...Whoever it may be mentioned Nelson Eddy's dimples in the rotten review of The Girl of The Golden West (March 21), I have some 500 odd photos of the "Dimpled Nelson Eddy," all minus the dimples! I would appreciate it if your movie critic would send me a "dimpled" picture of Mr. Eddy...
...like the tortoise in Aesop's fable, reached the quarter-pole first with winnings of $4,448. A hair's breadth behind was curly-headed Johnny Revolta ($4,390), whose red-hot putting kept him in front of Henry Picard ($4,113), Jimmy Thomson ($3,355), Byron Nelson ($3,220), Sam Snead...
...here as the gawky, ignorant saloon keeper of "Girl of the Golden West." In spite of her ragged clothes and her western twang (which miraculously disappears now and then), she is as out of place in her crude surroundings as William Randolph Hearst at a Communist meeting. Nelson Eddy, back from his ill-fated venture at West Point, has also been democratized; but the results in his case are all for the good.

...Girl of the Golden West (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) plasters opulent prettiness, vociferous songs and an assortment of plot cliches all over David Belasco's ancient yarn about the mad, bad days in early California. Walter Pidgeon, sheriff of Cloudy Mountain, and Bandit Chief Nelson Eddy are rivals for Jeanette MacDonald, pastel-tinted proprietress of the Polka Saloon. Eddy's dimples, wavy hair and roly-poly pinkness satisfy the popular idea of a rakehell bad man about as well as they did that of a West Point football player in Rosalie. Miss MacDonald's concession to her role...
