For what it is, hokey Arabian Nights fantasy, "Aladdin and His Lamp" stacks up is entertaining fare for adventure fans, ertainly OK for the juvenile trade. The tory is not its strong point, the plot being
simply a succession of scenes involving the principals and the wonders the magic lamp is capable of working. Walter Wanger's Cinecolor production looks attractive, however; the performers are adequate and there is plenty of good action material to sustain interest. Lew Landers' direction is brisk and possesses enough humor to play the situations as they should be, in the spirit of fun. This Monogram offering is good dual bill fare.
Patricia Medina is exceedingly pretty as the princess, and John Sands convinces as Aladdin. Richard Erdman supplies some comedy. John Dehner, Bill House, Ned
Young and Rick Vallin do good work in featured roles.
STORY': Patricia Medina is the princess whose household is filled with conspirators anxious to seize power. John Sands, a pickpocket, conies upon the magic lamp and immediately uses its powers to gain great wealth. The catch to the situation lies in the fact that the Genie in the lamp is capable of assuming various human forms. To escape from his life as a Genie he must kill his master. Sands' life is in constant danger, but he succeeds in overpowering the princess' enemies and ultimately in claiming her as his own. ANGEL
