ries about as much conviction as a
2-year-old's demand for a drink of
water just after the 2-year-old has
been tucked in for the night. So
do most of the other moments of
The Dolly Sisters. which give it
one of the silliest looks you ever
have seen on movie musical. Even
those to whom the Dolly girls are
mere hearsay will refuse to accept
the noisy implications of the film
at the Palace that they could have
been such emotionally empty fe-
males as Miss Cradle and June
Haver portray. With no more per-
sonality than they manifest In the
film, they would have been lucky
to sing at Minsky,s. AS for having
the first Hammerstein and the last
liegfleld at their feet, even Daryl

produced the film, would have to
laugh, if he could forget the in
vestment in the picture.

Reviewing an Abbott and Costello
picture is like reviewing the onion
in a martini. Either you like it or
you don't and no one can persuade
you or dissuade you. 1t should be
reported that the latest cinema ef-
fort of the two former burlesque
zanies, something called abbott
and Costello in Hollywood" which
opened yesterday at Loew's Capitol
is as funny as anything they have
done and funnier than a number
of items they have perpetrated. But
after saying this, there remains little
else that cries for attention.
The plot of this I'm Hollywood"
adventure is something that is
the plots of the skits Mr.. A. and Mr..
c. used to perform down at Col.
Jimmy Lakes Ninth street institu-
ton, the Gayety. 1t seems to have
to do with couple of BARRIERS who
set out to win fortune, If not fame,
by becoming agents and making a
star of young type who appears
Just the sort that two BARRIERS like
| this pair would select for stardom.
No avid Abbott Costello fan expects
much of plot, of course, and prob
ably even would be struck dumb with
shock on the spot if his two idols
were brought into conjunction with
anything that made sense. There
doesn't seem to have been much
point in bringing up this business
of plot, does there?
There does not, for that matter,
seem to be much point in bringing
up anything, unless it is the left
shoulder in a mild shrug. AS we
keep repeating, to make a short
story long, If you like Abbott and
Costello, you should be very happy
here, especially at the sight Of Mr..
Costello being mistaken for dummy
and getting tossed about a saloon
set and later becoming involved in
some breath taking adventures on a
roller coaster that is about to be
blown up. There must have been
some Abbott Costello admirers in
the audience yesterday: some people
lust laughed and laughed.
