No one could help enjoying this light-hearted stuff, with Lillian Harvey, a madcap, but innocent Nell Gwynn, dancing' across stages, through royal palaces and into men's hearts. Lillian sings and acts well, she has Stanley Lupino's gift of comedy panic, but she's best of all as a dancer. She is far and away the best dancer on the films, and, give her a stage, a band, and a cheering crowd, and she rises to quite astonishing heights.

"My Lips Betray" is the story of a girl who is thought to be the King's favourite: How the rumour spreads is another delightful epi-
