“SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT” (Loew's) is nothing to shout about. It gives us Gregory Ratoff directing Janet Blair in musical comedy, at which neither is extraordinarily adept. Mr. Ratoff ic a good deal more amusing on “Information Please” and Miss Blair, who is to Altoona, Pa., what the 500-mile race has been to Indianapolis, hasn't

recovered from “My Sister Eileen.”

On his uppers in Jack Oakie’s

theatrical boarding house, Pub licityman Don Ameche falls in with Producer Willlam Gaxton who has found Cobina Wright Jr.

Jation is that she star in it. Knowing Cobina’s brand of corn will wreck the production, Gaxton lures her and Ameche out of town, has them jailed in the sticks as counterfeiters. Then he rushes Miss Blair into the show which _ threatens to be a hit until Cobina shows up at the unpsychological moment. The show folds, Miss Blair goes back to Altoona while Ameche and Oakie cook up a vaudevillg production. That puts everybody" on easy street, but “Something to Shout About” won’t do the same for Mr. Ratoff and Columbia Pictures, betcha. 2 s&s = LOEW'S second attraction, “Reveille with Beverly,” would make

Another chunk goes for the fourfigure salaries of the executives. “Actually they spend less money on the movie itself than I do.” His film is titled “Isle of Forgotten Sins.” It’s a murder mystery in the south seas, complete with typhoons, fires and dancing beauties.

NAPLES, FOUR OTHER PORTS ARE BLASTED

LONDON, April 16 (U.

The communique identified the other raided ports as Palermo, Catania, Messina and Sciacca, all in Sicily. Civillan casualties were

—The prosecution ‘played its trump card today, demanding that three confessions allegedly made by Robert E. Lee Folkes, 21, a Negro dining car cook, be accepted as evidence in the “lower 13” murder

trial. The confessions, which the defendant purportedly mgde but never signed, were believed of primary importance to the state's case against Folkes, who is charged with. the murder of Mrs. Martha Virginia James, 21. The victim, bride of a Norfolk, Va., naval ensign, was slain as she lay in lower berth 13 of a Pullman speeding across Oregon before dawn Jan, 23. ’ Veteran court observers were agreed .that most of the prosecution’s evidence to date has been circumstantial, and some believed that the state’s entire case hangs upon admission of the alleged confessions. So far, District Attorney Harlow Weinrick has presented witnesses whose testimony placed Folkes near the scene of the crime.

the office of war information. Mowrer emphasized that the new

Carradine, Gale Sondergaard, Sidney Toler, Patti McCarthy, Rita Quigley, Betty Amman, Rick Vallin, Frank Fenton, Tala Birell and Vida Ann Borg. The dignified Miss Sondergaard is wearing for the first time in her picture career, a sarong. A little breezy around the knees, she said. Carradine was a beach comber in a striped sweater that made him look even more like a drink of water than before. Toler surprised us. We'd never seen him before except with eyebrows pasted up, as Charlie Chan. As a white man he looks fine. Miss McCarthy used to be Dorothy Lamour’s secretary. In a sarong she is an eye-knocker-outer. Miss Quigley was the child star, who made her biggest hit in “Susan and God.” She also wears a sarong —a big girl now.

Interesting People Miss Ammann, an actress you've probably never seen before, was born in New York, studied dra-

an adequate second bill decoration anytime except this time when it adds up to too much of the same thing. You get a celluloid juke box with Ann Miller, Bob Crosby's band, Freddie Slack’s band, Duke Ellington’s band, Count Basie’s band, Frank Sinatra, the Mills Bros. and the Radio Rogues.

Anniversary Show

KEITH'S flesh show in this, its first: anniversary, is highlighted with the comedy of Buster West and the contortion dancing of his wife, Lucille Page. They're both’ top-flight vaudeville performers. Buster dates himself, though, with the gag that he has entertained the crowned heads of Europe and some peculiar people in Cincinnati, circa 1911. His soft shoe work, of which you don't see very much any more, is nice going. . The show includes the Burvedells, two girls hammering out tunes on the xylophone; Tung
