That universally popular inging pair-Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson .t,;ddy-are co-starred in "Ro. e
.1. la1·1e," the principal attraction at the Metro this week. The film is one of the most delightful musical show ever seen in this country, and iLS 1' beautiful ongs, which were uch a feature of the stage production of
"Rose Marie" years ago, lose none of their charm with the passing of time. Those old favouriLes, "The Indian Love Call," '~Rose Marie" and
"Song of the Mounties," as sung by Jeanette MacDcmald and Nelson £ddy in the film version, are bound to de- light large audiences at the Metro.
The picture also boasts ome parti- cularly beautiful scenic hots, and is altogeth r an excellent production.

Beautiful Ann Sheridan, Holly- wood's "Oomph Girl," appears a. a talented card sharper in the film
"Torrid Zon ," which is showing at the Plaza this week.

Formby Film at Curzon
George Formby has one of the fun- niest rol s of his screen career in the film, "Let George Do It," to b seen at the Curzon this week. A number of highly amu ing episodes are strung together in a diverting story of a British Secret Service agent whose business it is to discover an enemy organisation which is giving informa- tion to U Boats about departing vessels. Particularly hilarious is a dream sequence in which George meet Hitler and engages in a fight with him. The picture reaches a high level of scr en entertai.nment and is one which no Formby fan will care to miss.
Bette Davis at Colosseum
"All This and Heaven Too," the film based on Rachel Field's best- seller of that name, has attracted
such large audiences to. the Colosseum that it is .now entering on its second week at that theatre. Starring Bette Davis and Charles. Boyer, the film is outstanding bot;h for the superb act- ing of this gifted pair and for ~he intrinsic interest of the plot, which tells an almost forgotten story of a scandal which rocked France .nearly a hundred years ago. Some ex- ceedingly talented child-stars appear in the picture, and make a consider- able contribution to the polished acting to be seen in this film.

"Winter Carnival" at 20th Century
Believing that film audiences will welcome a gay re pite from the pres-
sure of present-day living, Walter Wanger has produced a diverting story in "Winter Car.nival," which will open at the 20th Century Theatre shortly. In it are starred the vivacious Ann Sheridan and Richard Carlson, and a large cast of Holly- wood's outstanding artists, amo.ng them being Helen Parrish, Joan Brodel, Vi:rginia Gilmore, James Corner, and Alan Baldwin. The direc- tion of the film was in the hands of Charles Riesner.
The fresh, zestful spirit of winter- time and out-of-doors dominates t ·
fast-paced and tumultuous roma in which Miss Sheridan is too att tive and wealthy to have a priv life, a.nd the result is a
a
