melodies (Goodbye (Good-bye My Lady Love, Hollo!- Ma Baby, Be Sweet to Me Kid, Honeymoon, Whatls the Use of Dreaming, and the title song, that . serve as the heart of this musical feast. And it's the gay era of his heyday that serves as the setting for the film's wonderful story. June Haver romps through this picture in a high style that is sheer delight. She plays the girl "Joe Howard" (Mark Stevens) dismisses as a mere kid until one - day wham! he discovers she's grown up. Petite, blonde and , beautiful, June is just about as talented a gal as Hollywood jean boast. Her singing, dancing and acting in this picture are high points in the top musical of the year. Mark Steven zooms to the head of the musical class with a smooth and ingratiating portrayal of the song-and-dance man who has less trouble with his tunes than with his women. The wonderful won-derful versatility and refreshing personality he displays . here underline un-derline the reasons for Stevens spectacular rise to stardom. Eye-filling Martha Stewart and svelte Lenore Aubert-, both terrific terri-fic singers are excellent -as the first two women in Stevens' life; Reginald Gardiner is at his comedy com-edy best in the true-life role of Will Hough, the droll playwright. Others in the outstanding cast include, in-clude, William Frawley, Gene Nelson, Truman Bradley and George Cleveland. Lloyd Bacon has given Lewis R.-. Foster's screen play (additional dialogue by Marion Turk) keen and spirited spirit-ed direction. As has been suggested.

' 13--Mrs. Hetta George, a scholarly member of a studio research department, de-partment, has found a fascinating hobby in the study of famous redheads, a study admittedly in-f spired by her connection with the forthcoming screen version of "Life With Father," in which Clarence Day, his wife, and four sons' are all brilliantly torch-top ped and in Technicolor. William Powell and Irene Dunne are the parents, and they and the four young actors who play the sons had their hair frequently dipped in dyes of ruddy red. "Father Day," Mrs. George said, "was one of a long line of famous redheads and like his illustrious predecessors, he show ed ' ingenuity, determination, and a flair for the dramatic." Pursuing her new hobby, Mrs George learned that the first fa mous redhead in history was the Queen of Sheba who pre-dated titian Cleapatra by several centuries. cen-turies. William Rufus, son of William Wil-liam the Conqueror, was an early red-haired jman of distinction, followed a few hundred years later by King Barossa. a Turkish adventurer in the 16th Century. On the cultural side of the history his-tory of redheads, Vincent Van Gogh, the, mad painter, stands predominantly. He .overdid the well known titian temperament but upheld the honor of redheads by his artistic accomplishments. In American history, Thomas Jefferson was probably the first great redhead, although his bright locks were hidden most of the time under" one of those Revolutionary Revolu-tionary wigs. ' England's contribution to redhead red-head history rests on the firm shoulders of Queen Elizabeth and on the ; militaristic shoulders of Lord Nelson both of whom, like Father Day, were persons of strong determination. In more modern times, famous redheads include Sarah Bernhardt, Bern-hardt, the great French actress; Sinclair Lewis the author; and, in athletics, "Red" Grange. Mrs. George thinks it is a pity that Miss Dunne and Mr. Powell don't realy have red hair. They are two film stars she would approve ap-prove as notable additionsto her list of famous carrot-tops. memory of its dazzling Hermes Pan dance sequences, its glorious costuming and sets, its music, acting and story will stay with you for a long time to ome.

Anna Naegle, the British star, Nazis Are Still Nazis, Brother DETROIT, Sept. 13 (U.R) A German-born psychologist said today the allies had made little headway in their effort to re-educate the Nazis as pledged in the Potsdam agreement, Dr. Charlotte Buhler, of Los- Angeles, told the 55th annual meeting of the American Amer-ican Psychological association associa-tion that "the Germans don't see the point in re-education and the allies cannot make them see it." To help speed the re-education, she advocated a widespread wide-spread psychological guidance guid-ance service for the family and the establishment of nursery schools. "This would lead us right to the mother and into the heart o fthe German family," Dr. Buhler said. SUPER VERSATILITY!
