...better realized, if less ambitious, comedy) highly entertaining. Director McClintic's staging of an automobile ride, choir rehearsal and picnic in the year 1902 makes the second act a riot of Americana. Burgess Meredith proves himself the most accomplished of young U. S. actors, neatly running the gamut of middle age and youth, inspired duffer and embittered worldling.

It owns "the richest bird life of the northern hemisphere, nearly every animal species known to Paradise," vegetation ranging from the Alpine to the tropical, the gamut of geography, hundreds of races. From prehistoric times to the present, its upper reaches have given men gold. (Estimated annual revenue in Ethiopia: $400,000.) And its recorded history is the world's oldest: 6,000 years. The Nile has two sources, both undiscovered until recent times. Source...
