Paize and Micc Allbritton hold up the love interest in this, their sec- ond co-starring picture for Uni- versal Studios. Paige delivers a highly creditable performance as the none-too- scrupulous adventure author who voluntarily turns guinea pig when a socialite anthropologist invades the jungle in search of a man- eating head hunter. As the anthrepolqgist who bflngs a “specimen” of primitive civiliza- ticn to New York to learn what makes him tick—and then falls in love with him—Miss Allbritton is both beautiful and ‘plausible. | Benchley's appearance on screen as the publisher of Paige's pseudo-adventures, whose wrath is laughs geared to writer-client’s machinations, the audience on the verge of hys- terics.

It seems 'to us there were more among them than usual whose vivid 'personali- ties will make them long remem- bered.

And, from the same tanker, there, was John McKinney, very likeable | lad from Quincy, Ilinois, young Navy veteran of Pearl Harbor and survivor of five ‘naval battles in jthe South Pacifi¢, saying “I'm sure glad to meet a Philadelphien — 1} wouldn’t be dancing here tonight ‘it a*Navy doctor from Philadelphig |hadn’t saved my leg from amputa- tion seven months ago when eveéry- body else had given up hope!” | And at that same Monday night | ‘pnrty there was also Robert An-| derson, tall handsome colored boy ! from Baltimore, Maryland, Coast | Guard veteran of an LST boat in the South Pacific, expressing the hope that after the war hell be the drummer in a big-time band. | And, one of the most striking of all the personalities ever in our clubhouse, there was on Friday night Aviatrix Ruth A.
