Walter Winchell it was who first | dubbed Margie “the poor man's | Garbo”, and who has referred to her | | at ‘other times as “the Yankee Nude'll Dandy” and “America’s strip-pippin.” | | Still keeping to the upper bmckcls.l | Dorothy Kilgallen has charactérized !lhe statuesque Margie as “the five- | and-dime Dietrich;” while Frederick Othman, Hollywood correspondent for the United Press, refers to her as , “the lady who earned a fortune with |a zipper in reverse.” Irving Hoff-! man wrote recently “They would | have us believe that Margie Hart signed for a cooking course, and | spent the first day peeling—onions.” | And Jimmie Fidler quipped in his !column, “Margie strips the light fantastic.” Others have character- |ized the sparkling burlesquer as “Queen of the Undie-World” and “The Look of the Month.” i But Robbin Coons, of the great Assoclated Press syndicate, topped the procession when he spoke of the Missouri-born Margie ia print as “the girl from the Show-Me State who found out that the boys like io be shown,” ‘The cast supporting Miss Hart in “Lure of the Islands” includes Rob- ert Lowery, Gale Storm, Guinn Will- iams, Ivan Leberdoff, and Warren Hymer.
