...happens on Transcontinental Pilot Robert Cummings. Miss de Havilland and Pilot Cummings exchange some rather rare wheezes about his ability to perpetuate the royal line and she decides he is just what she needs. Then the picture shifts to Washington for what is getting to be a patent Warner Bros, windup. It seems that President Roosevelt has avuncular feelings toward the princess, so he invites her to the White House. When Pilot Cummings realizes that his marriage will mean the loss of his U.S. citizenship, a quarrel develops. President Roosevelt is treated with Warners' usual restraint; only his shoulder...
Carstairs Bros. Distilling Co. last week released a handsome brochure on how to stay in the retail liquor business though short of whiskey. Its "practical pointers from smart retailers" may give the average U.S. barkeeper or liquor dealer a lift.

Hale's only consolation: the hope (and expense) of building a brand-new store on another Market Street corner after...

Dinah Shore, Joan Leslie, Dennis Morgan and Alexis Smith, who know their way around in this sort of work, help out. Veteran comics S. Z. Sakall and Edward Everett Horton help still more. But the picture is most amusing as a sort of glorified Amateur Night...
