A great clean-up of vice and immorality in Britain's seaport Lawns is promised in the near future as the result of recent surveys. Disturbed by the revelations in these reports, Mr. Leonard Row- den, high official of the National Union of Seamen, is taking a per- sonal Interest, in the campaign. Britain took the lead in a world- wide movement to wipe out unsavoury dens which sprout like mush- rooms in every dockside area, writes a Home correspondent.

As in her previous singing roles In One Night of Love"" "The King Steps Out" and "When You're In

GINGER ROGERS

SPECIAL

The troubles that beset a young college professor and his nightclub bride on

Stewart is cast as a botany in- structor in a small university who visits New York in quest of his playboy cousin, James Ellision The latter is on his semi-annual big-city spree, and this time he is engaged in a sit-down strike at a night club for the purpose of win- ning the attention of Ginger Ro- gers, featured entertainer.

Stewart finds his pleasure-bent cousin, but in so doing he falls des- perately in love with the beautiful dancer and singer, who, amazingly enough, is similarly attracted to fessor: this serious-thinking young pro-
