The brilliant direction of Huston, recipient of 1948 “Oscars” for direc- tion and writing, is matched by the superb performance of stars Jenni- fer Jones, John Garfield and Pedro Armendariz. Miss Jones, whose breathless beauty registers superbly on the screen, portrays a Cuban girl who is innocently drawn into a gigantic | conspiracy. Garfield plays a Cuban expatriate who returns to his native ; land, a stranger, and with single- minded purpose immerses himself in the same fiery intrigue, while Ar- mendariz, popular Mexican star, has | the meaty role of a secret agent, who pits his guile and brutality against the conspirators.

For his new role as the country { bumpkin who*storms the portals of Hollywood of the silent-film days reveals a Skelton of far greater ver- satility than he has ever shown be- fore. The slapstick is there to be sure—and it’s a delight—but com- bined with the fun is a heart-warm- | ing appeal and a touch of pathos) that brings to mind the best work | of Charlie Chaplin. As Merton Gill, hero of the story, Skelton goes to Hollywood full of | lofty ideals and an unswerving aspiration to give his all in the pur- suit of high-class drama. Unfortun- ately, his talents fall far short of his ambitions, but when he is ad- vised by his only friend, Phyllis, a down-to-earth trouper, to work his way up via comedy parts, he dis- dains her suggestion. Phyllis, seeing him down to his last nickle, maneu- vers him into the top role of a slapstick farce and manages to see hWim through the film without let- ting him catch on to the fact that it’s not serious drama. It's only at the picture's preview that Merton discovers the fraud and, embittered, s about to return to Tinkerton, Kansas. He is eventually persuaded that laughter and art can go hand in hand and retains both Phyllis and comedy stardom. o o X b4 X 0 A * STARTS TOMORROW! SKELTON Ia/M ERTON OF THE MOVIES Plus Added Treats!
