After going their separate cinema ways for six years, Gable and Turner provide the usual ingredients of their former screen part-, nership and this sentimental journey through the battlefield of Europe will stimulate your interest in of filmlands strongest box office magnets.

When you leave the theater you no doubt will keep thinking of the lovely and loyal Anne Baxter as Gables wife who suffered through the agony of reading her husbands letters in which he usually complimented his attractive and nurse. Miss Baxters star brightly in this film, even so than that of her famous colleagues. In Love With Wife Incidentally, the story carries you through the war experiences (of Gable and his nurse via a opening, but you must not jtake this too seriously. Gable is shown as a rather egotistical surgeon who is very much jin love with his wife. Anne Baxter, and over her objections he An imposing roster of star names Is under contract to Gene Mann, managing director of the outdoor Greek theater which will be opened for the third season of light opera and musical comedy, beginning July 5.

Butler Directs Who Once DlrertAfl Ri.tlor uirecrea butler yr' David Butler yesterday directed an actor who had directed him back in 1915. The scene was for Silver Lining at Warner Bros, and the actor was Fred Kelsey. Persons who dabble in nostalgia know Kelsey as a former Mack Sennett comic. Experts in the facts of yesterday know that Kelsey was a director of two-reel comedies and David v-v v- Butler, one of the top directors of musicals and comedies in pictures today, was an actor prior to and TURBULENT LOVE, FEAR AND ANGUISH Are shbwn in call all your friends "sweetheart and your enemies honey If you are a sun-worshipper and always wear dark glasses, indoors and out, as your badge of honor If you own a convertible and keep the top down even in a driving rainstorm Jf you would rather dress colorfully than conservatively If you never wear a hat end wouldnt be caught dead in a tuxedo If you profess to know the inside dope of what Howard Hughes is going to do with RJv.O.

When travelling on board ship to a distant land Gables intimate conversation with his superior officer, Ray Collins, is interrupted by an Army nurse. Miss Turner.

From this start she continues to interfere with- almost everything he does She hates him at first, but as mother told you years ago, hate is usually found sitting on loves doorstep. In this instance it represents first rate plotting to arouse feminine interest. Competent Nurse Before the story ends you will learn that Miss Turner is the most competent nurse the handsome Ga ble ever had. For example shes shown in the mqst unglamorized outfit at a field hospital where Gable operates on war casualties six teen hours straight. When he is dead tired she makes the best coffee he ever tasted and when he asks her opinion of his refusal to grant an officer a furlough from the advanced hospital, she says, It stinks.

She also stands guard while he takes a swirl in an old Roman bath. He returns the favor and whistles while she bathes. All this happens while both are on active service. When Gable returns home via the airways without Lana, the landing field looks suspiciously like the Burbank airport. There his faithful wife awaits him.

In his Army uniform Gable looks every inch an officer and a man In his surgeons smock he doesnt quite measure up to the same standard. Ilodiak Convincing John Ilodiak plays the part of Gables doctor friend who stayed in his poor community to take care of the sick during the war. He is very convincing in the role. Ray Collins as the easy going and worldly wise superior officer, makes a fine impression and so does Gladys Cooper as Miss Bax ters mother. Cameron Mitchell and Marshall Thompson as two sergeants, are also good.

The film was directed by Mer-vyn LeRoy and produced by Sidney Franklin in association with Gottfried Reinhardt. The original story was written by the eminent Sidney Kingsley. A Pete Smith novelty, You Cant Win, and a Tom and Jerry Technicolor cartoon, Bowling Alley Cat, also are shown at the three theaters. Gov.

Hollywood Diary By REBA and BONNIE CIIURCIIILL during World War Sure, Kelsey directed me in a comedy in which I played a hick who was pushed off the Venice pier by an automobile, said Butler.
