“Jane Steps Out”
The Elstree Studios of Associated British have scored again with a new comedy, “Jane Steps Out.” Diana Churchill, the charming young lady who has come to the front ranks of British screen stars in a remarkably short time, turns in yet another accomplished performance in the name part. “Jane” is not exactly “plain” in the early part of the story, but is an unpaid housekeeper to the rest of her selfish family. At last she rebels, forsakes the dustcap and apron for more gorgeous and becoming apparel and carries out a threat to steal her sister’s beau. Jean Muir, playing sister to Jane, hails from Hollywood and is so completely the beautiful, useless and rather catty member of the Wilton family that she almost sacrifices the sympathy commanded by her undeniable beauty and acting abilities. Peter Murray Hill, the man in the case, is a wealthy young racing motorist, with a perchant for ethnology, is new to star roles and we predict'confidently that this handsome young man has come to stay.
