"Swing High, Swing Low," the dramatic romance with music which is showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day. is a brilliant love story masterfully directed and Horror-high-lighted by good, music, dan-
cing and gorgeous settings.
Marking Foster's Brst directorial venture, the film also brings to- gether a new romantic team, with Betty Furness and John Howard Payne lured by the spell of the desert into love at first sight, only to have their happy romance In- terrupted by the swift stroke of sudden death, when a millionaire guest is mysteriously murdered,
The plight of the stricken guests
seems hopeless when, after repeated attacks by the unknown killer, their plea for help is answered by an apparent ly ineffectual and timorous sleuth who himself declares his inepti- tude for the dangerous task of catching the desperate criminal.
It is also a pictures with many pleasant surprises for movie-goers. Beautiful Carole Lombard, who is co-starred with Fred MacMurray, sings and dances in the film for the first time revealing talents which are certain to lift her even to greater heights of popularity.
