Carioca and by Panchito, a new bird representing Mexico, so irresolutely developed as a character that he remains in the memory chiefly as a yell with red hair. As a curtain raiser (it would make a good short by itself) there is also a rather cute penguin who travels north to an equatorial island and acquires a suntan.

The British press was audible last week, for an equivalent reason.
