HAPPY
"Love, Honour and Behave," the picture now showing at the Queen's' Theatre, might have had the sub- title, "How not to get a divorce in spite of the in-laws"-and that is exactly what the story is all about! Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane play the parts of childhood sweet- hearts who get married and find their relatives exasperating.
Priscilla, who has the most en- chanting voice, sings that new swing sensation, "Bet Mir Bist du Schoen."
