Girl of the Rio (RKO-Radio) is a passable little border romance made from a play called The Dove, in which the late Holbrook Blinn distinguished himself eight years ago. It is about a Mexican millionaire (Leo Carrillo) who, to facilitate his abduction of a cabaret girl (Dolores Del Rio) has her sweetheart (Norman Foster) jailed and removed from the country. All this is done with a superfluity of Mexican accent by Carrillo and Del Rio, and reiterations of clean young Americanisms by Foster, who encourages Del Rio by saying "Be game, kid." In the play these exaggerations made...

After the old-fashioned pattern of all such plots, Lombardi must experience business failure and heart-jolt before he awakens to the fact that it is not the dazzling beauty of Phyllis Manning that he loves but the demure companionship of Norah Blake. A fashion show helps the entertainment, as does...
From Mexico to Manhattan not long ago came Julian Carrillo, composer, onetime director of Mexico's national conservatory. Composer Carrillo has a system all his own. He has substituted numbers for notes, written music in quarter, eighth and 16th tones, and perfected instruments to play them-an "arpacitera" or harp zither, having 97 tones within the octave in subdivisions of 16ths; a French horn, made in Manhattan, that plays 16ths; an "octavina" that plays eighths; a guitar that plays quarters; and an ordinary cello and violin on which were played quarters and eighths. Last week the League of Composers...
