CANTOR’S NEW FILM
“STRIKE ME PINK." Eddie Cantor is let loose in a gigantic amusement park in “Strike Me Pink,” his sixth annual musical extravaganza for Samuel Goldwyn. Eddie is cast as a timid fellow who takes a correspondence course in acquiring a dominating personality and becomes manager of Dreamland Amusement Park. He becomes involved with a gang of slot machine racketeers who have put every previous manager on the spot. The gangsters learn that Eddie secretly adores a glamorous night club star, played by Ethel Merman. This lady is really the wife of one of their numbers and they use her to trick Eddie into installing their fake slot machines.
Sally Eilers, seen as Eddie’s Dreamland sweetheart; Harry Parke, William Frawley and the 1936 crop of Goldwyn Girls are featured beside Ethel Merman in the comedy which Norman Taurog directed. “Strike Me Pink” is based on Clarence Budington Kelland’s Saturday Evening Post story and novel, “Dreamland.”
