Humour, melody and rhythm are skilfully blended to make "Naughty but Nice," the Warner Bros. prö- duction featuring Ann Sheridan, Dick Powell and Gale Page, which opens today as the King's Theatre the most satisfying dish of comedy entertainment that has come from Hollywood in many months.
It is refreshingly novel too, for It canno; be classified under any restricted form of comedy. In its complications it is farcical' and it has many touches of that crazy cock-eyed humour which can be so amusing when not done to reple- tion, and ye; underlying it all is the spirit of Arst-rate satire.
What it satirizes is the indus try art or business, sa you pre- fer-of supplying the world wih new songs to sing, whistle, Hum gr dance to. It drags out into the light the skeletong ih "the closete of the purveyors of popu lar music, but that's not done. in the manner of a serious expose. The only objective is laughs, and the picture garners a bounteous crop of them. '
