Genghis Khan Reincarnate -- Finally, with benefit of wardrobe, Miller is sufficiently menacing and ready to go to work as Genghis Khan in "The Golden Horde."Marvin Miller is an ordinary fellow whose better-than-ordinary voice and speaking personality keep him familiar to the American public via a half-dozen radio programs. But the movies find him useful for another reasons his physiognomy. Marvin recently played a Chinese pirate, Bok Ying in a movie ("Smuggler's Island"), and Hakar, a Tangerian bully-boy in another ("The Prince Who Was a Thief"), but he takes his biggest flight into Oriental fancy In the role of Genghis Khan in the forthcoming Technicolor film, "The Golden Horde," in which he plays historic heavy to an English knight (David Farrar) and a princess of Samarkand (Ann Blyth). Herewith pictures showing how easy it is to convert radio's Mr. Miller to the movies' Khans: November 04, 1952. (Photo by G.K. Austin, Universal-International).
