Sparkling, scintillating and gay. with all the vivacity that is so much a part of gorgeously feminine Loretis Young. "Three Blind Mice," her newest roman- cing portrayal of a modern Ameri-|
the can.: girl, opens today at King's Theatre as a rousing hit, with Joel McCrea sharing the star honouTS.
This 20th Century-Fox produc tion, under the personal super- vision of Darryl F. Zanuck and directed by the master of gay dramatic touches, William A. Sel- ter, is splendid entertainment..
Not content with the choice of. three of Hollywood's most beauti- ful women as the "Three Biind Mice," the producer has built
a
cast around Stephen Powys' ` Bà yet unproduced stage play that includes another trio of almland's best known masculine names.
Binnie Barnes and Jane Dar well complete the featured cast. The screen play Was prepared Holmes and Lynn Raymond Griffith was associate producer."
