Rainoow Revels ! In addition to color schemes by Robert Edmond Jones , "Dancing Pirates" introduces Charles Collins — screen "discovery" of John Hay Whitney. The new dancing star is seen at top center, and, above, with Steffi Duna. Since comedy belongs in every film— color or black and white — there's Frank Morgan present among the dancers and pirates in this new film, and you see above the three principals of the picture, Morgan, Steffi Duna, and Charles Collins, engaged in scene that appears to blend humor with romance. Bold, dashing, and dancing pirates and lovely senoritas seem a perfect combination to bring color to the screen — particularly when there is added to the action the terpsichorean nip-ups being demonstrated above by Charles Collins, and right and left by Steffi Duna.
