Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

WHAT'S NEW*** SCREEK A PREVIEW OF THE LATEST PICTURE OFFERINGS Continued from naS'e four Lee Tracy and Jean Harlow in a tender moment from Bombshell, her latest picture and in which she displays great gifts as a comedienne. It is a satirical travesty on Hollywood and the movies always functioning at its capable best. George Brent, Margaret Lindsay, Eugene Pallett, Hugh Herbert, Dorothy Burgess, Ken Murray and others of the large cast unit to make this a thrilling entertainment of the melodramatic sort. A Chance at Heaven • Here's an attractive little romance of the triangle variety that is bound to please. Joel McCrea is very much in love with his small town sweetheart, Ginger Rogers, until Marian Nixon, a wealthy gal from the big city, arrives and patronizes Joel's gas filling station. Joel and Marian marry but the marriage fails and Marian returns to her society life while Joel — well, you better see for yourself what he does. Andy Devine supplies laughs to back up the splendid work of the principals. Lucien Littlefield, Virginia Hammond and George Meeker are other members of the supporting cast. The Way to Love • You'll probably recall Maurice Chevalier pictures you liked better but this story of a happy-go 8 lucky Parisian street gypsy will please you nevertheless. Maurice saves Ann Dvorak from the anger of her partner in a knife-throwing act which brings to Maurice all manner of amusing complications. Edward Everett Horton grabs plenty of the honors and others in the cast include Minna Gombell, Blanche Frederici, John Miljan, Grace Bradley and George Rigas. Goodbye Love • Charles Ruggles contributes one of his drunken characterizations with typical skill but otherwise there is little to recommend Goodbye Love. It is a story of two men and their difficulties with alimony seeking wives and a case of mistaken identity. Sidney Blackmer, Veree Teasdale, Mayo Methot and Phyllis Barry, the latter doing very well with a small part, comprise the cast. The Mad Game • Here's one you won't walk out on. Spencer Tracy, gangster chief, is released from prison and immediately starts to break up the kidnaping activities into which his gang has drifted. Spence does a compelling, mighty piece of work and will win your sympathy in this timely picture. Claire Trevor is a girl reporter who delivers her part forcefully as does J. Carroll Naish. Ralph Morgan, John Miljan, Kathleen Burke, Matt McHugh and others also appear. The Prizefighter and the Lady • Having read the fictionization of this great picture in December Hollywood you know it was bound to be fascinating entertainment. It is. There is the swellest ring fight ever screened, with Primo Camera and Max Baer trading punches while Jack Dempsey referees. To lead up to the fight is a fast-moving, romantic story with Myrna Loy, Otto Kruger and others delivering in customary fine style. You won't find a moment that your interest lags so by all means see this. White Woman • A fanciful story of a man, Charles Laughton, who has established his own kingdom on a river in the Malay Archipelago. When he learns Carole Lombard, in the title role, is about to be deported, he makes her his wife — and then she falls in love with Kent Taylor, one of the many criminals ruled by the "king" in his domain. A native uprising provides a sensational climax. Female • For the fans who have been complaining about the stories Ruth Chatterton has been cast in lately, this film is recommended highly. She gives a sparkling interpretation of a dual-sided woman — head of a manufacturing concern during the day, at night dangerously feminine. Many amusing and dramatic moments mark the film and it's well worth your attention. George Brent is worthy of praise in the leading male role and others of the excellent cast include Johnny Mack Brown, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Laura Hope Crews, Ruth Donnelly, Lois Wilson, Gavin Gordon and Kenneth Thompson. A Man's Castle • Probably the general public won't go very strong for A Man's Castle but it will make a big hit with the idealist. Spencer Tracy, a roughand-ready philosopher, falls in love HOLLYWOOD
