When the couple return from" their honeymoon Mimi makes desperate efforts to capture the affections of the husband, but is prevented from doing so by the shrewd generalship of the wife. The story ends happily when Mimi finds that she really does "not love the husband, but is really in love with her faithful friend, Jimmy Kilmartin (Franchot Tone). As Mimi, Miss Loy gives a fine performance, and Franchot Tone and Walter Pidgeon are also very successful. “COCGANUT GROVE” “Cocoanut Grove,” a sparkling musical film featuring Fred Mac Murray and the Yacht Club Boys, will be screened to-morrow.
