SHIRLEY TEMPLE

MAKING HER LAST PICTURE

Shirley Temple, it is said, is making her last picture. It is “Young People,"’ which is now being shot. Recently she gave her last annual party to the children of Hollywood’s screen reporters. ROMANCE JOINS WITH COMEDY IN GAY “DAYTIME WIFE.” The season's smartest get-together of romance and revelry with a top comedy cast in a story as modern as the world the day after tomorrow, is scheduled for picture-goers when “Daytime Wife” comes to the screen. This 20th Century-Fox film stars romantic Tyrone Power with lovely Linda Darnell the new “find” recently seen in the starring role of “Hotel For Women.” Screen fans will delight in seeing Tyrone Power in the type of light comedy in which he excels. Tyrone gives the gayest, most intriguing performance of his career. The film gives Linda Darnell, the opportunity to create a real sensation and previewers agree that she does so. Featured in the cast of "Daytime Wife” are Warren William, Binnie Barnes. Wendy Barrie and Joan Davis —all of whom are just about tops for this type of gay story. It opens on the second anniversary celebrations of Tyrone and Linda, but Tyrone’s not there. He’s had to “work late at the office.” When the gay party swarms downtown to drag the “worker” from his den, they find the office deserted and then the fun begins. There’s a secretary in it of course, but Linda's not going to give up her husband too easily. So she decides to find out what secretaries have that wives haven't and gets a job. A delicious situation results when Linda’s boss takes her to a dinner party to meet and “talk business" with Tyrone and his secretary. Full of charm and" wit and gaiety. “Daytime Wife" is a definite “find” for everyone’s film entertainment.
