OF comedy is Mr.. Green. No longe,
IN bondage to the rule that every
gesture and infection of every
performance must be identical, his
ko-Ko now let's fly with every
improvisation that pops into his
head. This is a 1852 model Ko-Ko
not the turn of the century one
|Mr. Green formerly was required
to play. and he is an irresistible
scamp.
In the presence of such a Lord
High Executioner, there is moth
ing for the rest of the company
to do but relax into the same
graceful madness. Most conspic-
uously infected were Robert Eckles
in the role of the majestically
corrupt Pooh-Bah, Frank Rogier
as the naughty Pish- -Tush, and
Mr.. William as the romantically
distraught' Nanki-Poo.
y -
The musical excellence Of Mr.
Chartock's company is every bit
as evident in this sort Of per-
formance as in the more intense
one which opened the engage
ment here Monday night.
The two highlights of last
nights performance turned out te
be the comedy item, Here's q
How-De-Do," and the madriga]
that opens the second act. Mr.
Green's clowning kept the first
going until the performers (the
others. Mr.. William and Miss MUIR
phy) were exhausted. The shee,
vocal loveliness of the quartet's
number brought an almost equal
number of encores.
Even the choral groups which
seemed dispirited and heavy in
the first performance responded
to the inspiration of a "Mikado'
that is a sheer delight.

The Cast
By Harry Macarthur

Frank Yerby's popular adven-
ture novel,. "The Golden Hawk, /"
has provided the story for the
latest entry in the pirate film
cycle to come along. The Tech
nicolor movie of the same name
opened yesterday at the Ontario.
This pirate cycle probably is
a good thing and the open sea
is a welcome change from our
highly travelled West. There is
Ia great danger in reporting on
pirate films. however, Of hurting
somebody's feelings. They often
seem to be Satires Of their kind
while every actor in sight remains
deadly serious about his work.
This is the case again with
'"The Golden Hawk" It's pre-
posterous, but Sterling Hayden,
Rhonda Fleming. Helena Carter,
John Sutton and Director Sidney
Salkow are so earnest in their
approach that they must want
to be taken seriously.
Mr.. Hayden impersonates a
Frenchman named Kit Gerardo,
who leads a band of privateers
in small Caribbean war against
the English and Spanish. For a
serious-minded pirate who wants
to get ahead in the world, he has
an amazing faculty for being cap
tured by the enemy.
Miss Fleming plays a noble
woman who has become a pirate
named Rouge to recoup the family
fortunes. Her path naturally
crosses that of Kit Gerardo's at
frequent intervals. Both of their
paths cross those of Luis del Toro
(John Sutton) and his bride
(Helena Carter. Things get fair
lily complicated with all these
paths crossing.
1t will suffice you to know that
Rouge, who can swim for miles
lin a flowing skirt and does on
several occasions, is Kits big
problem. He falls in love with
her on their first meeting and she
shoots him and swims away. He
searches for her but never finds
her until he inadvertently burns
her Jamaica plantation. She de-
nounces him to Del Toro and gets
him sentenced to be hanged. then
realizes what a terrible thing she
has done. She loves him. So she
helps him escape.
Mr.. Salkow has managed a fair
enough amount of pirate action
in transferring Robert E. Kent's
scenario to the screen and the
sea and its sailing vessels are
pretty in Technicolor. Salkow has
let some stiff Kent dialogue get
by, however, and the actors are
not much help in reading it. Miss
Carter is quite a dish. So, for that
matter, is Miss Fleming. Rhonda,
however. goes through the whole
thing with an expression indi-
eating she doesn't believe they
really could do this to her.
AS for Hayden, he manages
only to arouse the suspicion that
he was right those times when
he threatened to leave Hollywood
because he was no actor.

One suSpectS-in fact one more

this hilarity has spread through

Here, suddenly, was sparkling
parody, an unleashed flood of
nonsense that could not fail to
captivate an audience that was
entirely too small for the cultural

community.

a performance that seemed gen.

Belle Starr, lady bandit, is the
heroine of Montana Belle" at
Keith's. impersonated with her
usual dramatic flair by Jane Rus
sell. This is q fairly routine out
door exercise. with several actors
in need Of a shave cluttering up
the Trucolor scenery, claiming to
be Dalton brothers and doing lot
of snarling and shooting.
Montana Belle" has been on
the shelf out at RKO for some
time now, possibly because it's his
tory is more interesting that it
is. It was made at Republic by
Howard Welch, who had Miss Rus
sell on a loan-out from Howard
Hughes. Then Hughes, head OF
RKO at the time, bought the pic
ture and put it away. Mr.. Hughes
isn't with RKO any more, but the
new management is turning an
honest buck with his star and
picture.
Actually. the film could have
remained in the vaults without
widespread mourning overtaking
the Nation. It is solely for those
who can't stay away from any pic
ture filmed west of the mississippi
and for those who admire Miss
Russell's acting style. Or what
ever it is her admirers admire.
There is quite a bit of Miss Rus
sell in Montana Belle" She leads
a bandit gang with sullen deter
mination, rides hard, shoots
straight and takes a fling at sing
ing in a saloon run by George
Brent. She also gets shot in pay
ment for her life of crime.
Miss Russell's supporting cast,
in addition to Brent, includes
Scott Brady, Forrest Tucker, Andy
Devine and a host of those cowpoke
types who live at Republic. They
have been fully equal to any de-
mands made of them by Director
Allan Dwan or the script. H. M.
