...walls of the 17-acre, air-conditioned clothing factory of Richman Bros. Co. on Cleveland's East 55th Street bloomed last week with signs: "Remember Dad." Each of 2,500 Richman Bros, employes (all but some 25 of whom are stockholders in the company, none of whom is a union member) gave 1? to buy a gift that "daddy" would like. At week's end, beaming through his bifocals, 70-year-old "daddy" got his Father's Day present: two pairs of pajamas...

With never a lozenge to cool his throat, Wisecracker Milton Berle (Earl Carroll Vanities) serves as tireless, tedious Master of Ceremonies for such acts as Georgie Tapps's neat dancing, Harry Richman's loud singing, and Caribbean Rapture, a writhing dance to voodoo drums that is the best and warmest of Manhattan's tropical chorus spectacles...

The bride had three attendants; the groom, who helped popularize the song, I Love a Parade...
There is a promise of topical trippery when Don Ameche and Cesar Romero set off across the Atlantic in a plane loaded with a buoying cargo of ping-pong balls (a device actually adopted by Crooner Harry Richman & Aeronaut Dick Merrill; TIME, Sept. 14, 1936, et seq.). And there is a promise of native warmth when the plane plops down in the midst of peasant festivities in a Norse village. But neither promise is kept. Just as soon as they artfully can, the script writers haul the characters back to the familiar Manhattan night-club surroundings, and thenceforth the picture...
