I T MAY be presumptuous to compare any story
1 with the immortal “Treasure Island,” but
■*- there is a real basis for it here, for the narra
tive does deal with treasure, pirates and a Pacific
island in an uncommonly delightful way.
In thrills, it must yield 1g its great predecessor;
in humor, it is at least a good second; in variety
and up-to-dateness, it has the advantage.
It is a real treasure hunt with the unique quality,
giving rise to delicious humor, that the hunters
are led by women, It is a genuine treat.
