(June) TWELVE CROWDED HOURS— RKO-Badio The Richard Dix of the great "Cimarron" is lost here as a news reporter who helps a pal when murder will out. The story is well-knit, but you may be sick of the newspaper-versu;-rackets idea. Lucille Ball is Dix's sweetie and Allan Lane also runs. (May) *WIFE. HUSBAND AND FRIEND— 20th Century-Tox Warner Baxter needed a good picture and he has it in this blend of comedy, burlesque and music, the plot based around a contractor whose wife (Loretta Young) has a yen to be a singer. Binnie Barnes is the opera star who finally brings matters to a dramatic climax. (May) WINNER TAKE ALL— 20th Century-Fox Tony Martin is a singer — not yet too good an actor, but he's fine in this as the fighter whose name has been built up in fixed fights. He carries the fortunes of Henry Armetta in his gloves, as Armetta is treasurer of the "Sons of Garibaldi" and bets everything on Tony. Gloria Stuart adds a dash of sex. (May) WITHIN THE LAW— M-G-M It's a story of vengeance, with a good new twist in it. Ruth Hussey gets sent to prison for a crime she didn't commit. When released she sets about revenging herself by marrying Turn Neal, sun ui the man who sent her up. Things go awry when she falls in love with the boy. (June) WOMAN DOCTOR— Republic Henry VVilcoxon, Frieda Inescort and Claire Dodd worry through the tangles of love wherein Miss Inescort can't make up her mind whether her duty lies with her husband and child (Sybil Jason) or with other mothers' crippled offspring. Will suit the customers. (April) •jr WUTHERING HEIGHTS— Sam GoldwynUnited Artists No humor has been added to this famous Bronte classic. It introduces Laurence Olivier as the outcast loved by Merle Oberon. But when Merle's desire for jewels leads to her marriage to rich David Niven, hate rules the moors. The fine acting of Miss Oberon and Olivier, the restraint of Niven and the performances of Geraldine Fitzgerald and Flora Robson make this picture a must. (June) *YES, MY DARLING DAUGHTER— Warners Transferred irom the stage, this is meant to be a satire on the freedom and unconventional attitudes of young females of today. Priscilla Lane is the daughter who reacts too completely to her libera mother's advice (Fay Bainter). Jeffrey Lynn is the bewildered young swain who thinks "woman's place is in the home." Very amusing. (April) YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN— Universal The new W. C. Fields-Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy feature is pretty funny. There seems to be no end to the gags this trio can evolve from the circumstance of Fields playing the role of boss of a smalltime circus. Constance Moore, Princess Baba, Arthur Hohl, Mary Forbes and an elephant named Annie are in the cast. (May) YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH MURDER — Warners Once again Humphrey Bogart is the icy-eyed killer; Billy Halop, his little stooge. Like all literary slum kids, Billy has a pure sister. Gale Page, in love with Harvey Stephens, falsely accused of murder. What will Warners do when they run out of U. S. prisons? (April) ZENOBIA— Hal Roach-United Artists In this Harry Langdon replaces Oliver Hardy's old sidekick — Stan Laurel. The main laugh gag is an ailing elephant who is cured by Doctor Hardy's pink pills. Jean Parker, James Ellison. Alice Brady and June Lang a^d to the merriment — or is it confusion?
