THE MATRIMONIAL BED (Warners) LAST here's a chance for Frank Fay to do some of his own stuff. And he's ably assisted by the cast of well known players. Frank plays the part of a man who has been suffering from amnesia for five years. When he comes to his normal senses he finds that he has married again during his period of lost identity and this brings about what are laughingly known as complications. This picture is good for any number of laughs. We strongly advise you to see it — without the kiddies. Lilyan Tashman and James Gleason do right well. SONS OF THE SADDLE (Universal) EN MAYNARD does some swell thrilling work in this, his latest, talkie-Western. The story is typical of the usual Western stories, but it is grade A entertainment. The scene where he rescues the girl from the chuck wagon just before the wagon plunges over the cliff is well done indeed. Maynard enjoys the title of the Singing Cowboy and he lives up to it very well in this one. There are two songs, Trail Herd Song and Dotvn the Home Trail With You. This yarn has everything in it make it good and even if you're not a regular 'Western fan you'll enjoy it. SWEETHEARTS ON PARADE (Columbia) H, HERE is a story in which the heroine decides she's going to marry a millionaire. Then she meets two chaps — one's a suave millionaire (all millionaires are suave in the movies), the other's a tough but noble sailor (all sailors are tough but noble in the movies) . Now you can guess which one she marries. Alice White, no less, plays the pert chick who intends to marry the millionaire. Lloyd Hughes does good work as a Marine and Marie Prevost is with us again as Alice's girlfriend who sees to it that Alice is saved from some what's known as delicate situations. Alice White gives a cute performance. ONE NIGHT AT SUSIE'S (First National) SUSIE runs a hotel for ex-convicts. She puts them on their feet when they come out of jail. The only person she loves in the world is Dick, played by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Dick is the son of a dead convict whom Susie had formerly befriended. Fairbanks falls for a chorus girl and when he brings her home to Susie's, Susie is furious because she thinks the girl will be a bad influence on Fairbanks. Later, the chorus girl kills the producer of her show because he had the nerve to get fresh with her. Then, of course, the fat is in the fire with a vengeance. ihealie hours — consult this department every month 59
