for the product ion of Noel Coward ' s Hayfever to be presented by the Wil l iam and M a r y Theat r e on May 1 and 2.
The p layers who have been in other Will iam and M a r y productions a re f inding th i s coming play quite an in te res t ing one on which to work, especially since i t affords oppor tuni ty for them to t r y t h emselves in p a r t s different f rom those in which , t hey have been former ly cas t .

J a m e s Buchholtz, who was the old Mr. Fos te r in Kind Lady and the r a t h e r absent-minded professor in Our Town h a s a complete change of character , as he is p lay ing the p a r t of Sandy Ty-rell, the young a m a t e u r boxer.
Dorothy Ogden, Noel Lamber t , and Nata l ie Nichols, t he t h r ee s tudents who a re mak ing the i r f i rs t appearance in long roles in a William and Mary Thea t r e production, also have in te res t ing pa r t s . Miss Ogden h a s 'stepped from a small p a r t in F i r s t Lady to the lead in Hayfever, for she plays the p a r t of Jud i th Bliss, t he ac t ress a round whom all the action centers . Noel Lamber t took p a r t of the shy li t t le l aundry gir l 'Op 0' Me Thumb, a Wren Workshop presenta t ion , and she is now play ing Clara, the pa t ien t maid.

The Barbizon is the home of college clubs in New York. Why? Perhaps it's because the Barbizon offers so many more of the smart interesting things that appeal to college girls. Daily it presents a harmonious medley of cultural and physical activities . . . musicales . . . art lectures . . . dramatics . . . a fine library . . . swimming pool . . . sun deck . . , squash courts. Another reason why college girls prefer living in The Barbizon Manner is its location . . . in the midst of New York's most fashionable residential section, yet convenient to important business centers, art gal.eries, museums, theatres and schools.

t f There are only five more weeks until Final
Exams take over!

All last week the teams representing William and Mary worked out, played games and, finally, on Saturday took a day off as the weather took over a supreme command of the situation. The snow and cold was just too much for the sunny South. But, it is not too much to cool the spirits of the spirited Indians from Williamsburg. They are. digging in for the long stretch before those final exams in May.
However, the topic which seems to be the most interesting at this point is who is going to pitch in the opening game of the season. Willamsburg? No! Up in Shibe Park in Philadelphia, at the Polo Grounds and at all the other parks where Big League baseball is played. For Tuesday (today) is the day when the'great American game comes out of the South into the land of the paying customers.
When the smoke of this year's pennant is cleared this column will venture to say that the dependable New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs will be in there ready to play for the World's Championship. What's more, the Yankees will win the Series but not until good old Jerome Banner "Dizzy" Dean has shown the skeptic that he does play some pretty' good ball when he is not shooting off his mouth. To be sure, he will make up for the $100.00 fine that manager Gabby Hartnett slapped on him last week for insubordination. It seems that even Mrs. Dizzy Dean can't keep her Dizzy in check any more than the Cub directors. She in fact, made him pay the fine without any squawk. Yes, the bonuses that he will collect for winning ball games will mount up to plenty more than a mere $100.00. But, enough for Dizzy and his favorite game.
Coming back to Williamsburg for a quick look around, we see that the tennis which William and Mary plays as typical of the school is pretty poor. On the recent trip they (the team) played match after match without winning. But, that is not the point. It seems that there are men in school who do know how to play and who do not want to get out and play. That is pretty poor spirit! Indeed, the column would like to see a team that would more truly represent William and Mary on the tennis court.
Another item of passing interest is the Softball pitching of one Harold Burchfield, star of the Sigma Rho. He is an exceptional pitcher and any team that gets more than two or three hits off his delivery can consider themselves very good. But, Burchfield is not the only good soft-ball pitcher in the league! When he and Waldo Mathews of the S. A. E. get tangled in a game there is going to be plenty of fireworks and, no matter who wins, the winner may well be proud of their work. It will be a great game to watch and there should be a faiit-sized crowd on hand to witness it. More power to the winner!
Which is a reminder that the intramural competition is rapidly sealing a close. The rise of the Phi Kappa Tau has been tb? sm prise of the year. They are not a flar.hy bur>ch but just stearic sluggers. That h vby they fcr.v'a re^-hed the Ixp o'c t ^ ; "ooitti. However the strain of inv;

... tween the Kappa Kappa Cam-'•• -''s and the Kappa Alpha The-
•* the former took singles win-Yg,- 2 to 1, but lost the doubles,
to 0. Among the dormitorits, '-andler defeated the Day stud-•its winning double and single
"•'Etches, while Jefferson won its • .g'le match and secured doubles • West Barrett's default. At •st glance at the organizations
. appears that Kappa Delta T i hi, and Jefferson may have a-•isng the strongest teams; but it
too early to begin predicting, earns are urged to be represented . all scheduled games. In the line of badminton, the
A. Council is planning to put •• courts on the campus sides . the girl's dorms. The Jeffer-
..<: Gym is also open for use v»ry Monday, Wednesday and 'riday afternoon.
Three more sports are pending OP the intramural program. Af-to1* brdminton, there will be canoeing, archery, and a Softball game between two of the dorms In a been planned. To date, the total scores in the " intramural tournament show that some pretty shaip competition is yet to come, for Gamma Phi 'stands a-hpad of her nearest opponent, CM Omega by just 15 points, holding 540 to their 525. Then the next two • sororities are neck and neck with scores of 430 apiece, Kappa Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma being the tied teams, while Kappa Alpha Theta holds 420, and Pi Beta Phi has 410. The Tri Belts follow with 885, and Alpha Chi and Phi Mu complete the list with 360.
In the dormitory league. Jefferson Leads with 635, an insecure margin over West Barrett's 615. In third place a t the present time, Brown has 565 with Chandler close behind with 535. East Barrett with 480 cannot be considered out of the race. With the remaining sports on the program and the closeness of the scores so far, any man's guess as to the final results would be as good as another's.
Phi Tan Near Victory As Season Ends
Working their way up gradually, Phi Kappa Tau has managed to take posession of first place with a total of 581 points. Coming up behind the Phi Taus is Phi Alpha with 518 points closely followed by the Lambda Chis who have 511. Still right up in the race with an excellent chance to came out on top when the year end and scores are totaled up are Sigma Eho with 486 points and Sigma Pi with 446.
As things look now the large team trophy given at the end of the year will probably go to one of the five team mentioned above. They are way ahead of the other fraternities, and with only six sports left to complete the year the chances for one of the trailing teams to accumulate a lot of points and catch up are very slight.
The situation as it stands now is unusual as well as excellent. In former years by the time the intramural program reached this stage one or two teams were so far in the lead that all others had lost interest. This year with five fraternities fighting it out for first place the keen competition that has featured all the play should continue right up to the end.
The bad spell of weather immediately proceeding the weekend held up the program somewhat Due to wet grounds it was necessary to postpone all Softball games and horseshoe matches scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The results of Softball games played so far are as fol-, lows: S. A. E, 31—Pi X. A. 8; Kappa Alpha 21—Phi Tau 11; Sigma Pi 20—Phi Alpha 4. All games that were postponed will be played as soon as the regular scheda'e is completed.

OLPERSWIN The William and Mary GclX to rn
met and defeated the Apprentice School of Newport News m match played last week. The play was hard, interesting* and exciting- with the Shipbuilders matching the Indians stroke for stroke throughout most of a match. The end of the day showed William and Mary to be ahead by a 9 1-2 to 8 1-2 score,
The Indians were paced by Bob Hornsby who turned in the low card for the day. Stellar performances were also turned in by Hornsby's team mates Pinky Newton, Mac Trotter, and Bob Vining. The team is rapidly improving and the form shown in the last match is much improved over that shown earlier in the year. Off to a rather poor start the boys have improved enough to make things for "the future- look more cheerful.
The improved team should show their worth this week. They left today on a trip that will carry them around the state. At Lexington -they will meet. VMI and Washington and Lee. From there they will journey to Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers. Following a match with Hampden-Sidney they will return to Williamsburg for some competition on the home course.

Freshmen Rally; Defeat Brave Hopewell Nine
In a game last week against the Hopewell High School the freshmen served notice that they have a good baseball team. They came from behind to win out by the close score of 10-7. Hopewell has a good team as far as high school teams go. So, this is a fair indication of what the freshmen can do.
The stars of the game were slugging Johnny Korcyowski, Harvey "Stud" Johnson and "Homerun" Lane Phillips. They added some much needed punch to a potent line-up. Lester Hooker also garnered honors as he held down a strange position and batted out three hits.

CNT&IP; MOP® TO WIN MATCH
The William and Mary Tennis team left yesterday on a. two-
day trip in the State. They, were to play VMI on Monday and W. and L. on. Tuesday. They will be seeking their first victory -of
the season, incidently. The lack of Spirit in the school
is appalling. There are good players who just do not want to get out there and represent the school. Until the best talent shows up on the courts, William and Mary will remam as just another team on so many schedules.
There are meets coming up with Duke the 22nd of April and Richmond on the 24th. Victories in either of these two matches would mean a successful season
for the netmen.

ndians r m a l e c h Cavaliers Too Much;
MEN IN CHECK Led by the potent bat of Jim
Gillette, the University of Virginia Cavaliers handed William and Mary its third successive loss as Frank Nichols held the Indians to seven scattered hits at Charlottesville, Tuesday.
Coach Eube McCray assigned Eoy Merritt to the mound in an effort to stop the Cavaliers and though he was touched for but eight hits the home team was able to bunch them for a total of three runs in the first inning and four more in the seventh. Gillette poled two triples in these batting sprees to send across three mates while scoring twice himself.
Dick Sills, who was the only Indian player to get two hits, batted in the lone William and Mary run with a single in the fourth to score Tom Andrews from second base.
Aside from Tom Andrews and Sills, the other Tribe hits were made by Captain Virgil Andrews, Jimmy Howard, who started at third base and was later moved to right field, Ed Goodlow, and veteran Steve Dennis, who caught Merritt.
Merritt struck out two Cavaliers, while yielding seven walks. It was his first loss of the season against one win.

"Assuming a three run lead in the opening half of the first inning the Virginia Tech baseball club added four more in the seventh and one in the eighth to score an eight to five win over William and Mary, here on Monday.
Coach Eube McCray led with Tommy Crane, sophomore lefthander, on the mound, but he was shelled for a total of ten hits and seven runs during his five inning stay on the hill, and was replaced by Jack Purtill who allowed but one run on six singles for the duration of the game.
I t was the first defeat in the state for the Tribe and their second this year. They .got one run in the first, another in the third, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth to collect their total of five runs,
Capt. Virg Andrews came out of his batting slump to hit big George Warriner, Tech hurler, for three safeties in four trips to the plate. The four other William and Mary bingles came from the bats of Tom Andrews, Dick Sills, Jimmy Howard, and Ed Goodlow, the latter a newcomer of this year's lineup. Virg Andrews batted four of the five Indian runs across the plate while Sills drove in the other.

Tournament A Novice Meet The tournament was really a
novice meet a s not-one of the contestants had ever participated in a real meet before. The fencing-was fast and exciting* but naturally none of the boys showed much of the good form which features most fencing tournaments. Mr. Jones, coach of the fencing team, who helped direct the meet seemed rather pleased with the performance of some of the boys. He pointed out the possibility oi the boys developing into fine fencers and hoped that some of them. would be trying out for the varsity team next year.
Other entrants in the tournament were: Kent and Kline,, Kappa Sigma, Ketsules and Aid-rich, PM Kappa Tau,, Musante, Sigma Eho and Caral and Itzke-witz, Phi Alpha.

Last week a gv">\^, football man who bc.J >_>er ing out under the i hvl i -Coach Voyles an '. O .v_i sey took a little 1Y,J .im Newport News v,' ' tv; Ycy .-:••'• a practice scrimrn--ge with ; h j
Shipbuilders of t'.e .Y/p> -e:\tic => School. When the day I.V.B o\er it was agreed by si! that a pleasant afternoon of football had been spent.
The practice was essential to both teams and there n'ag no score kept. However, the superiority of one team — the Indians were quite evident. 'The rival ' coaches—Dobson for the Shipbuilders and Voyles for the Indians—both expressed pleasure for the afternoon's development,
It was explained later that the Indians were within the Southern Conference rules on the subject as this was- not considered Spring practice. The ball was put in play for four downs and then turned over to the other team. This prevailed all afternoon and the coaches stopped the practice many times to put in some words of advice or criticism.
Notable fact of the trip was that there wa s a preponderance of freshmen on hand. This may be an indication that they are needing practice! However, when Fall rolls around and the team gets seriously into the season there will probably be a majority of experienced men in the starting line-up.

With a record of two wins and three losses to show for their five starts this season the William and Mary baseball club will attempt to forge above the .500 mark this week when they play three of the Conference's most powerful teams.
On Friday the Tribe will be the guests of Wake Forest, the following day at North Carolina State, and next Monday will face the vaunted University of Maryland nine in Williamsburg.
The Demon Deacons from Wake i'orest sport a fair record and with a veteran battery and infield they should offer stiff competition to the Invading Indians. Eoy Merritt will likely start his third game of the year against the Deacons, seeking his second win against one loss.
To Meet N. C. State At Ealeigh, where the Tribe
will tackle N. C. State they will face a long-hitting squad backed up by Curtis Eamsey, a 215 lb. speedball artist, who is likely to start against the Indians.
Eamsey has won every start this year, pitching his standout game against Washington and Lee when he allowed but three hits as his teammates paced by Wade Brown's home run with the bases loaded, helped subdue the Generals 7 to 3. The other abtting threats included Absher in right field, Fehley, second baseman, and Harris, guardian of the Initial sack.
In the game with Maryland the Indians will oppose a team that offers Duke and Richmond a serious threat for Conference honors. Either Tommy Crr.ne or Jack Pur-tiil f.ro expected to start en the mound for Wi!li?m :;nCi i'lY"*-.

Nevertheless, something shecM b^ ; , . i n . If such a condition is to exist, 0 .- of '^ -J first jobs of the Assembly is to ;M\,.beh -. £".ard against'the existence of such : /i\<;?'oon in the elective system. The St..•->-:<•'; i .r t ' - t ies Committee attempted this ^h^ ';bej set up a special committee on .icsJsAsr* rind elections, but this committee oef'.sed to take the responsibility and has be::om3 'defunct. This year the weakness of the system reached the culmination poiat ;,T^ exploded—to the disgrace of the college,
One of two ccuvses «iie open to the anticipated student committee; set up a definite of nominations for each office and withhold the voting until this number has been reached, or set up a student committee to do the actual nominating. It is unfortunate that the operation of the system cannot be spontaneous, tat after glancing at this year's ballot it is imperative that definite steps be taken.. Furthermore, there is no reason why -a student committee can't handle this problem ' to the • satisfaction of the administration and their fellow students.
It is unfortunate that the spirit which runs so high at election time does not continue throughout the year. With the advent of the new Constitution voting this year should be more vigorous than ever.
The importance of the offices in the Senate, as set up in the student government plan, cannot be over-emphasized. These ten students are really attorneys for the whole student body as represented by the Assembly, and if they are not capable, the students are not going to benefit by the new organization. For the sake of the movement and the college, the Flat Hat prays that these Senators will have the "drive" to carry out the demands of the students.
Wake Up and' Gr ipe! ! When the House of Burgess meets in the
Great Hall on Wednesday at 7:30, all hell ought to break loose if this is any kind of a campus. Here is a chance to get rid of the political gripes you've had for years, and a chance to get an audience to listen to. Park your tomatoes and ancient eggs outside, but bring along your statistics and tempers.
If you' think President Roosevelt is leading the country to ruin, and that a third term is tantamount to revolution get out your sunflowers and drown out the red flags. If you think the Republicans are an old bunch of nasty reactionaries who want to saddle the country with their money bags, get on your donkey and buck or should we say bray. Bray loudly and distinctly, and be proud of the fact that you can criticize and get away with it.
Being as how this is a Presidential year, and a year in which we will choose the man who will get us in or keep us out of war, we ought to be interested enough in our own future to speak up about it. Let the Great Hall resound with its old echoes of heated political argument and let its corridors reecho with all the old, stale W. P. A. and Confucious Say jokes you may know of. Who knows, maybe the Randolphs and old Botetourt will sit up in thei r cripts and take notice of the most exciting political doings since they once shook a leg around the halls of the old Christopher Wren Building.

Now that we have spring one day and winter the next, life becomes very complicated—especially with the clothes problem. Therefore any contribution to gaiety in these troublesome times is sure to be welcome. With this in mind we gathered from the exchange files this bit of a mirth-maker.
Woman is always a popular subject—so here are a few good definitions—
"A predatory animal that is strangely like a cigarett: They come in packs; they got lit unexpectedly; they go out suddenly; they cling to your lips; they sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth; yet they satisfy."
' "A woman should be like ice cream: Sweet, cold but very smooth; if she melts and becomes gooey she looses all of her charm, and most of her personality."
When "a woman spends your money go ahead, you're safe, but if she is willing to sit at home to help you save, look out!
—(Va. Tech)—
Even though it is spring-time, don't cut classes too often, 'cause "Absence makes the mark g*>w rounder.
Here's a connection between grammar and the popular extra-curricula activity.
You see a beautiful girl walking down the street. She is of course, feminine.. If she is singular you beeome a nominative masculine.
You cross the street and become verbal, soon changmg to dative if she is not objective. You become plural and walk home with her. However, her mother is accusative but you become imperative although still an indefinite article.
You stroll in and sit down. When you talk of the future she changes the subject. You become possessive and kiss her while she is still objective. She is exclamatory and her father becomes present while you change to a past participle.

greet ings While on a band trip last week
we were stopping at a fair-sized high school in Virginia. While wandering around the corridor we heard on all sides of us spirited conversation on the part of several small knots of students. I t was the day of Student elections. One little daisy, who appeared to be a "campus leader" was haranguing a few associates. We edged closer to hear her words of wisdom and she rewarded our ears with:
"Ah tell you if y'all elect a radical to the student council there jest won't be a student council 'round heah!!,,
A young sallow-faced cynic from the ring of onlookers spoke up at this point.
"Aah, the students don't run this school anyhow — and they never will."
How naive some high school students can be!

While studying diligently in the library the other day we were interrupted by a tourist , peering over our shoulder.
"Studying, I suppose?" she inquired brightly.
"That's right," we answered sweetly "studying."
"All this takes me back to my student days! Ah, those blissful student days!" comes back our very welcome visitor.
We secretly wished that something would take her back out of the library. But of course we can't be rude to a visitor to the Old South, so we say, "Ah yes these student days are lovely. By the way, Madame, did you know that they're setting up ales on the house at the Raleigh tavern for all out of town visitors?"
"Oh really, I just can't miss that—it's all so very colonial and quaint!"
With this she exits and we go back to work. .

it group discussion iiig in teres Led in such should need no explanation. As battles were won on the cricket fields of England, governments will be made in the colleges of America. The day of politics as a racket is over. The influence of the ward heelers, little and great, is waning. Men like Tweed, Hanna, House and Farley, who make up the sorry history of our political development, must. be kept from future interference with our-ballot boxes.
Only by first understanding and then demanding political justice is it possible to do away with such vote-control machines as the Byrd outfit in this fair state of Virginia.
Here at this college tomorrow night, is a discussion in which the student can express his own opinion on the political state of his country. That opinion is valuable, so valuable that there are those who fear it, and would limit it to their own selfish and greedy ends.' Mr. Heller, Mr. Dies, and their ilk are still in the minority, but it is the person who shrugs his shoulders and says "So what?" that gives these bogey-chasers the opportunity to shackle their chains of lies about the free body-politic of American voters. While you can, speak—for once stilled, you never shall vote!!

With youth groups and movements musiirooming up all over the country, it has become the fashion to snort and impatiently remark that flie "kids" ought .to go back to their diapers' and be seen and not heard. It has become the fashion to deny that young people have any problems separate from the rest of the nation, and even if they have "What can a bunch of kids do about it."
FASCIST! What can "kids" do indeed!
They .can strut around in fancy uniforms and go bullying and beating all those whose face or nose isn't shaped the right way. They can force castor oil down a miserable victim's throat, and with midguided patriotic ' fervor and a- little plain sadism thrown in, they can club their "Americanism" into a man. These "kids" can in fact go so far that they can run the country to. suit' some de-mogogic, unscrupulous leader. The youth have already done this in a number of countries where they have formed the mass basis of the fascist movement. WHICH WAY OLD MAN?
Which course would our sedate elders prefer us to take, the brutal, violent course of a desperate European youth or the sensible
ciemoxxrxi path of cur American youth. Out of discussion, disorderly, and perhaps sometimes not quite gentlemanly, all of us learn that Freedom is something that all of us can learn to fight for We may go off half-cocked in, these youth discussions, but we learn to speak up and learn to know what individuality means. It is pretty difficult to make a streamlined dictatorial movement out of a nation of people that know what they want and how to get it. In other words try and gag a people that has learned how to speak up.
SPIRIT THAT COUNTS • Why do we have the in
numerable conventions? Are. they as foolish as many prefer to believe they are? You know when a group of young people speak on foreign affairs—what the devil do they really know what is going on besides what they looked up in the college library catalogue? Actually they are bravely and often blindly striking out to solve the problems of a world which none of us have complete understanding of." The important thing is, however, that they hold on to that audacity and curiosity of spirit which prompted them to meet together in the first place.

> We were feeing a bit melancholy last week end and we had good reason. Outside, winter blasts were raging, changing fair Williamsburg from-her attractive best, and within we sat, faced with a horrible future. Tennis was definitely out and we could find no alternative save study. Bat facing it like- little soldiers we set about our task with never a backward glance. All went well until, we were invited to a cocktail party. Willing to sacrifice our intellectual pursuits for a good and .worthy social cause, we accepted with alacrity. It was an enjoyable affair and our spirits rose accordingly. Then someone made a chance remark that they had it on good authority that we would be in the war by summer. We thereupon, excused ourselves as graciously as possible, returning, to our studies with the Russian attitude of Nichero.
We would like to single out Alex Templeton the pianist, for a word of praise. A friend of ours has his portfolio of musical caricatures and they are 'terrific. "Bach Visits Radio City" is a very amusing one, describing the great composer's imaginery visit to a jam session. Alex Temple-ton is a great artist and we should' like to see him here in Williamsburg. We believe the attendance problem at concerts would be solved at any rate.

What's correct—a single or,double breasted Evening-Formal? —Answer: Both. And shown here is the favorite double-breasted style featured in Palm Beach cloth this season. New are the lower, longer sweep of the lapels and the easy contour of shoulders and hips. The Palm Beach Evening Formal holds it shape regardless of the tempo or the temperature. And the whole outfit weighs less than 37 ounces.
What's Up (Continued from page four)
WAR All right ndw, why do we
all fit in ? There is an' International Relations Club here, an Economics Club, and a House of Burgess, and many others. It doesn't matter what group we belong to, each can be made alive and 'capable of tackling specific jobs. What
are the raw matreials,? War for one. You know, of course, what that means by itself. We fight, get maimed, kill others, and get killed ourselves. It isn't 'important? One month or even one week in the trenches, and I'll bet we be kicking ourselves in the rear - in between 'picking off the lice— and cussing ourselves because we didn't think and do something about in before.
LATER THAN'YOU THINK Man alive fellows, what
are we waiting for. If our elder's wont tell us, let us find out for ourselves. Here is a whole South suffering with the plague of low wages, unemployment, poor and eroded soil, inadequate education and nutrition, race conflicts, sharecroppers, pellagra, T. B. and all the horrible etceteras. How can we crack a tough nut like that? It doesn't mean anything to you? You're taking the gamble that life will go on the way it has. You'll marry a sweet girl, get a couple of kids, have the latest model ear, and settle in that comfortable two-story frame house. One short time of grace and then watch the world blow up. It's not just a blue world, as the popular song will have if, it's an angry, mad world and heaven help the working girl and the play boy collegiate. The both have their nose too close to something. One to the grindstone, the other to a can of Schlitz. . . There once 'was a slogan and it ran; "It is later than you think."

Next week's Plat Hat will carry the name and story of the audition winner. This is a very important event in the history of the College drama department and Miss Hunt is to be congratulated for her efforts in arranging these auditions.

Next week we all have a dale with the screen s most refreshing star.
This week there has been unusual activity in the little studio in Phi Beta Kappa Hall for there have been two student broadcasts presented in the past two days instead of the usual one. On Monday afternoon Carl Buffington well-known alumnus of last year, now with the Rollins Studios, conducted a series of student tryouts for membership in the Rollins Dramatic School for .the summer session,

It was a triumphant closing to the afternoon's recital. Madame Dienne, Mr. Ramon Douse, and Mr. Wilson Angel deserve special .credit for the inspirational instruction they have given their pupils.
On Monday and Tuesday we will meet and fall in love with Deanna Durbin in IT'S A DATE, hei seventh straight bell-ringer

IT'S A DATE is lavish in production scope and uses romantic Hawaii as its background. Deanna has been surrounded by a strong supporting cast, headed by Kay Francis, and Walter Pid-geon. Wonder Man Joe Pasternak produced this swell parcel of entertainment-plus.
