October In July Is A Good Idea
Columbia's "The Return of October,"
light-hearted romantic comedy starring Glenn Ford and Terry Moore, is the The
week-end attraction nt the Queen's and Alhambra
Theatres.
A gay Technicolor comedy It hs that once-in-a-great-while quality so splendidly represented by the well-remembered "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and "It Happened Ono Night" Thủ bit- ter-sweet appeal of the .คนน radiates from sequences involving numera laughs: some invling & tear or two, and still others offer- ing tingling thrills.
The screen play sets a fast pace from the beginning. Miss Terry Moore, a fetching miss, is stag- gered when she sees October, a racehorse, who looks amazingly like her Uncle Willie.
The animal affects a crumpled hat, craves petuhla, likes Amos 'n Andy, and has other characteris- ties possessed by her lote uncle. For sentimental reasons she buys the horse at an auction, planning to enter han in the Kentucky Derby.
That's just a hint of the zany doings Glenn Ford, a shy kind of guy unsuspectingly walks into, Glenn, a professor of psychology, also wants October for his experi- nents, but he's no match for the tenacious Terry, who, with little cash, but plenty of brass, ac quired the disputed equine.
This starts an acquaintance | which eventually ripens into love,j especially when Miss (Moore en- dearingly refers to Ford дя I "schnookle." But when the "schnookle" discovers her "haliu- cination" about Uncle Willie, he regards her curiously; to say the least. So do relatives who are dished out of inheriting a fortune because Terry is named heiress. They promptly charge her with insanity. The running of the D by in the ellmax decides Terry's, fate,

Steve Fitzgerald might have viewed his brief interlude in Ire- land as merely an idyllie dream. Certainly, working for the egotis- tical publisher, D. C. Augur (Leo J. Cobb) back in New York, and being subjected to the wilds of his glamorous daughter Frances room (Jayne Meadows) left no for such dreams.
But then up turns Horace (Cecil Kellaway), the little man who seems to be the very "I" of the spirit of the Iriah, and then Nora, herself, arrives in a New York subway, and bewildered Fitz soon finds himself whirling, in series of complications that are to give his sense of romance, an enchanting jon.
