...Bracken, John Hodiak, Alexander Knox, Paul Henreid, with others appearing every month. Some of the new leading men are not so good as the old stand-bys, but they all have the advantage of freshness. Of course hams like Edward G. Robinson and Wallace Beery are still around to remind us of our Saturday matinee days, but they've gone stale. If you can't predict every line in "Barbary Coast Gent" before it's said, at least you can be be sure of its tenor...
