ambulance man. He mimics the
original quite capably as he runs
through a vast album Of Cantor
songs during the climb from Gus
Edwards and vaudeville to Zieg-
field and stardom.
The film achieves genuine
warmth, though. only when Aline
MacMahon is on hand. which,
fortunately is often during the
first half or three-quarters of the
epic. AS Cantor's Grandma
Esther. Miss MacMahon gives the
role sincerity and depth. It is a
most appealingly human per-
Torrance. Marilyn Erskine, as
Ida, the childhood sweetheart
Cantor married, comes OF as
quite believable. too.
The songs to which Brasselle
does the synching and dancing
in "The Eddie Cantor Story"
were recorded, of course. by Can
tor himself. These range from
ROW, Row, Row" to II Love to
Spend Each Sunday With You"
The album includes "How You
Gonna Keep En- Down on the
Farm" eff You Knew Susie, !"
ooh, You Beautiful Doll" Eyes
Sir. That's MY Baby" bye Bye
Blackbird," Josephine" Pretty
Baby" and what seems like sew
eral dozen more.

anything keep you away.

Eddie Cantor Story Told
In Song-ond-Donce Film
By Harry Macarthur

If wandering down Memory
Lane with Eddie Cantor on your
mind is your idea of a good time,
your day has come. A lengthy
Technicolor bio-musical film
fantasy titled 1.-THE Eddie Cantor
Story" is the new screen attrac-
ton at the Metropolitan and
Ambassador Theaters.
This is really an Eddie Can
tor concert, pasted together with
generous gobs of treacly senti-
ment. It starts with Cantor as
a young orphan boy in New York
and winds up with him a big
star doing good works.
The continuing career which
has produced five daughters and
nobody knows how many high
pitched songs performed at a
gallop seems not to have pro-
duced any extraordinary drama.
At any rate Writers Jerome
Weidman, Ted Sherdeman and
Producer Sidney Skolsky have
covered it with a conventional
backstage yarn.
The Cantor who energies here
is a real sweet fellow, but a two
dimensional one. He may suffice
for the motherly types who have
been Eddie Cantor fans since
1914. but he is hardly intriguing
as the central figure in a movie
biography.
Neither Richard Monda (Cap-
tor at the age Of 13) nor Keefe
BraSselle Cantor grown up. with
eyes popping) can fairly be
blamed for the flatness. Almost
every one around the place must
have known more about Cantor
than the two of them together,
including Producer Skolsky and
Director Alfred E. Green. Yet
they let young Monda and 5ras-
selle play the entertainer as just
too good to be true. The Cantor
created in "The Eddie Cantor
Story" would make Little Lord
Fauntleroy look like poolroom
bum by comparison.
If he doesn't quite manage
Cantor the off-stage man. how
ever. Brasselle does come off
quite well as Cantor the song

nervous over the increasing de-
mand for Red China's raw silk,
Kyodo News Service reported
today.
Silk producing circles report
a recession due to competition
from the Communists, Kyodo
said. It explained that improved
quality and lowered costs of Red
China silk had started the trend
away from the Japanese product.
Kyodo said Switzerland was
filling so per cent of its monthly
silk needs from Red China and
France also permits the purchase
Of its silk from the Communists.
Both India and Indo-C China
also have increased their silk
purchases from the Reds. Kyodo
