What chance has love between a millionaire's son and a personal

romantic question propounded in the Fox hit, "Secret Interlude" opening to-day at the Star Theatre with Robert Taylor and Loretta Young starred together for the first time as a screen love-

team.

Filled with youthful love-max- ing, gay romancing, and vivid drama highlighted with hilarious comedy by the irrepressible Patsy Kelly, "Secret Interlude" is said to be the year's outstanding romantie hit.

Robert Taylor only son of the wealthy Windeld family returns home from college and mistakes Loretta Young, his mother's maid for a house guest. He refuses to permit her to explain her situation and this first chance meeting is the keystone of a romance which cul- minates when the family go to Maine for the summer.

Miss Young has accompanied Mrs. Winfield, and the amali con- fines of the summer resort result In Taylor and the girl being thrown together constantly. One moonlit night, while riding in Taylor's motorboat, they decide to get mar- ried.

The Winfields return to their home at the end of summer, and Taylor wants to tell his parents of the marriage, Loretta, however. persuades him that he should first finish his college education and Taylor goes off to school.

The romantic climax of the film comes in # crowded courtroom

where Taylor and Miss Young meet ugain-and the riddle of whether or not their love can continue to exist is answered.

Darryl F. Zanuck selected Roy Dei Ruth to direct the film and Raymond Griffith associate ducer.
