Samuel Goldwyn has built around his banjo-eyed clown the usual opulence In setting, maids and melody, A hundred of the gorgeous Goldwyn Girls sing and dance and cavort with Eddie in the shadow of the pyramids. Ethel Merman’s, bubbling humour and her deepthroated song match Eddie’s in the picture; Ann Sothern and George Murphy are the romantic interest. The “ga-ga, dumb-bunny” nonsense of Eve Sully is heard for the first time on the screen in “Kid Millions.” ! The songs were written by Gus Kahn I and Walter Donaldson, with an added ditty by Harold Adamson" anil Bur top ’ Thg ’ spptiiiie?}tai; tambourined rhymes of “Maudy” still belong to Mine Berlin. but'flip famous old ballad has a new splendour in its fresh revival. Dances that are innovations in screen technique as they skip from a Brooklyn i barge to a minstrel show to a Mississippi River steamboat to shimmering ; beauty in the garden of a desert l harem, were created by Seymour Felix.
