“FACE IN THE SKY” IS A SHEER DELIGHT

Every so often in the parade of screen offerings there comes a picture that is a sheer delight to see, a picture that tells its story so charmingly and entertainingly that the reviewer is tempted to stand up and shout about it to the world “Face in the Sky” at the Gayble Theatre, North Judson, Friday and Saturday, February 10, 11th is such a picture. With a worthwhile cast, one of the most appealing stories you could hope to see, Lee Garmes’ photography, and the novel direction and treatment of Harry Lachman, this Fox Film triumph is herewith nominated for a leading place in screen entertainment. The theme revolves around a whimiscal romance between two dreamers, one a little country girl, the other a swaggering young signboard artist who meets her on a Vermont farm. You must see a film of this kind to appreciate it. Airy and at times almost fantastic, the story has been handled in an utterly flawless manner that immediately places Lachman in his first American screen effort, among the foremost directors. Spencer Tracy turns in what is possibly his finest performance as the self-assured “artist”, wilh Marion Nixon a perfect contrast as the heroine and the inimitable Stuart Erwin in a made-to-order role as Tracy’s blundering helper. Sarah Padden and Sam Hardy head the supporting cast, and Myles Con nolly deserves praise for his story.
