MYSTERY AND Music fill the
bills this week at the Michigan
and Fox where the new films
Opening today hold more promise
than a finance company.
"The Maltese Falcon at the
Michigan is something TO look out
for, and although il won't be re-
viewed until later, we can tip you
off that you better hang on to
your hats. kids, because this is one
mystery that's going TO get you, if
you don't watch out.
TOUGH BOGART
Humphrey Bogart undertakes a
tough role, but this time, he's on
the track of the killers and his
gangster-like air Is used to cam
Imouflage a heart of gold.
He also makes love TO Mary
Aston in such sinister way that
they're calling this "menace-ap.
peal" instead of the good old u. S.
A. UNITED Sex AppeaD.
Gladys George, Sydney Green
street and Peter LORE help to
make the whole affair a little
more terrifying than usual.
ACTED WITH LUNTS
Greenstreet, you may recall Is
the rotund actor who was with
the Lunts for so many years and
played an important role in practi-
cally everything which Lynn and
Alfred did. He was the comicsl
night Waterman in "Amphytrion
80" and the wonderful old Uncle
Valdemar in There Shall Be No
Night" among most recent pro-
auctions.
Now he's In the movies and his
career may stay right in Holly
wood II he gets breaks like he does
in THE Maltese Falcon"
Kisses For Breakfast" is the
title of the light little affair which
is also on this bill. Dennis Morgan,
Shirley Ross and Jane Wyatt are
featured.
WRONG CRUSADE
How To Make Latins Loathe
Us" seemed TO be the crusade the
movies started TO wage at first
and for long while productions
seemed to be doing some kind of
subversive work undermining the
good neighbor policy or at least
trying to move him out of the
same block.
This was mostly unintentional
because Hollywood didn't know
when you portrayed a Brazilian
speaking Spanish, instead of
Portuguese you had a Brazilian
that wasn't kosher.
CLASSED THE SAME
Not only that, but every time
a South American appeared on the
screen he was either a villain, a
gigolo, or Don Ameche and we
don't know which made the Latins
madder. Every country, from
Mexico to Chile was all classed
under one head. their separate
languages, customs, music and
morales were never specified and
consequently the temperature
south of the border began to rise.
Now finding themselves up the
Amazon, the film producers are
paying careful attention to detail
and the result are movies like
Week End In Havana" the
colorful musical which opened at
the Fox today.
MIRANDA AS BEAUTY
OF course, Carmen Miranda is
represented as a Cuban beauty,
but then anything can happen in
Havana. Lavish dances including a
new one we can't pronounce and
songs like Tropical Serenade" and
Weekend In Havana" the title
tune all are trimmings for Miss
Miranda, John Payne, Alice Faye
and Cesar Romero. who cavort
unsteady throughout.
Moon Over Her Shoulder" a
domestic romance with that new
English dream prince. John SUIT
ton, and Dan Daley Jr. wing for
the favors of lovely Lynn Bari,
completes the bill.
