Calendar Girl (Republic) is a rickety little' mutton-sleeved musical about a turn-of-the-century rooming house for artists. Typical characters: a fireman's daughter (Irish) whose father thinks ill of artists; a patrician two-timer (rich, from Boston) who retouches a portrait of her into fancy leg-art; a poet who sings like, and is played by, Kenny Baker; a straight man who writes songs and gets the girl. Typical comedy routine: a firemen's tug of war complicated by a banana peel and a sneeze. All this corn has a kind of innocence about it that is almost--but not quite--disarming enough. Jane Frazee, despite her waxworks role and surroundings, is human, likable and nice to look at.

Wake Up and Dream (20th Century-Fox) is pretty, mildly relaxing and aggressively whimsical. Adapted from a sweet little Robert Nathan novel (The Enchanted Voyage), it is an almost overpoweringly sweet little movie. It shows how a peculiar old man (Clem Bevans) and a pair of young lovers (John Payne and June Haver) put themselves to enormous trouble to humor a daydreaming child (Connie Marshall).
