...dancer, who marries Melvyn Douglas, a member of the rich, aristocratic family of Lindens. Robert Young, in the process of trying to prevent the marriage, falls in love with Miss Crawford himself, much to the distress of his wife, Margaret Sullavan, and his sister, Fay Bainter. Outstanding is the script, which brightens what might have been a dull problem drama; and the acting, especially of Miss Sullavan and Miss Bainter, is uniformly good. The whole is an engrossing story of real people, with development of character as well as objective incident to heighten the well-sustained interest...
Three songs, "From Me to You," "I Dance Alone," and "Back Home," by Alan J. Lerner '41 and Sherwood Rollins, Jr. '40 will be played by Ruby Newman's Orchestra on the opening night, March 22.

...Circle aims to stand or fall by a novel format of radio entertainment-a round-table type of informal-sounding chatter about anything under the limited radio sun, participated in by the elect of the entertaining world.

Early guests were...
...this strange new symposium, an encouraging 13 to 14 of every 100 listeners stay tuned in Sunday nights. But the rigors of getting the script in shape and the renewed clamor that radio work takes some of the twinkle out of cinema stars have had an effect on the players themselves. Last week, with Lombard, Grant and Tibbett scheduled to be off, Ronald Colman asked for. and got, release from his contract. This left last Sunday's show in a bad spot. Grant was lured back, Basil Rathbone rounded up. The show went on, distinguished mainly by the singing...
...insignia and wings without-forming the background of almost every scene, they add the only element of color to an insipid "Wings of the Navy," currently at the Metropolitan. Built around a trite story of two brothers in a naval flying school, the picture contains little acting, a dull script, and slowly paced direction. Olivia DeHavilland, apex of the now-winged eternal triangle, has nothing to do except be ornamental; John Payne, who wins the girl from George Brent and sells the airplane (replete with wings) to the government, makes the most of an exceedingly limited role. Only the photography...
