In addition to the latest March of Time, recently reviewed and recommended by this department, the University's current bill offers two excellent comedies. Robert Montgomery and Franchot Tone, as two of the loves in "Three Loves has nancy," account for the success of this film and give smooth portrayals of drunken, debonair men about town. Janet Gaynor is cast in the role of Nancy, a wide-eyed little bumpkin who comes to New York, churns her own butter, smiles at strange men and strikes a note of innocence and simplicity in the empty, superficial lives of her aforementioned loves. Although Miss Gaynor takes her mission a little too seriously and detracts from what was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek farce, the film is thoroughly enjoyable. Very nearly as good is "Time Out For Murder," in which a reporter (Michael Whalen) solves an involved but ingenious murder. Chick Chandler, as Mr. Whalen's photographer and constant companion, contributes excellent humor throughout, and Gloria Stuart, as a beautiful bill collector turned detective, gives the picture the light touch needed to put it over.
