Thus for their Dorothy they did not institute a nation-wide search Cl-iford Odets's play. "Golden Boy," waj written in Hollywood and is dedicated to a Hollywood star.

Its author has been accused cf being unduly influenced by the film capital in his choice of subject and even in his presentation of that subject, Perhaps it is out of some unexpected sense of spiritual ownership that Hollywood has made it in its film version something of which Odets may well be proud, and which the play's Broadway detractors cannot but admire.

And the film which presents this Dorothy and these Broadway fan-tastics is built to give all of them the opportunity to display their abilities in the song-and-dance field. And the cyclone whisks Dorothy's house from Kansas to land in the middle of a production number with all the Singer's midgets in the country.

Oz turns out to be a land of cellophane flowers, camera trickery and Billie Burke as the Good Witch Glinda. Like most Hollywood musicals, the story is apt to be a bit tiresome at times. Too much footage has been spent on the early Kansas scenes, proving to us that Dorothy's later adventures can clearly be exnlaihed in tho litrhf nf FoilOUet Srhllrllrrnt Porthos. Alan Hale A ram is.

Garbo is a "Mezzochronmatic." Such is the new term for the Swedi-h star's voice coined by Conrad Kahn, sound engineer handling its recording in "Ninotchka." Literally, Kahn explains, it means medium depth with vibrant timbre and colorful overtones. "Aside from a medium deep voice," he "her vocal cords create a secondary vibration or series of overtones which add color. Her voice is like a harmonic on a violin string in which two separate vibrations blend into a single note." A few singers have this quality, says Kahn. but he has rarely seen it in a speaking voice.
