"Shop Around the Corner" also marks the return to the screen after a too long absence of Margaret Sullavan. cause in itself for rejoicing. Frank Morgan not the sputtering Morgan of so many films but the harassed, suspicious, rather pitiable proprietor of a Budapest leather goods shop is still another in the aggregation of good actors Lubitsch has assembled for his lat 'Shop Around The Corner' M-G-M picture, directed and produced by Ernest Lubitsch, screen play by Samson Ksphaelson, baaed on a play by Nikolaus Laszlo, musical score by Werner R.

Ernst Lubitsch, whose comedies possess a lilting note, a deft sophistication which has called forth the inclusive term "the Lubitsch touch." It was Lubitsch ONLY ONCE IN FOUR YEARS AN 1 est film. it The "Lubitsch touch" is best recognizable by the use of the camera to suggest rather than to film outright certain action. You recall, for instance, the commissars' party in "Ninotchka," in which the actual room was never filmed, but you got the picture of the pro Event LIKE THIS who directed the aloof Garbo in her most charming screen comedy, "Ninotchka." Now comes Lubitsch's latest effort, "Shop Around the Corner," the current happy bit of screen entertainment at the Paramount. James Stewart, the leading "fair haired'' boy of the studio lots, passes from the masterly mega- ceedings from the look of waiters and cigarette girls in the hallways and the sounds coming through the door.

In "Shop Around the Corner," two typical "Lubitsch touches" are the one in which the attempted suicide of Matuschek is shown by a shattered light globe and the other the manner in which Piro-vitch, the timid, employe, darts out of the way when he hears the shopowner requesting his clerk's "frank opinion" on some business High-Fashion Straws 11 SALE!

Lubitsch understands imaginative use of the camera and thus enriches the medium in which he works. Suggestion or symbolism and pantomime are many times employed rather than straight picture taking, and the result is more often than not delightful. I have mentioned two in the foregoing; they are, of course, only a sample, chosen, however inadequately, to describe the "Lubitsch touch" so Florals, etchings and figures in soft, painted effects. the type to hang proudly in your home.

The story, which suggests a Mol-nar comedy, is about a Budapest shop over which Hugo Matuschek presides. Matuschek is tortured by the discovery that his wife is overly fond of one of his employes.

He suspects Kralik, his chief clerk, when actually it is the dandyish, oily Vadas. Kralik, on the other hand, is a serious lad who is engaging in a romance via the lovelorn want ads, never dreaming that the "dream girl" is Klara, who works in the same shop and with whom he quarrels constantly. Felix Bressart, William Tracy, Joseph Schildkraut and Sara Haden are some of the supporting characters who add largely to the fabric of Mr. Lubitsch's screen comedy. "Shop Around the Corner" demonstrates how feather-weight material can be deftly handled for the best effects.
