The immaculate Mr. Basil Rath
bone isn’t so immaculate in his
latest picture.
He’s covered with mud, dust, and
a peculiarly offensive mixture of
mineral oil and body make-up. He’s
wearing a ragged, dirty grey prison
uniform, a scraggly straw hat and
a sloppy pair of sandals, held to
his feet by throngs which pass
between his toes. In fact, he looks
like the role he’s playing—that of
a convict in a jungle prison, in
Universal’s “Rio.”
