in Sydney Bollywood often screens “sneak previews” to’ test public reaction to pictures of great expectation and the public verdict becomes of national importance. But Sydney completely outdid Hollywood with no less than a world premiere of the UniversalInternational picture, “TAMMY,” at the famed Australian theatre, the State. When “The End” was flashed on audiences applauded and then lingered on in the theatre as though in regret at having to part from a lovely friend. Many people, on arriving home, immediately telephoned friends, advising them not on any account to miss seeing “TAMMY.” And next morning hundreds of Sydneyites were humming and whistling the haunting lovesong “TAMMY” so charmingly sung by DEBBIE REYNOLDS in the film. The second night witnessed the “HOUSE HIIX* sign displayed. For “Tammy” had completely electrified the city. Throughout the subsequent presentations hundreds were turned away and patrons expressed affection for the most charming artist in the most tender love-story since Mary Pickford, years ago, was voted the Sweetheart of the World. The picture by far ecllnsed in ponularity such outstanding seasons as “The Glenn Miller Story” and “Magnificent Obsession.” For DEBBTE REYNOLDS as “TAMMY” tugs at the heart-strings. It is like the tinkle nf bells the first days of Spring . . . and every enchanting moment of love. Who enuld ever forget Tammy tell the story of how she became a great ladv. She had rali-d dt the mansion selling eggs and wares. And the young man of the great house (it was <ove at first sight) said “ID take the bonnet. ID take the gown and what’s in it. And he kissed me then an* there and made me into a great lady.” What happened in Sydney win surely also I happen in Christchurch since human nature, the world over, responds to the truly beautiful. I oelie Nielsou was the ideal choice for the part of Tammy’s beau and Walter Brennan, as her t grandfather, goes on record as the grand old man of the screen. “TAMMY” is in Cinemascope and Technlcclor, and you, too, must get your share of happiness at the exclusive season of the MAJESTIC FRIDAYRESERVE NOW! ■“Tv j The Picture of the Year.
