...Night in Lisbon (Paramount). They (Fred MacMurray and Madeleine Carroll) meet in an empty air-raid shelter in London. He is a self-consciously cute American busily flying bombers to Britain. She is a rich and proper English girl dutifully chauffeuring a War Office Earl (Edmund Gwenn). He swears they made this date 10,000 years ago. She is baffled. He makes duck calls at her. She flees...
...state that hasn't wanted any publicity since she backed the wrong horse in the Civil War. Virginia is the name-yassuh. That's the name of the picture showing at the Met this week and there are a lot of wrong horses in the picture, too. Fred MacMurray is a good old Irish southern gentleman who loves to see the tobacco grow and the young fillies fill out. He wants to keep Virginia for the folks who love Virginia. Yassuh. He can keep Virginia if it is the same state that Madeline Carrol comes back to. She comes back...

For cinemaddicts who adore child actresses, Virginia makes the most of four-year-old Carolyn Lee. After Honeymoon in Bali (also with Carroll & MacMurray) Carolyn's steel executive father took her home to Martins Ferry, Ohio, was persuaded by Director Griffith to give her another whirl in pictures. But the real news in Virginia's cast is 24-year-old Stirling Hayden, who had never acted in anything before-not even...
Blue-eyed Newcomer Hayden is half Dutch, half British, looks a little like James Stewart. Biggest leading man in Hollywood (6 ft. 4 in., 212 lb.), he is taller than Joel McCrea or Gary Cooper, an inch taller than Fred MacMurray. Hayden's smooth job of acting in Virginia made him a star. His next picture, with Dorothy Lamour, will be Dildo Cay. Scene: a desolate island in the West Indies...
