That’s Marcelle Chantal, and it may be the same film as LE REQUISITOIRE, shown the previous day.

Quite a pleasant movie and a very popular one among Italian-American audiences. It played mostly in theatres that offered Italian films but also in some art houses. Once the war began, it joined the Italian and German movies that were sequestered by the US government and eventually housed at the Library of Congress. In Italy it was lost, but because it was kept at the LOC, it survived in a 35mm subtitled print.

I assume “Cereal Dish” refers to a current giveaway and is not the name of a movie.
