B ECAUSE "Private Affairs" makes out such a good case for the school at thought which believes that the function at moUon pictures in times ot stress is to provide entertainment and escape from grim reality, as well as lor the rich American theme of under-dog victories against strait-laced social forces, this comedy at outdated Boston Back Bay society and modem youth has been chosen MOVIE AND RADIO GUIDE'S Picture of the Week. With a cast adequately capable of handling its many humorous and touching faceta, it tells--and rollick­ ingly-the tale at a family's black-sheep son in­ volved in a stock market SWindle-deal, and of his fight to redeem himself and bring happiness to his daughter, about to be married orr to a socially ac­ ceptable young man she really doesn't love. Roland Young is the black sheep 01 the Back Bay Bu1ler­ tons, and a more lovable black shoop never existed. Hugh Herbert, as a taxi-driving pal who helps Young in his campaign to win back respect, has the most sympathetic and lovable part he has had in many a month. Nancy Kelly, who came to Hollywood as a result of her work in the stage version of "SUsan and God," plays the girl, and Robert Cummings is the boy she loves. G. P. Hunt­ ley, Jr., who is, incidentally, the only member of the cast actually to hail from Boston, is the s0- cialite-lawyer-fiance. Veteran ot silent-film days, Montagu Love plays the bearish grandslre ot the BuUerton tamily, while Jonathan Hale, as the crooked stock-manipulator, rounds out the cast.
