...Twentieth Century-Fox) is, of course, that old trouper Shirley Temple, age 10, this time a waif from a waylaid wagon train. Her role in the North-West Mounted Police is: 1) making Orderly J.

...Germany, his audiences clamored for "Der Vashington Pust." The piece was played, as a "typical American" work, at the dedication of a German monument to Richard Wagner.

A water tumbler (whom Billy Rose forgot to call an aquabat) gets laughs from the water, while four custard-pie pantomimists get laughs on land. The revue finally explodes into a patriotissimic finale, featuring a supercolossal U. S. flag...
