SMARTEST GIRL IN
TOWN
Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern reach new heights in the spark- ing, comedy-romance, "Smartest Girl in Town," which is showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day.
Delightful humour is combined
with a fast-moving plot which gives the fullest play to the ver- satile talents of one of the screen's most popular romantic teams.
The comedy, which is definitely keyed to ultra-modern entertain. ment tastes, is built around the marital aims of a lovely photo- grapher's model, Miss Sothern, who decided that the pathway to con nubial bliss must be paved with guld.
**
Miss Sothern displays an array of fashionable,feminine garb which features an ensemble suitable for every hour on the clock, Evening gowns, sport attire, street dresses, cocktail gowns, luncheon frocks, dinner costumes-the lovely Ann is swathed in these outats designed by Bernard Newman.
