Miss Shutta is one OF the few art
lists made furiously famous by the
radio who wakes rather than wanes
on her own two feet. If you believe
her to be tops as you listen to her
warble in the quiet of your library.
YOU will think her even topper" as
you survey her neat gesticulationS on
the Fox stage.
Whereas in the old days she was
too much arms and too much legs
and even too much feet, she is now
poised. we'll hammered, very much
altogether, and more verSed in foot
light tactics than she has ever been
before.
Guided, no doubt. by the elder wis
dom of Husband George Olsen, she
knows, for instance that the way
to appeal TO feminine audience is
not to come out and wiggle and
shake and rant and roar. dividing
her torso neatly in half the jutting
out here and there in the most un-
usual places, but to walk neatly and
quietly to the micrOphOne throw back
her silken locks and Groom something
Sweetly sympathetic, such as Tiny
Little Fingerprints. which yesterday
at lit practically engulfed three
mothers sitting in row H i'll tears.
Having thus borrowed the affections
of the feminine contingent of the au-
Gience. and helped to stop the gentle
grooming of those matinee candy
chewerS. she then turns to the male
element and lets loose the kind of
talent that she knows will appeal to
them. Putting Tiny Little Finger
Prints" hurriedly behind her. she
launches into La Cucaracha.' that
torrid Mexican ditty which allows her
also to assemble some of her better
Hollywood limitations.
Having done Mae West with most
of the curves. and plunked out few
of CARLOS fallen arches. she swings
into college Rhythm. helped by a
made quartet which forms an admirable
background as she does a couple OF
light fantasies besides. Then. having
turned on II per cent of her steam
she ends it all in a blaze of glory
holding her cowgirl hat high in the air
kicking out her feet and dancing of
the stage to the huzzas of the audi
ence and trail of unanswered
encores
Swell trouper. Miss Shutta. Ir
Greenwich Village language, shes
got what it takes"
DEAR Or. Melcher:
~ Several years ago, when Universe
Pictures considered producing the
first "FrankenStein" picture. 1 realized
that it uaS a great experiment. II
was horror story that had lived
through the years, and gone through
reprint after reprint in book form
I'll admit l gave the okay to &C
ahead on the production with much
trepidation. When the picture was
ready for release I instructed theaters
to warn the public that it was not fol
the nervous or the Scary. l believe
in keeping the screen clean and being
honest with the public in telling then
lust what they may expect in pic
ture.
The picture "FrankenStein' met
with such popular approval and over.
whelming success that it became one
OF the biggest box Office sensations
in years. For this reason. and because
I have been urged for the last two
years by people from all sections OF
the country to put out a sequel. Uni
versal has produced the Bride OF
FrankenStein." AS I write this letter
it is being dated into leading theaters
throughout the country for immediate
showing.
The Bride of F'rankenStein" is a
horror picture. I need mince nc
words in telling you that 1t is a
shocker-even more so than the first
