Fox Film Spectacle
‘Caravan’, Brings
3 Big Musical Hits
The new Fox Film musical spec
tacle, “Caravan,” which runs at the
Hollywood Theatre Friday and
Saturday, November 23rd and 24th,
introduces three gay song hits
which already are gaining tre
mendous popularity throughout the
country.
The score was especially written
for the picture by Werner Richard
Heymann, brought to Hollywood
from Vienna for this assignment.
Three musical numbers are featur
ed: the romantic “Wine Song,” per
formed both vocally and on the
violin by Charles Boyer, continental
star of “Caravan”; a bubbling and
sprightly dance tune, “Ha-Cha-
Cha,” and a high-spirited number
titled “Happy, I Am Happy.”
Other melodies were composed by
Heymann to point the action of
this romantic comedy, but these
three ore the outstanding ‘ tunes.
Erik Charell, famous European di
rector, has used incidental music
throughout.
In addition to Boyer, the cast of
‘Caravan” is headed by Loretta
Young and Jean Parker.

Lederer Charm Seen
In Bundling Comedy,
‘Pursuit Of Happiness’
At last we’ve found out what the
history books have been withhold
ing from us, and what it was that
ightened the long, cold and bitter
winter evenings for our not always
stern, harsh and forebearing Puri-
an forefathers!
It was the custom of bundling,
he quaint, ingratiating and de-
ightful form of courtship whose
passing is much to be regretted by
every loyal American, revived tem
porarily in Paramount’s saucy little
comedy, “The Pursuit of Happi
ness,” starring Francis Lederer, and
featuring Joan Bennett, Charlie
previous American picture, but who
already rates starring roles.
At the outset of the picture, he
is cast as one of the young Hes
sians, who, history, tells us, were
unwillingly conscripted into the
service of his Majesty, King
George III, in his war against the
rebelling Colonies.
When he gets here he learns
that the colonists have declared
their independence in a historic
document that guarantees to every
man, “the pursuit of happiness.” In
his quaint fashion he interprets the
phrase to mean “running after
happiness,” and that so titillates
his fancy that he straightaway
deserts the Britishers to seek hap
piness with the Colonists.
Falls In Love
His adventures begin when he
is found hiding in the Kirkland
hayloft, taken in by the family
and falls in love with their blithe
some daughter Prudence.
Then despite jealous suitors and
interferences, he becomes an apt
student in the “bundling” art,
progresses rapidly in her affection,
even wins an appointment to the
Colonial Army and, as the tale
progresses merrily to its end, finds
romance—and happiness—with the
pretty Puritan.
Joan Bennett, coupled in the
romantic lead with Lederer, is
lovely to look at and a delight to
watch in her acting. Charlie Rug-
Waiter Kingsford, who brings to
life the snoopy, blue-nosed Squire
Banks.
With the capable direction of
Alexander Hall and the graceful
adaptation of J. P. McEvoy and
Virginia Van Upp, Paramount has
brought us a thoroughly delight
ful and refreshing bit of entertain
ment in “The Pursuit of Happi
ness,” and something to makp us
ponder on the advantages of hav
ing lived in “the good old days.”
