...would be pointless; suffice it to say that they are all patterned after the successful, senseless, "all the theatre's the stage and every customer an actor" technique of "Helzapoppin." The only major deviation from the master plan in tone and substance is the addition of Carmen Miranda to the capitalized names of Olsen and Johnson. Perhaps this will be remedied to some extent if Carmen is given a little more time and another number or two like "Thanks North America"; but whether this is done or not, "Sons 'o Fun" has sufficient steam up for a long and happy...
...married Marjorie Bowman, 22, of Denver. Untiedt, now 23, is a Denver carpenter. ...Baron Franz von Werra, Nazi flyer who fled a Canadian prison camp for the U.S. and then skipped the U.S. for Germany, married one Irene Traut.....Of a lovelorn lawyer waiting her return to Brazil, Carmen Miranda told reporters: "He is a very patient man. . . .

That Night in Rio (20th Century-Fox) provides a parallelogram in inter-American relations. A U.

That Night in Rio is the first rose tossed by Hollywood...

Only the plushiest side of life in Rio is shown-the expansive interior of a great nightclub tall, draped and mirrored rooms of the Baron's house, the modernistic interior of the Rio Stock Exchange. In these settings, Brazilian life seems polite and well-dressed, constantly accompanied by an ordinary assortment of Mack Gordon-Harry Warren tunes sung against a background...
...Streets of Paris, at the Fair, is half the size it was on Broadway, and on the whole a livelier show. Unhappily missing are Dazed Comedian Bobby Clark, "Think a Drink" Hoffman with his magic bar tending, and Carmen Miranda with her tropical lure. But missing also are half a dozen numbers that slowed up the show, while Abbott & Costello are crazier and better than ever. New to the show is Gypsy Rose Lee, with her famous absent-minded striptease. If it doesn't make up for Miranda, it keeps anyone in the audience-temporarily at least-from thinking...
