STRAND
Gentlemanly creed forbids hitting a lady, even though she unwarrantably slaps a man. But there are other methods of retaliation, as Gene Autry shows in ‘Git Along, Little Dogies,’ latest Republic musical AVestern, which is at the Strand. ‘ In ‘ Git Along, Little Dogies,’ Judith Allen and Autry are hostile to each other. In one scene the lovely Miss Allen drives her auto square through a large puddle, spattering Autry with mud. Autry pursues her and forces her to stop by shooting a tyre flat. The angry girl then has words with Autry, and soundly slaps Gene’s face. The polite Mr Autry simply whips out his gun and shoots another tyre flat. Enraged, Miss Allen winds up for another slap, but is stopped when Autry calmly aims his weapon at one of the remaining good tyres. Hazel Ascot, brilliant little star, portrays the leading role in ‘ Stepping Toes.’ ■
