...play by Joel Sayre and Fred Guiol, appears to be a sort of Anglo-Indian Three Musketeers. What plot there is concerns the efforts of two sergeants to persuade the third to re-enlist when his period of service expires. This entails much hand-to-hand fighting against a band of Thugs, a few barrack-room practical jokes and frequent athletic tricks of the sort popularized by Master Fairbanks' father. Funny, spectacular, and exciting, Gunga Din reaches its climax when the liveliest sergeant (Grant) gets trapped by Thug Guru (Eduardo Ciannelli) and is almost thrown into a pit full...
Selling Podunk. President Judson of Community has 20 traveling salesmen. They earn their pay mostly in towns of 15,000 to 500,000. In Podunk, for instance, which has never heard any music better than the high-school band, a salesman calls on the local bigwiggery and the clubwomen, cajoles them into a week's fund-raising campaign to put Podunk on the musical map.

...sunshiny morning last week a dimpled, strapping radio entertainer and his hillbilly band trooped into a broadcasting station in Austin, Tex., whooped and whanged in the style that has made them the Lone Star State's biggest air attraction. The studio audience of 200 noisily demanded encore after encore. But presently the band and its leader, Flour Salesman W. Lee ("Pass the Biscuits, Pappy") O'Daniel, had to leave to perform before a crowd of 70,000 that packed the University of Texas stadium...
