THE CZAR OF BROADWAY (Universal)
'ERE is still another picture about the underworld boss of the city, his favorite dancer, and the honest reporter. The reporter gets into the graces of the boss and falls in love with the boss" girl. His idea being, of course, to get the goods on the boss, for his paper.
It is, however, done very well, with Johnny Harron playing the part of the reporter excellently. Betty Compson is the dancer in the cabaret which is owned by the city boss. Her performance is just about the best thing she's done in the talkies, which is saying a good deal. If you care for newspaper underworld dramas, don't fail to see this.
GREEN STOCKINGS (First National)
FEW things are more diverting and subtly entertaining than an English comedy; and when it is presented by an English cast, it's mighty good stuff. Dorothy Mackaill gives a performance reminiscent of The Crystal Cup, in which she affected very mannish "bachelorette" costumes — until she went out to get her man. Dorothv's elder sister persuades her that she should marry; so Dorothy finally announces her engagement to "Colonel Smith of the British army in Arabia," and writes glowing billets doux that she expects will land in the dead letter office. Then matters become complicated indeed. The dialogue is sophisticated and clever and very enjoyable.
DANGEROUS NAN McGREW (Paramount)
OUR old friend, Helen Kane, boop-boopa-doops back into the limelight again in this highly amusing comedy directed by that swell director, Mai St. Claire. It is a comedy of the Great Northwest and is just about as funny as they come.
There is a cast that will take your breath away, including, besides Helen Kane, James Hall, Stuart Erwin (Axel of Sweetie), Frank Morgan, Victor Moore, and Louise Closser Hale, all well known New York stage stars who put their stuff over in a way that will certainly make you sit up and take notice. Roberta Robinson, an unknown, does well.
THIS MAD WORLD (M G-M)
TRAGEDY stalks in this story of warring nations. Louise Dresser, whose son is a French spy, is forced by the Gerinans to give shelter to Kay Johnson, a Hapsburg princess traveling incognito to meet her German husband behind the lines. When the mother discoveirs that the princess has learned that Basil Rathbone is a spy, she plots with her son to kill Kay, so that she may not betray him to the Germans and prevent his giving valuable information to his own officers.
Realizing her danger, and disappointed by her husband's refusal to see her, the princess deliberately intrigues the spy, which provides some dramatic and thrilling situations.
