We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The tunes, several of them written by or in collaboration with Jack Norworth himself, are so easy on the memory. There’s “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” “How Can They Tell I’m Irish,” and of course, “Shine On Harvest Moon” sung by Nora and Jack. Jack Carson has a lot of cut-up in him as The Great Georgetti, the magician, and Marie Wilson his dumb numb-brain partner is cuter than ever. And speaking of cuteness who is there to beat S. Z. Sakall and his quivering jowls? As Poppa Karl he’s a card. Dennis Morgan is a likeable fellow and does a swell job. Seems to feel more at home in the role than Annie somehow. Irene Manning and Robert Shayne are the heavies and you can have both of them for our dough. Your Reviewer Says: Tuneful and moonful. The Monsfer Maker (P. R. C.) OH MY gawd, here’s another nutty scientist, can you believe it? Some day somebody’s going to get after these Hollywood producers with a test tube and turn them all into monkeys for the way they malign the scientific researchers. This time guess what? J. Carrol Naish is a scientist who can make people’s heads grow big (and who needs a doctor for that, pray tell?) as well as their hands and feet. What’s more, he inflicts this horror on Ralph Morgan, a pianist, in order to force his consent to the marriage of his daughter, Wanda McKay, to Naish. And what a mess that is. And the picture is. And we are. Your Reviewer Says: Really, there should be a law.
