A murdered man disappears while Jack phones the police, and so his later calls on their services meet with some derision.. The dateâ€"April ist, does not help matters either. Zack Buchanan, again in a story that has no song and dance for him, ratâ€" tles through a thoroughly entertainâ€" ing action story that carries lots of hearty laughs with its tropical thrills. Greta Gynt, Googie Withers, Robert Newton and David Hutcheson complete the cast.

He studied music and dancing and being, tall, handsome and dashing, it was natural he should get the leading roles in London productions of ‘"Rose Marie‘‘ and "The Desert Song." He was playing in "Ball at the Savoy" when several nice things happened. He met Natalie Hall, the beautiful songbird in the show, fell in love with her and married her. And he met dirâ€" ector Victor Saville, looking for a leadâ€" ing man for Jessie Matthew.

Leonard Spigelgass has written a sparkling story, full of bright situations and irrestibly human touches. Casey Robinson, Richard Macaulay and Jerry Wald adapted the story for the screen, with dialogue that fairly crackles with wit. Curis Bernhardt, the brilliant young director of "My Love Came Back," directed "Million Dollar Baby," with deft comedy handling.

He plays purély by ear and the refrain is inâ€" cluded in the chords which he strums. The speed with which he manipulates his instrument is the result of constant practice and the chords he s.rikes are his own. Most amazing is the fact that he is entirely self taught.
