“BIG BUSINESS GIRL” t ‘ Loretta Young, youngest and loveliest of screen stars, does the best work of her career in “Big Business Girl,” to bo screened at tho Tivoli to-night. The title role calls for rare skill in characterisation, .Mac., a college girl, is undecided whether to marry the young college orchestra leader, Johnnie Saunders, or to go to the big town and start- a secretarial career in tho world of big business. She finally decides on the latter. Saunders, splendidly portrayed by Frank Albertson, goes overseas for tho summer with his jazz boys, and Mac hies to the city, where, after discouraging weeks, she gets a job with an advertising agency. Ricardo Cortez plays the amorous head of the agency with his usual finish. Though Mac gets Saunders promotion in the musical world by using her powerful acquaintances, and though she and Saunders have; been socretly married, they quarrel and part. A catty patroness of Saunders is played with unction by Dorothy Christie. Divorce proceedings, which are manipulated by Mac’s boss, are doubtfully aided by a blondo co-Tespondcnt, played with verve by Joan Blondcll, and Oscar Apfel is aptly cast as an aged and wealthy follower of Mac. Those favourites of the screen, Mickey Bennett and Bobby Gordon, have amusing parts as office devils, and Virginia Sale is a sniffy office assistant. “Big' Business Girl,” which was first successful as a magazine serial and then as a bestselling novel, was written by- H. N. Swanson and Patricia Rcilleyv Robert Lord did the screen adaptation’and William A. Suiter directed. “Big Business Girl’ 1 is a picture for all who keep tho

joy,of youth. Don’t, miss lovely Loretta and lior band of clever players in tho most intriguing comedy-drama-of-youth and love that has conic this way for many a month
