Maurice Chevalier, the Knight of the Twitching Eyebrow, makes a lot of mad love to Jeanette MacDonald (and one or two other femmes fatales) in two thoroughly delightful Paramount re-releases. Miss MacDonald looks as if she's having a hell of a good time while he does, and there's every reason to believe that you will too. In addition to Chevalier's great Gallie charm and expressive, intimate style of singing and acting, these two old flicks still have a good deal more to offer than most recent musical releases in their all-too-rare combination of fine singing, acting, and direction.

"Love Me Tonight" has a slight edge on its companion piece in entertainment value as well as in the amount of impressive talent it displays. This story of a tailor who successfully woos a princess has the light directorial touch of Rouben Mamoulian and some superb Rodgers and Hart songs, including "Isn't it Romantic," "Mimi," and the immortal "Lover." C. Aubrey Smith and Myrna Loy are featured players, along with Charlie Ruggles as a flat broke viscount and Charlie Butterworth, that incomparable old-school comedian, as Chevalier's and eyed rival for Miss MacDonald's hand. "One Hour With You," on Ernst Lubitsch production is also an extremely pleasant bit of fluff.

Maurice Chevalier has the top spot as far as performing honors go-his imperturbable jauntiness and brashness have a decidedly infections quality. He is a past master of the "slow burn"-the process of catching on to a situation slowly and reflecting this in a radical change of facial expression. Here is where Chevalier's twitching eyebrows and sliding scalp work an hard that they aboost earn feature billing.

Jeanette MacDonald is no poor bet as far as talent goes, either. Her voice is warm, as well as on key, and her acting is nicely suited for this sort of musical comedy. In addition, she has other charms which are exhibited through the liberal use of low slung chemises.

"Love Me Tonight" and "One Hour With You" are two collector's items that provide a delightful evening of entertainment. Vive la bagatelle!
