Now Showing: “My Favourite Brunette,” starring Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour and Peter Lorre. “My Favourite Brunette,” stars the irrepressible Bob Hope masquerading as a tough private detective, armed with gags instead of gats. With Hope as a private eye, and costar Dorothy Lamour, as his eyefull, the Paramount release is packed with laughs, thrills and suspense —the Hope brand. A vicious gang of foreign agents are bent on relieving Hope of lhe chart, the key to a secret uranium mine. Against their knives, guns and fists, Bob has only his rapier-like wit which he uses with machine-gun rapidity. While this convulses the audience, Hope’s enemies are entirely without a sense of humour. They finally frame him on a murder charge, and the warden at San Quentin is about to give him the works. But Dorothy Lamour arrives in the nick of time with the evidence of Hope’s innocence, and the film, as well it should, ends on a gay note. z
