Suggested Title: Ooh Ooh

Good Ones:
Studio whose films got off to a roaring start   MGM
Kind of fiction   SCIENCE [I wonder]
Theme: echoic ooh sound
Dismiss an occult doll-making practice?   POOHPOOHVOODOO
Frilly Hawaiian dress?   FROUFROUMUUMUU

By the Way:
Hawaiian is a word with four vowels in a row.

GELT is a Yiddish word, and one for which we already have an exact translation.  Schlep, when used to connote the (tedious) carrying of an “unwanted” load, does not have a duplicate in English.  Sometimes schlep is most apt.

HOCH was used today in German, but in Yiddish /hock/ I think it means to annoy, but I don’t know the spelling.
 
Some Nits to Pick:
HOCH   [It's German]

RATING:   ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
