You Must See” iiily Tribune Margaret Sullavan in a fashion pose taken just prior to her departure to Paris on a honeymoon which was postponed to permit William Wyler to cut the final version of “ The Good Fairy,” which is now playing to enormously satisfied houses all over the United States. * * Feb. i6, 1935 Carl Ldemmle A nniversdry Jubilee TITLE Fool You! NOTE IF you want a new angle on “The Good Fairy,” one that is not in the Press book, use this story. Give it to a feature writer and have him sign the story. You might even go so far as to put a question mark after the title. and that is how this columnist knows what "The Good Fairy" is all about, and desires to warn its readers not to expect any Hans Anderson story or Irish folk lore when you see "The Good Fairy." If I remember rightly, this "Good Fairy" stuck up a philandering beef baron to further the fortunes of a husband who was all a fake. By means of this atrocious fiction, this "good fairy" dangled the beef baron, a cabinet minister, a simple-minded lawyer, and a suspicious and pugnacious waiter in a dangerous love game that threatened to engulf her at any moment. If that is a good fairy, then I'm William Shakespeare, or Ferenc Molnar, or any other guy who makes up such satirical and deceiving titles as "The Good Fairy." (SIGNED) Says Rob Reel, American “REAL TREAT” — Laughs, Tears and Excitement Crowded Into Palace Movie LUISA GINGLEBUSHER is the name. Doesn't sound very romantic, does it? Right-o! But, with Margaret Sullavan undertaking the role of the little orphan asylum waif in "The Good Fairy," those who take the tip of this critic and see the screen play have a real treat in store for them. There's a laugh or a tear in every line. Naturally, too, with Frank Morgan as the eccentric and giddy millionaire roue. What an actor; Any "best" list that doesn't include the name of this splendid performer just isn't complete. As to the story — Miss Sullavan certainly looks beautiful as a bride. The film differs a bit from Ferenc Molnar's stage play. The original production has had many censorship cuts. But you'll enjoy every minute of the action that's left.
