...charms of scheming Tondelayo (Lamarr). As soon as Carlson starts laying in "many silks and bangles" for the gold digging Tondelayo his days are numbered, but before he returns to civilization with a good case of malaria he manages to marry the native minx and thereby snap a few more of boss Pidgeon's nerves.

Last week Baccaloni waddled again, this time as walrus-mustached Sergeant Sulpice in Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment-and his reputation was made in Manhattan...

...same devil-take-the-hindmost sea-battles, the same villainous intrigue, but fortunately a little less slush than the Flynn-Marshall combine dished out. Victor Mature, the anthropoid from "One Million B. C." and Bruce Cabot spend most of the picture fighting like mad over a little minx named Losise Platt. Opinions differ as to whether Miss Platt is worth fighting over, but she can certainly...
