Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

What's New on the Screen! Continued from page eleven Oriental dive, Miss Francis falls in love with physician Lyle Talbot only to find her romance threatened by Ricardo Cortez. Love's redemption and the thwarting of the villain constitute the plot structure of the drama. The principals share acting honors with Warner Oland, Ruth Donnelly and Lucien Littlefield in able support. The Search For Beauty • Here's a picture unreservedly recommended for the entire family, revolving around the activities of two erstwhile Olympic champions, Buster Crabbe and Ida Lupino, who first launch a health magazine and then follow it up with a health farm, using as examples of their preachments the winners of a worldwide search for physical perfection. The plot begins to jell when Jimmy Gleason, Robert Armstrong and Gertrude Michael attempt to chisel in on the project. Youngsters will thrill to* the elaborate athletic pageants and adults will find plenty of amusement in the antics of the Armstrong-Gleason team. It Happened One Night • Crisp dialogue and comedy with a fine dramatic punch combine to make this one of the most thoroughly natural and enjoyable pieces of human drama ever put upon the screen. Clark Gable, newspaperman, aids Claudette Colbert to escape a marriage forced upon her by her father. From that point events move swiftly to a joyful conclusion. Leads outstanding with Walter Connolly and Roscoe Karns distinguishing themselves in supporting roles. Frank Capra, director, has turned out a hit picture which you must not miss. Good Dame • Sylvia Sidney and Fredric March do themselves proud in a sweetly convincing love story laid against the background of a sordid carnival lot. Sylvia, a stranded chorus girl, joins a carnival troupe where she meets March. Thrown together through a series of misfortunes, their love triumphs over various obstacles. A splendid picture which will add much to the laurels of the co-stars. By all means plan to see it. Looking For Trouble • If you're looking for entertainment watch for Looking for Trouble, which has everything — comedy, thrills, excellent gags and dialogue, suspense, human drama and a remarkable new comedy team, Spencer Tracy and Jack Oakie. "Trouble shooters" for a telephone company, they go in for everything from wire-tapping to murder-solving with time out for romantic interludes with Constance Cummings and Arline Judge. Carolina • Delightfully entertaining is this story of the financial travails of an old Southern family who conceive the not entirely original idea of marrying off a son to revive the family fortunes. Janet APRIL, 1934 Gaynor is the Yankee girl who becomes the eventual bride of Robert Young. Nice performances by the young people; but Lionel Barrymore steals the dramatic thunder in his role of the harddrinking and slightly insane uncle. Gaynor fans won't be disappointed in this romantic story. Hi, Nellie! • It's a long jump from the chain gang to the lovers' advice department of a big newspaper, but Paul Muni makes the leap successfully and thereby hangs up another of his unusual characterizations. His friends call him "Nellie," (when he is forced to forsake his editor's chair temporarily to pinch hit for Cupid), but Paul does a grand job, solves a missing-person mystery and gets a newspaper scoop. Ned Sparks and Glenda Farrell acquit themselves more than creditably but Muni steals the show. Six of a Kind • You'll probably be weak with laughter and just a bit dizzy when this riotous comedy finally fades out on your local screen, but you owe it to yourself not to miss it. Mary Boland, Charles Ruggles, Burns and Allen, Alison Skipworth and W. C. Fields are co-starred in a series of episodes which will have you helpless with laughter from first to final reel. There's a plot, of course — something about Ruggles and Boland taking a second honeymoon which a clever crook tries to utilize as a means of getting away with embezzled bank funds — but it really doesn't matter. Grand fun for everybody, Junior and Grandma included. This Side of Heaven • Another treat for Lionel Barrymore fans in a brightly done story of a family to whom everything happens at once. Fay Bainter, noted stage star, makes her screen debut and registers heavily. As the story opens, the mother has just sold her first book to the movies; the father, innocently embroiled in an office embezzlement, almost takes an overdose of sleeping tablets; the son cracks up in an auto accident. Matters are a bit hectic but there's a happy fadeout. The Lost Patrol 0 Here's one off the beaten path — a grim and at times draggy story of men without women. Locale is the Mesopotamian desert in 1917. A patrol of British Tommies is attacked by Arabs who kill the youthful officer, leaving the command to Sergeant Victor McLaglen, lost and in desperate straits. The Britons reach an oasis, are surrounded by the tribesmen and are murdered one by one. McLaglen turns in the performance of his life and he's in good dramatic company with Boris Karloff, Wallace Ford, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale and Billy Bevan playing other members of the doomed patrol. Despite the grimness of the theme, you'll like the work of the cast and the beautiful photography.
