we all know that the Yugoslav
Congress is doing the utmost
in making this world a better
place in which to live. The lee

BY CHARLES GENTRY

IT'S BEEN too long since cafe
customers have listened 10 real
rhumba rhythms and given in to
the insinuating insistance of jungle
drums, but along comes the in
comparable Enric Madriguera and
gives out with a caribbean come
on that packs a spot like Lee n
Eddie's right up TO its maracas.
In fact, Enric was the last
Latin maestro TO play here in a
supper club and last nights throng
found that IL couldn't get in to
hear all of his new arrangements
which are nothing short of senSa-
tional.
Former fans and new rhumba
recruits all flocked 10 Lee n Ed
dies for Madriguera's opening and
there was literally dancing in the
streets. particularly Woodward
avenue, just because they could
find a convenient place TO wiggle
on the floor.
FINE COMBINATION
This is principally because En-
riC has a new band-the best he's
ever had-combined with a ter
rife show.
Show-toppers are those viva

IDEAL ROLE

When R-K-O was hunting for an
actor TO play the Jap wrestler IN
Behind the Rising Sun" eXecu-
tiveS remembered Mazurki'S work
and realized he was the ideal man
for the role. He didn't have a line
TO speak. but his pantomime
raised the role TO one of the out
standing ones in the film
His next silent role was that Of
the mute pirate. in The Spanish
Main" Who was the chief lieu
tenant 10 Paul Henreid. the Dutch
pirate chief. Here again he scored.
In his current role OF "SplitfaCe. "
he is one of the first characters
seen on the screen, appears
throughout the entire film but
does not talk until almost the
end Of the picture
NOT A LINE
Another outstanding example
of an actor who won high acclaim
without the aid of a line Of dia-
log was the late Alex Granach.
who played a geStapo agent in
Joan of Paris" He appeared in
almost every scene in the picture
AS the shadow OF Paul Henreid
and Michele Morgan.
Buster Keaton and Charlie
Chaplin are outstanding examples
of players who carried pantomime
over from silent films to the

duced The Dictator that Chap
