It will be as near as possible like the Montgomery home in Connecticut, and the star swears he is going to introduce Hollywood to pie at breakfast. Carole Lombard s intimates don't know whether to credit Clark , Gable, her boy friend, or Mitchell j Leisen, her director, but they all agree that Carole has shown more development as an actress in the last year than any other star in Hollywood. The blonde Lombard ■ gives another swell performance in “Swing High, Swing Low”, and looks too luscious. You'll scarcely recognize the play, "Burlesque", in this adaptation, and won’t care, for the new sequences are the best. Photography by Teddy Tetzlaff makes it clear why Carole refuses to have any one else behind the camera. The Lombard singing voice, heard in this one, is nothing ■ to write home about. She really speaks her numbers. But she has a trick of delivery that makes them sultry. Day's Gossip. . . .
