Hollywood - The movies have

In which the hero or the second

This epic novelty is Paramount's
"Wake Island" and 1t comes so close
to being documentary that the Or
iginal story Is being credited to the
U. Marine Corps. The ending comes
in q weller Of death and noise and
the scuttling advance of more and
more and still more japanese. There
Is no climactic triumph beyond the
establishment of another bright

Favorite Blonde" will continue to
entertain patrons ct Warmers State
theater over the weekend, through
performances Tuesday evening.
Fastest and funniest Of the long
line Of Bob Hope screen hits, my
Favorite Blonde" co-stars Madeleine
Carroll with the popular comedian
and Is @ treat not to be missed by
anyone.
The film more than matches in
speed and laughs the highspots Of

ing But the Truth"

In the title role Of course-is a
laugh-fest from start to finish and
presents Hope as q ham vaudeville
actor who has obtained Hollywood
contract because Of his partner, Percy,
a trained peguirn. Madeleine, q beau
tiful British secret agent, Is bound
for Los Angeles with flight plans for
the U. s. Army Air Corps when she
barges in on the startled Hope and
announces she's going to accompany
him to Hollywood. Then starts a
transcontinental chase, with the
spies supplying the excitement, that
for slapsticks and speed, puts the
Keystone Hops IN the shade. The
combination Of slapstick, thrills and
typical Bob Hope gags makes my
Favorite Blonde" unroariously funny.
The picture doesn't lag for a single
second so be prepared to laugh from
start to finish.
Percy the Penguin literally steals
the show, according to reports.
Trained by Captain Ralph Luxford,
Percy perambulates in and out of
the picture and steals more than
one Of the scenes from that cham
pion scenestealer, Bob Hope.
Gale Sondergard heads, the spy
