The Moviegoer

At Keith Memorial

To anyone who has seen the uproarious "Bachelor Mother," Ginger Rogers' performance in "Fifth Avenue Girl" must seem somewhat of a disappointment. The fault, however, lies not with Miss Rogers, but with the producers, who have furnished her with a hackneyed story of family misfortune and bickering among New York's upper crust. Although devoid of the sparkling dialogue and unusual situations of the earlier film, "Fifth Avenue Girl" does have numerous entertaining moments, particularly the scenes of nocturnal love in Central Park. Excellent acting by the leading players also contributes towards making up at least in part for the weak plot; Miss Rogers is as luscious and lovely as ever and receives able support from Walter Connolly, the harried, home-loving financier who prefers beef stew to champagne.

"Full Confession," the second feature on the program, is still another of the ho-hum variety of gripping dramas.
