 Hollywood, Calf. = The throne of the Mighty Chaplin has been chal- 1enged many times without success but now from South of the bor- der comes the genial thunder of a nations laughter and the news that "the worlds favorite comedian" has had to take second place in the hearts and boxofflces of Mexico.
 Mexican exhibitors rubbed their eyes, then raked in the pesos re- gently when 'Ni Sangre, Nj Arena" ('sNeither Blood Nor Sand'O, the second full-length film starring Canttnflas, topaped the receipts of The Great Dictator" and blew the record established by Gone With the Wind" almost back to Atlanta.
 Not even the success of CantinfiaS first feature, "Ahi es el Detalle!" ('"There is the DetailD, a phrase which is his Identification, nor the comedians long popularity in Mex leo City's theaters, had prepared them for such cataclysrnic triumph. THEY FOUND HIM:
 THEY WANTED HIM
 Cantinflas' background is not full ly known. He came up from the ''barrioS" the outlying metropolitan districts, where tent-shows and open air vaudeville are part and parcel of the peoples entertain ment. One rumor has 1t that he was discovered by two American news papermen. Another claims that he was introduced to the public by the manager of a popular music hall Still another tale calls him a pro- tege of Roberto Soto, himself a great Mexican comic artist.
 It would seem, however, that the true discoverers of Cantinflas were the Mexican people and, after them, the audiences of Central America wanted him-lots of him, they wanted him-lots of him, and They got him.
 At the same time that "Abi es el Detalle" was playing to packed houses in the cinemas of Mexico City and the provinces. Cantinflas In person was nightly cramming Ehem in like sardines at Folies Ber- geres, the capitals largest music hall. The public came again and again to watch their idol. They stamped their feet and whistled for Encores; they stayed through sec aH1d show, third.

Savo. When. his triumphant stare rests upon his aggressors, 1t is pos- sible to recall some of the quieter moments of Master Harpo Marx. But these resemblences are only superficial. Uninhuenced by anyone are his grave insouciance, the shat tering candor, &he inexpressibly graceful and comic genius of his timing which makes every word and gesture hilariouS-and faintly sad. Like all great comedians he is, even at his most slapstick, close to pathoS.
 On the wave of his great success his managers have sent him to Hollywood to Hook around and see how things are done" While he is here "Ni Sangre, M Arena" will be released in the southwest, and, 1t is to be hoped, in the rest of the United States.
