Comes Love (Artie Shaw; Bluebird) Most tuneful version of the most tuneful number of Yokel Boy, new Lew Brown musical...
Three hours and a half of musical comedy is too much in any league, and when caught last Monday night Lew Brown's "Yokel Boy Makes Good" at the Shubert, ran to this length. The show, however, was pretty good, and with judicious pruning it might well turn into a smash hit.

Lewis Williams Douglas will not be 45 until next month, but he has already gone far in three careers: business, politics and pedagogy.

Unfortunately, the picture offers little else. During Vernon's early slapstick days--his barber shop scene with Lew Fields, his gaudy, striped coats that are liable to start a national trend, his old-fashioned romance with Irene Foote--the picture proceeds at a light and entertaining pace. The mood of pre-war gaiety and Sunday excursions to the beach at New Rochelle is, made delightfully real. But once...
