run of successes in the “ Thin Man " series, starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, not forgetting Asta, that acme of canine intelligence. If a vote were taken for the most perfect team of two players it would be hard to keep the first award from Bill and Myrna. They are perfect partners, playing up to each other all the time, and they are all the more entertaining and amusing by the fact that they understand each other so well. As Nick Charles, famous detective, Bill pulls the wool over the eyes of his enemies as easily as he lifts a cocktail, but his cleverest tricks and elaborate plans do not deceive Myrna Loy (as Nora Charles) for a single moment. A pair that get more popular with every performance are Arthur Lucan and Kitty McShane in “ Old Mother Riley ” series. These films are farcical comedy, but there is a vein of sound common-sense philosophy running through them.

The story of the white boy who was lost in the jungle and brought up by friendly apes is one calculated to thrill boys of all nations and men who have never lost the adventurous spirit of youth.
