fond memories and such rib

Everything-even the gagS-of

If this is a sample Of what Uni
versal intends to do with Jack
Holt, then he had better-for his
own sake and the sake of many
fans-return to Columbia, where
he made so many fine produc-
tionS.
There might have been a good
idea in the original story of
Storm Over the Andes" Granted
there was, there is nothing left
of it now. Not since the early
talkies have ever heard such a
horrible bunch of lines presented
under the guise of dialogue. Most
of it sounded like the illiterate
rawlings of a moron, or the mis-
spelled Scribblings on sidewalks
and fences by children.
The plot-ah, how we tlatter
it-has something to do with a
war between two countries. zone
is never certain just where this
conflict is taking place0 Anyway,
American aviators are engaged
by the foreigners to combat the
enemy planes. 1t is here that
scenes have obviously been pur-
chased from the vast celluloid
warehouses of Howard Hughes,
who had a lot of stuff left over
from "Hell's Angeles"
Even such a fine veteran as
Antonio Moreno (and 1t Is good
to see him back on the screen
again) is lost in the maze of what
went out as a scenario. 1t isn't
fair to such capable players as
Mona Barrie, Barry Norton, Grant
Withers and others to judge their
performances in this.
Gene Lockhart carries OFT the
comedy honors with considerable
sparkle, although he does lean to-
ward the over-acting side Of things.
Even this is a relief.
If the academy had a BOBBY
award, Storm Over the Andes"
should win it without a struggle.
