PHILADELPHIA, June 2-If you want to see the millionaire contrac- tor, Matthew H. McCloskey, who is also chairman of the Democratic state finance committee, you have to invade maze of low, dingy. red brick flats out Fifteenth Street way. The buildings are so much alike you can hardly tell one from an- other, until you come to Matt Mo- Closkey's.
 Right away you know this man McCloskey is efficient, aggressive, ultra modern.
 The McCloskey business build ing is only two stories, and not much larger than the surrounding piles of red brick, but it is the last word in construction engineering and pleasant landscaping. It's made of bright, clean concrete, trimmed with steel.
 Across the front of the structure shines a bold string of chrome steel letters two feet high that spell out "McCloskey." The entrance sits back from the drab street, and is flanked on the right by a small brilliant green lawn and clumps of rhododendron.
 Inside there is a quiet hustle, and on the second floor you enter a tion-conference room, where chipper young lady bows you in to Matt McCloskey's inner office.

 Cesar Romero, cast as an ego centric orchestra leader, who, with his companion, Don Ameche, flies across the Atlantic, starts this musical of superlative splendor on fast moving pace. An ocean fog puts the flyers off their course and they land in Norway where Jean Hersholt's five daughters Gone of them Sonja) are happily engaged in a Brides Fair" restival.
 The local custom that a young man who dances twice with a girl is proposing to her gets Romero in volved in love affair which is all hero-worship on the part of a lovelorn Sonia, and all baskng in the ever-satisfying warmth of ego tism by Romero.
 Don Ameche, sincere in his inter- est, tries to keep things on an even keel, but there is the matter of an- other girl of Romero's back in the States. The complications which arise provide plenty of comedy. All in all it's a film which should be seen by every man, woman and child. Don't fail to see it.
