HOUGH Tyrone Power and Robert Tavior (with Mvyma Loy in “Lucky Night)) are brandnew bhridegrooms, the managers at the Circle and Loew's aren't anticipating much difference in the stars’ boxoffice draw next week, one way or the other. Apparently such mundane things as wives do not freeze the adulation market: Witness the admiring thousands who jammed Cadle Tabernacle last winter for a sight and sound of Newlvwed Nelson Eddy =

True or not, the studio certainly got its money's worth.

“Man About Town,” which has Jack Benny, Phil Harris, Mattv Malneck and Dorothy Lamour, among others Walter Wanger's “Winter Carnival” is to be on the tuneful side, and Republic is doing “Stand Up and Sing” and “Hit Parade.” In a more serious vein will be Samuel Goldwyn's “Music School,” with Jascha Heifetz, x » »

ERHAPS Hollywood feels that the two world’s fairs will put the customers in a mood for more tap-and-tune entertainment during the winter months. At any rate, with 10 musical comedies now running on Broadway and all these films in preparation, one probably would find it hard, for the first time in several seasons, to find a former chorus gir] waiting table in a Hollywood nutburger stand. » By wav of contrast, the movie makers also seem bent upon feeding us a little strong meat in 1939-40.

The story is that of disillusioned soldiers on both sides in the last Great War who meet at a German rison camp to face the dismal fact that they are no longer wanted. Jean Gabin plays the role of the French war ace who is dropped with his companion behind the German lines. He escapes to finally meet a young German widow, Dita Parlo, who shelters him and his companion until they make their escape into Switzerland.
