MAY MARRY AGAIN

SEEN “GOING PLACES” GINGER ROGERS—LEW AYRES I would not be surprised if Ginger Rogers and her former husband, Lew Ayres, decide to re-unite, says a writer in the British Film Weekly. They were certainly very happy together the other evening at Beverly Hills’ quaint little hide-out, the “Tropics.” It is a liltle bungalow residence converted into a do luxe South Sea island cafe; ! a spot where people go to escape noisy music and chatter—to talk quietly. And that is what Ginger and Lew were doing. When they parted three years ago, Mrs Lela Rogers told me how Ginger often used to go lo pieces thinking over the failure of fheir marriage. “They would have made a go of it if Ginger hadn’t gone ahead so much more than Lew,” I was assured. Well, if that was ever a good reason, it is all shot to pieces now, because Lew is back again where he belongs. The Kildare series is doing amazing business throughout the United States. And, of course, Ginger still goes on doing as well as ever, even without Astaire. Which brings us to “Bachelor Mother,” surely one of the funniest screen comedies on record. The Holly-

wood preview audience was in stitches. The idea is that Ginger, a shop girl, finds an abandoned baby and every one refuses to believe it is not her own. She falls in love with her boss's son and the boss believes the child to be his grandson. David Niven, who plays the son, finally proposes to the girl.
