Just back of Britain's monster naval base at Singapore lies the pleasant realm of the wealthy, virile, tiger-hunting Sultan of Johore who, as an Oriental potentate, is entitled to have at least one attractive British woman staying at his palace on approval. His Highness, while making a round-the-world tour in 1934, was photographed in Hollywood with Mae West, and was the guest in Washington of Mr. & Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Last week, the Sultan again was news because, when he recently returned to Johore from a holiday in Sumatra, he had with him and seemed...
British Hope. What had given them newborn hope was the discovery of an 18-year-old Irish schoolboy, James Bruen, who skyrocketed into the realm of British stars four weeks ago, during the Walker Cup trials, when he equaled famed Bobby Jones's amateur record of 68 for the championship course at St. Andrews.

A tale of the Chicago in the roaring seventies, it is generously sprinkled with songs by the delectable Alice Faye and fist fights between Don Ameche and Tyrone Power; and with the great fire as a brilliant climax, Hollywood's latest excursion into the realm of spectacular catastrophe proves a great success...
...attraction, and rightly so. Giving generously of their wares, they occupy a very pleasant hour with some fifteen numbers including "Ten Pretty Girls," "Whistle While You Work," and "Tippy Tin." Morover, they add finishing touches to the vaudeville numbers, and, except when they enter the vocal realm, go over with a resounding bang. When the "sweetest music this side of heaven" fades away, the stage is taken over by Donald Duck, who has a hilarious time with an omniverous ostrich, and by William Powell and Annabella, who in spite of the fantastic plot of "The Baroness and the Butler," also...
