“PERSONAL SECRETARY”
Prominent among the many entertaining features of Universal’s “Personal Secretary.” which opens tomorrow at the Cosy Theatre, is the welcome appearance of Joy Hodges, last seen in “Merry-Go-Round of 1933.” Miss Hodges, who returned to Hollywood after a long season with George M. Cohan in the Broadwaj’ success I “I’d Rather Be Right.” is a whole show in herself and her work in “Personal Secretary” is particularly outstanding. In this new picture, Joy is seen as an enterprising newspaper columnist engaged in a feud with a rival "key-hole” wizard. William Gargan. Both roles are handled with engaging honesty and the rnurdcr-mys-tery-comcdy plot contains just the right amount of thrill-twists to keep any audience balanced between guesses and laughs. Universal has paid particular attention to the featured cast by including such well known favour- ■ ■ites as Andy Devine, Ruth Donnell?- ' and Florence Roberts.
