...voice is the voice of Stentor, the hands are the hands of B. F. Keith. Helhapoppin turns out to be toothless old vaudeville trying to act like a lusty, bellowing babe. From the time the curtain goes up on a cockeyed newsreel in which Hitler talks with a Yiddish accent and Mussolini with a Negro one, Helha-poppin-gagging, hamming, roughhousing all the way-does not miss a trick...
