Theatera:
Lucille Ball* Harry James
Starred in Fast Musical
With Horrr Jam«t on the tnimj)#! and Lucille Ball on
the danoe-floor, •’BEST FOOT FORWARD" gets oU to o bet-
ter-than*zTera9e etort. The huge clan of Jamei who
would rather listen to his flashy, well-memorised rifis than
eat their porridge for supper will go for this one in a big
way. Miss Ball, who has something on it for sure, U cast in
the role of a skidding movie queen who accepts on invita
tion to a Military ocademy’s grand prom with a mascared
eye toward the publicity involved. All goes well, os it us
ually does in Hollywood, until the hapless cadet who in
vited her runs into trouble from his regulor girl. Donees,
gags, and the 4th-of-Iuly tootling of Maestro James are
dragged in ot vorious points during the proceedings to needle
a thrice-stolen plot into the second blush of youth.
This movie veratra of Oeorge^
Abbott’s long-running Broadway
musical features William Oaxton
and Virginia Weldler tn supporting
roles. Well worth your iSo, how
ever, with a Newsreel and a Com
munity stng thrown In for good
measure, as It runs at both Post
Theatres this Sunday and Uonday.
“Bo Proudly We Ball,” Para
mount Pictures’ offering on the al-
tareof this war, le notable for the
fact that It contains three (count
'em) three lady-stars named Clau
dette Colbert, Paulette Ooddard,
and Veronica Lake, whom you
may have beard of somewhere be
fore. Tliese three young ladles are
cast as Army Nurses during the
battle at Bataan and subsequent
seige of Corregldor. A large oudg-
et and a good supporting cast
have been expended to make this
an entertainment success. Worth
while is the startling array of uni
forms the girls take pleasure In
displaying. We understand there
are also some battle scenes. Run-'
ning wlUi a newsreel Thursday and'
Prway.
Fans who’ve followed the Falcon i

Two Tommies
Beat Invasion
ITALy— —Two Brlttata
dlers who landed In Italy six days
ahead of the Eighth Aztay and
received the premoJae of XtaUan
troops not to fire on the tovasion
forces were liberated from prison
by civilian guards.
The former London “Bobby” and
the former Torkahire school teach
er told this story of the virtual
complete breakdown of the Italian
Aniw’s will to resist.
“If the SUghtb Army’s Invasion
had been delayed a couple of daya
longer we oould have persuaded
the Italians to surrender Intact. As
It was any munber of Italians
wanted to cross the Messina
Straits and give themselves up
in Sicily. It seemed as if all ol
them were plotting to do that.’
