Broadway and Hollywood "Movies" (Jan - Aug 1934)

M/ fil l E MOM /I A. Paramount to the (ore again with the mystic gongs of thfc oast. The suave smooth acting of that master of the stage anil screen, now worhl famous. Charles Laughton, is cast against the strong virile type of nianiiishnesn of Chas. Bickford and tempered by the exotic Carole Lom bard. Vi hat a trio. Carole was never so exquisite. Directed b> Stuart Walker, himself an artist. Plenty of sex in this! I HE MOULD CH AXCES. hi spite of the fact that Kate Cameron of the X. >. “Daily .News’* only gave this a lifty per cent rating, it is still a very marvelous picture, and most ably direct* ed by Mervvn LcRoy.

Wrought to have more of this type of pictures for our voulli. TO THE LIST MAX. Paramount picture, directed by Heury Hathaway, from the screen play by Jack Cunningham.

SKYWAY. — Monogram feature produced by W. T. Lackey, directed by Low Collins is a knockout comedy. Flash Morris loses his job as an aviator because of his ouick temper. Lila Beaumont gel* him a job in her father’s bank but he doesn't hold it very long because he is continually mixed up in some deal. Flash finally straightens things out. Kay Walker and Kathryn Crawford star. Very good. ^ LOVED A H OMAS. Warner Bros, made a great mistake in nut calling this one "Red Meat." Edward C. ‘Robinson should have been more of the type of pure. American giant to really handle Kay Francis who. by the way. sings most beautifully in this one. But why didn't she sing the second verse of "Home on the Kan'gc" when she had the chance, instead of repeating ? It was a mistake of direction here. BLUSIIK BOMBSHELL. This one’s a "natural” /or Jean Harlow and appears to be a take-off on the life of a certain movie vixen whose initials are C. B. Frank Morgan. Lo. Tracy, Franchot Tone. Fat O’Brien. Lna Merkel. Ted Healy, Ivan LcbedcIT, Isohcll Jewell, Louise Beavers, Leonard Cares. Mary Forbes. June Brewster and C. Aubrey Smith appear in support. A real comedy, and plenty "sexy.” Fine. ACI.IE 4 PPL EH J . A bit draggy, but we lake oil viur hat* i lo Mcrjan C. Cooper for his courage in producing this one. , Wynne Gibson gives an excellent account of herself, as does ' Win. t .argil], Charles Farrell is fair as "Adoniram Sell lump." while Betty Fur lie—, the Douglaston debutante, gives an ex| cellent account ol herself as "Ffvangcline." Xasu Pitts and 1 Blanche F'riderici also appear in this RkO Him. F'air. PUBLIC BE SOLD. K little late, hut it’s still play in?: a I sonic of tin* smaller houses. Richard Di\. Elizabeth Allen.

BULL. — An absorbing story with plenty of heart interest j and u wealth of humor. Not the b«*st thing Will Roger* has ever done, but one of the best. In this Pox production j he is supported by \ era Allen, Helen Freeman. Marian Nixon, j Kffie E lister. Howard Lally. Veda Buckland. Berton Church I ill, Patsy O'Byrne. Louise Dresser, Ralph Morgan, Andy ] Devine, Nora Cecil. Rochelle Hudson, ami Elizabeth Patterson, j ACE Oh ACES. A sort ol black-eye to Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, and certainly an exaggerated one at that. Women and soldiers wandering round within the sound of machine gun firing without gas masks. We’re surprised that so able a director as J. Walter Ruben could have made so many errors; where were all the military technicians or have they gone Hollywood ? Richard Dix stars in this ni. »nr«
