Teeming with the colour and thrills of city life, and with a human element underlying it all, "Becky," the new Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture to be screened on Saturday, takes one right into the heart of a little shop girl who is transformed into a revue favourite. Her trials and escapades pulsate with life itself; and laughs, heart-throbs, tears, and thrills chase each other in swiftly moving sequences. Sally O'Neil has never appeared more wirisbme and loveable than she does in |he title role, and reveals an unsuspected depth of feeling in the emotional scenes. Playing opposite Miss O'Neil is that sterling actor, Owen Moore.' He plays the role of "Dan Scarlett," a "man aboutj town," who is regenerated by his love for "Becky." The part has plenty of scape for the whimsical humour of this player which he combines with some splendid emotional acting;
