...himself through one fine routine and he has coached Vera-Ellen into a splendid frenzy of ruffles. A ringing, all-Latin score by Cuba's Ernesto Lecuona includes several probable hits (Another Night Like This, Mi Vida, Giu-Pi-Pia, etc.) and a wild, magniloquent chorus as the camera honors some beautiful Costa Rican landscapes.

A year ago, the Washington State Press Club gave old-time Photographer Lynch a prize (for a picture of a murderer's wife tearfully comforting the victim's mother). Last week Slim Lynch, who has now put his camera aside, got another Press Club award-this time, for the best-written feature story in any newspaper in the state...
