(UP) The National Federation of Music clubs has announced three more comedy out of the dark continent Frank Buck may bring 'em back but Crosby and Hope bring 'em back weak with laughing. These two juggle words and gags around 10 fast that you have to choke back giggles and shush your neighbors to keep up. Some of the Crosby easy-going naturalness has transmitted itself to Hope and they give all the zany goings-on an ad-lib quality. That's an art in itself and if you want to see an apt demonstration, take the road to Zanzibar. Crosby is a circus barker and Idea man and Hope is his fall guy.

Crosby tries out his ideas on Hope's neck. All very chummy. Then the two bright boys fall for the old Eve trick. Yes, it's a woman, to be sure or two women, a couple of stranded second-rate vaudevillians W'ho take the boys on a safari so that one of them can got to Zanzibar and there wed a rich guy waiting for her. Even Frank Buck's eyes would pop out at what can happen to this safari.

The going hits its high in foolishness when a bunch of cannibals hold a jive session around a boiling pot while Crosby and Hope survey the scene from a couple of bird cages and see themselves as 65-cent blue plate specials. This is as smooth a gag picture as you could wish and should put I Two other numbers which are i comparatively far apart, will be "Antithesis" and "Floradora Baby." The first presents the pros and cons of any situation, while the second is a chorus girls' appeal to the "tired business man's" heart. Ridicule Superstition Ridiculing our pet superstitions.
