Sirs: ... If you insist upon likening Warren William's profile to a fish, why pick out a carp [TIME, Sept. 3]? A pickerel, which has been glorified by the automobile manufacturers in the last two years, would have served much better. Or a trout! Or a bass! Warren, born and reared in the game fish region of Northern Minnesota, could hardly look like a carp . . . as there are few of this undesirable species in Northern Minnesota's sky-blue waters. . . .

His performance as a detective is superior to his impersonation of Julius Caesar in Cleopatra but none of the ingredients of The Dragon Murder Case is sufficient to make the picture a puzzle or a shocker. Typical shot: Eugene Pallette, who, no matter who plays Vance, always appears as Vance's stupid police foil, muttering his catch line: "My experience as a criminologist teaches me to suppose...
...picture which is full of fish makes a particularly appropriate vehicle for Warren William's debut as detective. His likeness to John Barrymore is proverbial but he really looks more like a carp. Born Warren William Krech in Aitkin, Minn., he went to France during the War, resumed his career as actor when he returned. He appeared in 26 stage failures, four successes. Last of the four was Vinegar Tree (1930) which got him a cinema contract. Now one of the busiest male stars in Hollywood, he is famed for his profile and his versatility. He has performed in farce...
