MODERN SCREEN
SUSAN The Glamorous Garbo as a flaming light o'
LENOX love, plus Clark Gable as the main contender
for her favors, are sufficient to make this wages (M-G-M) o' sin film fable one you mustn't miss. It is
one of the season's top-flight features, and although the topic is scorchy as well is torchy, it provides Greta with one of her finest vehicles.
As Susan Lenox she wages the uneven battle of woman against the world, encountering such menaces as Ian Keith, John Mil j an, Alan Hale and Jean Hersholt in her meteoric hurtling from high places to the dance line of a South American dive. Greta, her fine supporting cast, and the beautiful production will hold you.
DEVOTION (RKO-Pathe)
A sort of East Lynne-ish production, smacking more strongly of the theatre than of the screen, serves to bring us Ann Harding again. And also to help materially in establishing Leslie Howard more definitely as one of the first gentlemen in the cinema. The fable introduces the glorious Miss Harding as a girl who will do 'most anything for love — even to hiding some few of her physical charms behind spectacles and a cockney accent.
In other words, she disguises herself to be near the man she adores, her discovery, of course, paving the way to the happy ending. The aggregation of players is especially strong.
MONKEY Those sure-shot Marx-men of the movies,
BUSINESS Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo, score
another hilarious hit in this new nonsense. The (Paramount) action rips along at a merry clip, hesitating
only long enough to let the audience recover its breath for the next laugh. Both situations and dialogue contribute to the fun, and Marx Brothers do their utmost.
The slight story doesn't matter. But the antics of those accomplished clowns Groucho, Harpo and Chico always hold interest. Zeppo sustains the romance with Ruth Hall, while Alison Lloyd (Thelma Todd to you), Rockcliffe Fellowes and big Tom Kennedy aid and abet the "monkey business."
SOB
SISTER
(Fox)
This one proves that Jimmy Dunn's immense success in "Bad Girl" was no accident, for in this story of love 'n' life on a newspaper the newcomer again tops all competition. The film itself doesn't equal its predecessor, although its good scenes more than balance the great open spaces that should have been more closely knit to make a right, tight story.
Against the exciting background of city desk and press room, Mr. Dunn and Linda Watkins enact a love story spiced with snappy dialogue and situations which add thrills and laughter to the hardboiled romance. It is, by the way, the film debut of Linda Watkins. Looks as if she may fulfil the brilliant prophecies made for her.
CONSOLATION Double-barrelled love is the theme of this MARRIAGE t^n' ^ut exPert"y woven film textile. Irene
Dunne and Pat O'Brien are the charming peo(RKO-Radio) pie who wed one another in a moment of pique
at their sweethearts, Lester Vail and Myrna Loy. Then, if you please, each of the newly weds finds renewed interest in the discarded lover.
Now how would you solve such a situation ? Yep, that's right ! It's the patter of little feet that saves the couple from divorce. And that makes a happy ending. The cast is great, with Miss Dunne and John Halliday doing extremely well. The remarkable Miss Loy continues to make strides toward stardom.
