...weak whisper. Eleanor Powell is well cast, because she is also unable to act. She appears in those long black silk stockings, does a few unoriginal dance numbers and lets it go at that. It is left to Frank Morgan and a light-footed little man named Ray Bolger to give the picture its few redeeming features, but they are not enough. And to make matters worse, "Borrowing Trouble," another saga of the Jones family, finishes off the bill. The whole thing is unfortunate...

Ziegfeld cracked the whip over...
...Patrick Henry Dolan, C. S. C., as director, last week's retreat attracted 1,300 Catholics. As distinguished from retreatants elsewhere, they observed strict silence even at mealtimes, heard for the first time a nonreligious talk, by the University's Economics Professor Rev.

Into his own at last comes gangling, homely Ray Bolger, whose feet are loaded with as much "swing" as Benny Goodman's jazzband. In On Your Toes, Bolger has his first chance to establish himself as a definite stage personality rather than a funny Broadway tap dancer.
