 "Topsy and Evan" is every bit as good as the Duncan Sisters musical comedy from which it was adapted. The greater flexi- bility Of the screen however, gives them greater opportunities for ex- pression than the stage presenta- ton.
 Undoubtedly one of the funniest scenes in the picture--and one of the cleverest ever filmed-is the graveyard sequence where. "Top- sy" wanders among some live ghosts at night.

 Substituting laughs, giggles, guffaws and smiles galore, and a few really tender moments throughout the film mark it as a pleasing innovation and an in- spring tribute to the producers and director.
 It IS safe to say that nothing and no one so droll and ccm.cal as Rosetta Duncan ("Tcpsy"O has been seen here in many seasons. For sheer vivacity and inspired buffocnery she has no peer among her sex. Her every movement, unconscious as it may seem, is the beginning of laugh. in contrast
