While the M.G.M. safari was beating through the trackless veldts and jungles of South Africa in search of King Solomon's Mines, J. Arthur Rank was mounting forays along the northern coast in an attempt to catch a gang of gun-runners. The result of his expedition is highly unsatisfying; "The Golden Salamander," despite its title, contains no animals, and for all the good J. Arthur made of the Tunisian scenery, he might just as well have shot the picture on the Cornish coast and saved his sterling...
...five days after the U.S. occupation of Berchtesgaden, a Counter-Intelligence Corps sergeant named George Allen loaded three German male stenographers into a car and drove five miles outside town to the wreckage of a Luftwaffe motor pool. There, after a search, Sergeant Allen found what he was looking for: a big hole in the ground, 20 feet wide and four feet deep, full of charred paper. He began poking around, soon plucked out a sheaf of papers that had escaped the flames. What he held in his hand, said the German stenographers, was a complete shorthand record...
With such reflections in his head, Francis Stuart has been reconsidering the life & times of himself and his I.R.A. friends.

Scornfully, Ezra decides that most of its people...

William Wheeling's adaptation of the old Germanic "Gypsy baron" folk tale, is masterful; he works some good dialogue into the search-for-the-pot-of-gold story, and his lyrics, especially for "A Flyer into Pigs," and "Peace-Loving Man," are unusually clever. Unhappily some of the dialogue is not properly stressed because the actors merely exchange lines without moving where better stage direction would provide some movement on strong speeches. Wheeling also uses some of his lyrics for exposition when they would be better as dialogue...
