"We're Not Dressing"
Singing more songs than he has in any other motion picture Bing Crosby comes un Saturday to the Alhambra Theatre in his new Paramount film "We're Not Dressing." From the original by Benjamin Glazer, "We're Not Dressing" is a breezy romantic song-fest, played against the back- ground of a deserted South Sea island. In addition to Crosby, the film feu- tures Carole Lombard, Georgo Burns and Gracie Allen, Ethel Merman and Leon Errol. Normun Tuureg directed from the screen play by Stephen for Morehouse Avery. The songs Crosby a well as those which Ethel Meran sings, were all written by Mack Gordon and Harry Rovel, con- posers of "Did You Ever See a Dren Walking." Aboard a palatial yacht, Carole Lombard, a wealthy heiress, Is touring the South Pacific with her Two rich suitors and her goofy uncle, Leon Errol.

one. of her sailors, Bing Crosby, to whom she has entrusted the care of her put bear, Droopy. In his drunken moments one foggy night, Errol stumbles into the wheelhouse, opens a door through which all the charts are blown, leaks the compass and they all take up, wrecked on a of deserted isle. Now, with loads work to do, the sailor takes matters into his hands, and to the annoyance of everyone, especially Carole Lom bard, he puts them all to work. Com- plications increase daily, and become quite serious when Burns and Allen, a couple of naturalists, join their camp. How Bing sings his way through their troubles, oventually winning the heart of his wealthy em ployer, brings the picture to an enter. Laining climax.
