Thursday at the Liberty Theatre.
Judging hy the past performances
of Miss Lamour et al., they can
do plenty.
In equipping this trio for being
sportive on the screen together.
Paramount has trotted out some
of its best talent to provide story
and direction of high calibre. No
less than three writers worked
on the screen-play to fill It.
chockful of cracks, while Louis
King turned his directorial mind
to comedy situations, varied with
moments of drama.
To get down to cases, we find
Miss Lamour cast as an entertain
er in a night club in Rangoon.
Rangoon is in Burma, a province
of India, just to throw in an odd
fact lor good measure. The boys
—Robert Preston and Preston
Foster (don’t get them mixed up.
now), are seen as a couple of
lively lads who deal in teak.
Boys meet girl when they en
counter her during a trip down
the river to Rangoon to pick up
some money to keep the teak bus
iness percolating. They find Dor
othy in a night club, and alter a
time, she goes back with them to
the compound whence they ^ope
rate. A compound Is not a'formu
la for gunpowder or a medicine—
it’s just one of those places they
have in India for sleeping, eat
ing, etc.
From that point on, the story
gets a lot more complicated and
we’re not going to tangle yon up
in it. But you’ll find that cobras
menace Lamour, and there is a
forest fire that really is ■ some
thing, we understand, npt=' to
mention a log jam that really
jams thrills into the motion' pic
ture.
Others who are in the cas^ .m-
clude Doris Nolan, seen a|i iil
young lady who falls in love With
Foster, who Is in love with Doror
thy. But 60 is Preston, for th»t
mat er. And it makes for lo^-of
rom ince. Albert Basswman,
