The dearth of good screen productions in Hub theatres, which has been rather noticeable these past few weeks, seems destined to continue a while longer, at least as far as the Metropolitan is concerned. "Someone to Love," the Publix offering which opened yesterday, may perhaps be best described by the term naive.

William Shelby, acted by Charles "Buddy" Rogers, imaginative, alert, and determined clerk in a high class music store, falls in love with one who is heir to $20,000,000, Mary Brian, who, of course, does not object to him. She does the obvious, but her position in the social world does not long remain a secret. The ship of good fortune, sailing along with spinnakers set runs onto a hidden reef in the form of a pair of Shelby's fortune-hunting friends. Nothing, however, can possibly down our determined music salesman.

The stage production fails to rise even above the standard set by the picture. A certain element of the Boston population is successfully catered to by Pat Rooney and family, while Gene Rodemich continues his sylphlike capers before his playboys.
