Tempestuous Carole Lombard Steals Show From Wm, Powell In "MY Man Godfrey"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Carole Lombard, whom we once thought was through, rose to tempestuous heights to steal the show from the suave William Powell in the most laughable comedy since "The Thin Man." Put "My Man Godfrey," now being held over for a second week at Keiths on your must list.

Powell, smiling, superior, quietly humorous, was far outshone by the impetuous Lombard. Madcap society daughter Lombard suffers from a bitter jealousy of her older sister. Searching for a forgotten man to help beat her sister in a scavenger hunt, Lombard finds Powell living on the city dump. Grateful to him for having helped beat her sister, Lombard adopts Powell as her protege and gives him the position of butler.

Alice Brady Excellent

Here Powell meets the family--Alice Brady, who turned in an excellent characterization of a scatter-brained society matron; Gail Patrick, a rather unpleasant older sister; and Eugene Pallete, the harassed father. You may not find an ounce of sense in this picture, but you'll enjoy it thoroughly.
