THEATRE GUIDE Q3IIHO merriment and deafening hand-ciappihg. Best trick of all was the star's impersonations, which were so ludicrous they became sidesplitting caricatures. First takeoff was on a hillbilly singer, then in turn an opera star, prize fighter, a Japanese actor, James Cagney and Cary Grant. Following one number from the Moulms famed dancingsinging extravaganza gal show, and some eccentric song-dance work by the hilarious Four Stepbrothers, Lewis came on the stage riding a bicycle and singing "Im Sitting on Top of the World. Between clowning, singing and real hard work, the actor often lapsed into sentimental moments recalling hearing A1 Jolson for the first time; singing a lullaby fchich he used to lull his children to sleep and stressing what a great partner his Italian wife has been these 14 years.

There was some soft-shoe dance W'ork with a partner that dragged but on the whole the Lewis show is an uproarious success. L. B. SCREEN DRAMA MUSIC 114 N. Watlay, i EM.

Powell, Pete King, Bernard Mayers and Robert Russell Bennett and comes through with wonderful percussive and brass rolling bounce. Alfred Newman conducts with sweeping authority.

The Hammerstein lyrics also come through with exceptional emotional clarity as they must in this story where so much of the plot and nuances are told through song. In short, to borrow a much abused Hollywood expression, this picture is terrific! "South Pacific has both the soft allure of romance and the haid bite of realism. It has conflict expressed in song words This sharpness of comment sets the film apart and makes the message achingly felt.

Next there are 13 colorful songs by the famed lyric-musie team which range in mood from such wde-splitters as "Cockeyed Optimist and "Im Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair to such delightful heart palpita-tors as "Im in Love With a Wonderful Guy, "Some Enchanted Evening and "Younger Than Springtime. And while on the subject a couple of songs catapult Mitzi Gaynor squarely on top of the songthrush heap. She not only modulates beautifully, but Mitzi acts out her numbers with tremendous effect.

Few, if any, film musicals can boast the Variety of colorful characters who range from the sublime to the hilarious. There's Bloody Mary, for instance, portrayed by the talented Juanita Hail. She's not only a comedienne, dramatist and scene thief, but she sings like an angel whenever the script prescribes Other star characters include the Bilboesque Rat Walston as Billis. Hes just about the funniest funnyman anywhere in captivity.
