DANNY KAYE and FRIEND Soliloquy For Three Heads

Danny Kaye excels in new comedy film

Rating:

"The Inspector General," unquestionably the best Danny Kayo picture over produced, is now at the Queen's, and Alhambra Theatres and should be a must show for all lovers of the antics of Mr. Git-Gat-Giddio,

►

If there were any award standing for comedians, Mr. Koye would definitely run away with it. He has managed to run riot in a film that will probably go down as a classic comedy. His performance is one that must be called inimitable.

Glenn Ford wipes smile off face

Rating:

Glenn Ford's captivating, car-to-car grin' has givon way in his recent roles to a grim, hard set of the jaws indicative of the ruthless char- acterisations which havo come his way. Now Glenn is spotted in what is perhaps the meatlest role of his considerable career, the part of the murderous treasurer-seeker, who eliminates all rivals in his quest for $20,- 000,000 in gold hidden in the Lost Dutch- man mine.

The film. Columbia's "Lust for: Gold," is currently at the Roxy and Broadway Theatres.
