Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 21, 1952, Winnipeg, Manitoba Feet of lumber go up in flames Vancouver three alarm fire tuesday night destroyed Between and Board feet of lumber As it ripped through a storage shed Here.

K-12-Li Jane Powell Fred As Tylre Royal wedding color Marie Wilson John Lund my Friend Luma general just across the Street reunion in Reno o films can live As cheaply As one on a double Bill but there is no guarantee that if they were added together the t Robert Mutchum Jane Russell William Bendix adult sum total would reach one sub Stantial feature. This week tiie Garrick is showing two whisky movies one of them concerning a problem child who wants to divorce her parents the other Deal ing with a Young woman who works for a plumber under false pretences. Both just across the Street and reunion in Reno could have at the limit been stretched to half an hour apiece. Even with Light hearted Pace agreeable performances and some amusing scenes they Are hard put to run their course As full fledged Fea Tures however. It is even possible Fiat reunion in Reno could have Turners into a poignant study of a child whose sense of Security is wrecked when she hears a Chance and foolish remark by her Mother. The seen artists however. I h a v e chosen to treat is As an exercise in whimsy and the situation is All but Smoth 1 ered in treacle and resolved in theatrical and highly unlikely fashion. Gigi per Reau h o the child is doubt less a highly accomplished Little actress but she has not been called upon to de liver much More than studied cute Ness of manner. Gift artics in Reno suit Case and Teddy Bear in hand and visits an attorney to de Mand that he divorce her from her. Parents. The hard boiled attorney that this is no matter Lor the police and he resolves to get at the Bot Tom of the Case. The child s reticence stalls up the prob Lem Long enough for the Alite to soften up and also to indulge in a Romance with a pretty proprietor of a Public stenographic Bureau. There Are Sunie fairly diverting moments in reunion in Reno but the wheels of the plot Are too obviously in motion and so is the fact that in glossing Over an essentially tragic situation with Light fingers they have hidden the compulsive theme. Refreshingly sincere Mark Stevens is engaging enough As the lawyer Peggy Dow is refreshingly unpretty and sincere As the Steno and the rest of the cast includes Ray Collins Leif Erick son Frances Dee and Fay Baker. Miss Baker in the role of a hard i boiled Secretary manages to make her Brief assignment a Good Deal More amusing than it deserves. In Case you be wanted to get a glimpse of the divorce capital of Reno the movie was filmed there. Which brings us to just across the Street. There in t a germ of a serious idea in this one and it has fittingly been decked out As a Giddy farce. However there has not been enough funny devices to cover the Bones of the theme Al though there Are some Amus ing enough single scenes. Ann Sheridan plays the role a hard boiled working girl who is cursed with a bib Ulous father and the need a Job. She manages to get a Post at the plumbing shop across the Street and the rather dim witted proprietor John Lund gets the idea she is a Rich girl. The deception involves or. Lund driving miss Sheridan Miles across town after Ann Sheridan which she wearily makes her Way just Back where she started. This results in some funny complications but repetition dulls the Edge. Begins to hum it is not until the final couple of reels however when things begin to Hunt and there is some farcical double talk that the com Edy really begins to jell. Miss Sheri Dan is Good Nat redly hard boiled in her role and the part the Bumpious plumber suits or. Lund. More amusing however Are Cecil Kellaway As miss Sheri Dan s father Robert Keith As a magnate who i pets his wife of infidelity Naif Alie Shafer As the wife and Alan Mowbray As an understandably perplexed Butler.
