like Gloria Stuart in this modern, up-to-the-minute fim. Miss Stuart has never had a better opportunity to display her beauty and her act- ing ability than in this musical.
The secret of successful sales- manship as expounded by Pryor provides this picture with a gleer- ful zest, that is irresistable.
The story is a happy mixture of so- phisticated dialogue, wise cracking ines, scintillating songs and dan- cing feet. Through this light and frothy frolic runs the serious vein of a good girl who is determined to stay that when "fe comples herto sacrifice herself to the Great God Mammon.
Miss Stuart and Pryor are hap pily teamed together for the first time, sharing featured honours. A truly splendid cast of players sur- round them in lovely Marian Marsh, Shirley Grey, Noel Madi- son. Lucille Gleason, Mickey Roo- ney, Gloria Shea and others.
The song hits of the picture are I Like It That Way" "Miss 1934' and "Let's Fut Two and Two To- "gether." all of which are being heard on the radio constantly.
