Mr. Hodgins stage directing and his own pearance as comic Nickoff are bg items in this production. Incidentally, his wife, Marian Hodg-

voice and stage assurance. She needs to learn more ease and get rid of a nervous habit of acting too quickly. Mateorhm-Huff~as-Prince-Danilo,-is convincing énough. His voice is good. and he looks the part of the young blade. But he caries into stage-acting some of’ the tricks of his radio and TV experience as a member of the Mellotones quartet. It's 2 problem of the correct technique for the particular assignment. Jean O'Callaghan, as Natasha, and Bill Balduzzi, as Raymond, both deserve high praise for their singing and acting. And a long list of other players rate more mention than this report can give. Among them are Ted Palmer, an awfully good comedian for a man who teaches math day times at Rose Polytechnic; James Lynch,

Lois White Eck. Bruce Kaiser, Aileen Burris, Jim Frye. Nancy Sauer, Franz Layer, Lester Wolf, Dorothy White, Joanne Criss, Darrell Criss and Mary Gill. Credits also go to M. I. Riggs,

EZIO PINZA, famed former star of “South Pacific,’ is the King who starts a flirtation with lovely Lana Turner while he’s traveling incog- . nite. The picture is M-G-M’s Technicolor "Mr. Imperium’ in which he makes love to her with

music.

“Mr. Imperium’’ has all the magnetic Pinza charm, his magnificent singing voice. Lovers will sigh and thrill to this story-book romance of a King who followed the woman he loved across continents—right up to the very doors

of Hollywood.

Like most women, Fredda wanted her man, instead of the world, at her feet. In "Mr. Imperium,” she lives the hopes and dreams of every American girl who wishes for a great love to come into her life.
