CONSPIRACY (RKO)
HERE is Bessie Love as a bold bad murderess but, of course, with the celebrated heart of gold and she only did it to save her brother.
It's not a bad yarn. All about how Bessie and her brother are out to get a gang who killed their father. The brother casually becomes district attorney with all the ease in the world while Bessie goes right out and gets herself the job of secretary to the chief gangster.
So there you have the beginnings of a good story. In the end a celebrated author gets mixed up in the festivities and all ends happily. But not until plenty has happened.
THE SEA BAT (M-G-M)
'OR those of you who have never heard of the sea bat, let us inform you immediately that it's nothing to do with getting drunk on water. As a matter of fact it's a very lively submarine animal (no product of DT's either) which dashes around gobbling up sponge divers in a most upsetting way.
In this yarn, the boy whom Raquel Torres loves is eaten by the sea bat. And then it becomes a mere matter of plot to have the bat gobble up several others — all of them finding themselves in the same bat, so to speak.
However, taking all in all, this is a good thrilling story
LADIES MUST PLAY (Columbia)
THIS is a pleasant enough program picture in which a broke millionaire agrees to finance his secretary on a husband-catching visit to Newport for a commission.
Of course, millionaires at Newport are as thick as thieves — no, no, thick as flies around a jam pot. So our heroine has no trouble at all in getting attached to two or three of them.
But would you believe it? In the end she actually falls for — no, we won't tell you after all.
It's all a lot of fun, though. Dorothy Sebastian and Natalie Moorhead are both good to look upon and their acting abilities are as compelling and jrtractive as their looks.
SPURS (Universal)
HERE is a peach of a Western with Hoot Gibson and Helen Wright doing some excellent work. Hoot, as Bob Aiertill. is out to find the murderer of one of his former cronies. Later, he discovers diat the murderer is the secret member of a powerful gang.
This doesn't worry Hoot at all, being a Western^ picture hero, and he sets off to get the gang, be it twenty or fifty. The scene where he comes down the precipice is thrilling in the extreme.
Taking a leaf from the war movies and the gang movies, the Westerns now use macliine guns just like all the rest.
