...sparkling British star, Anna Neagle. Profiting by the lesson of No, No, Nanette (TIME, Dec. 30), which he made without featuring the musicomedy's best assets, the tuneful score of Vincent Youmans, he plugs Who? for all it is worth. Four different orchestrations deliver it in ballad, tap, choral and semi-rumba rhythm. Three more Kern tunes (Sunny, D'Ya Love Me?, Two Little Blue Birds) are tossed in for good measure...

From Montreal came the rich voice of Marian Anderson, from Hollywood the mean rhythms of Duke Ellington, from Manhattan one of the jaunty routines of the world's No. i tap dancer, Bill Robinson. Among others who crowded a lively hour were Trumpeter Louis Armstrong, Actor Canada Lee (see p. 76), Violinist Eddie South.
