Matt McHugh 1 YORK TIMES FILM REVIEW A Chinaman with a Confucian complex is one thing , but a China man who dispenses his gems of wisdom with an Edinburgh brogue is an incongruity you will seldom encounter outside of Loew's Cri terion , at which " Salome , Where She Danced , " opened yesterday . But then this collection of ani mated lantern slides , tinted in Technicolor , is probably the most fantastic horse - opera of the year . The Salome around whom Producer Waiter Wanger and Scenarist Lau rence Stallings built this film is a Viennese dancer . And the place where she danced back in eighteen something or other was a little Arizona desert town named Drink man's Wells . The rootin ' - shootin ' townspeople changed the oasis ' name to , see title above , in honor of the little dancer who convinced 2 gang of bandits that honesty is the best policy . But this notice is getting ahead of the film , which begins at Appo mattox , with General Lee riding home on a tired white charger , and then hops across the Atlantic in time for the Prussian - Austrian war . You see the ballerina , Salome , had outwitted one of Bismark's of . ficers and she had to flee to Amer . ica . Thus the film gets back to stagecoaches and a fabulous period in San Francisco , where a grandiose Russian spends rubles with reck less abandon and builds a gilded opera house for the little dancer . Meanwhile , a lot of other wonder fully imaginative things happen , and it becomes apparent at couple of points , that the film's ob servations on war and life repre sents a strained pseudo - allegory . Yvonne De Carol , a comparative newcomer , is starred in the title role , Miss De Carlo has an agree able mezzo - soprano singing voice , all the “ looks ” one girl could ask for , and , moreover , she dances with a sensuousness which must have caused the Hays office some anguish . The script , however , does not give her much chance to prove her acting talents . Abner Biber man , as the Scottish - speaking Chinaman , Rod Cameron , David Bruce , Walter Slezak , Marjorie Rambeau and J. Edward Bromberg fill supporting roles competently . Mr. Wanger provided the film with appropriate settings , squalid and splendorous , when the thing he needed most to make a satisfac tory entertainment was a half - way credible script , or , failing that , one which was completely end abashedly fantastic .
