Behind his tnnnc mannerism he con ceals a shrewd and clever mind, and winds in and out of comedy situ ations with all the vacuity of a lnmh being led to slaughter, while con trolling the action all the time. Shnring top honors with him in the film are Olenda Farrell, lovely blonde star, and the European-appearing Cesar Romero. Warren Hymer plays stooge again. Arthur Greville Collins directed.

Many old songs of the period are revived in the picture, ana ev. eral new tunes have been specially written for it. y No male lead in Hollywood can han dle sophisticated dialogue more ably than Fred MacMurray.

Ruth Donnelly preserves her usual dry de tachment as the plot thickens in the close confines of the cabin plane. For the other half of the program there is an expose of a new "skake down" ring in "Human Cargo." The Rex is presenting both features this Sunday. GUNS GO BANG FOR . Edward G. Robinson returns to the screen in "Bullets Or BalJots," shar ing the bill now on at the McDonald with H. G. Wells "Things To Come." The story of the Robinson film is by Martin Mooncy, the New York news paperman who was sent to jail for 30 days for contempt of court be cause he refused to divulge the names of gangsters who gave him informa tion confidentially. Robinson's new role affords him all tho opportunities for character ization that "Little Caesar," the pic ture that made him famous, gave him, but in this picture he is on the side of the law, as a hard-boiled detective determined to put the boldest and best organized gang of criminals known to history out of business.
