EXPLOITATION PICTURE of the issue HOLD THAT GHOST... The dearest thing to showmen's hearts is a spook show— but put Universal's looniest duo, Abbott and Costello, into the picture and you've got a juicy hunk of exploitation value, mister. Then add laugh ingredients Mischa Auer and Jean Davis, mix in Richai'd Carlson and Evelyn Ankers for the romantic touch, sprinkle lightly with songs sung by the Andrews Sisters and played by Ted Lewis and his band — and you've got a production platter fit to serve to a ravenous escapist public. Serve it hot and watch 'em eat it up! A I nix.T.sil I'icluie. ("Ast; Bud .VblioU & l,ou Costi'llo, Kicliard Carlson. Joan Divi.s, Mischa Auer, \<\r > n Ankers. Marr Lawrence, Sheinp Howard.
