WHITE SAVAGE
(Universal)

technicoloured isle somewhere in the Pacific. I can’t give you the exact geography in case the Japs hear about it-but it must be fairly close to Africa, because they’ve got lions there. And yet it can’t be far from the East Indies, because the natives and their architecture are distinctly Javanese. And yet they speak a kind of broken Mexican. Well, anyway, this isn’t the only thing that doesn’t make sense. .. . At first thought it might seem unnecessary to use technicolour on a white savage, but as soon as you see her you will notice that Miss Montez is just as bronze-skinned, black-haired and exotic as she was in Arabia.
