REMARKS
Not as good as the series best, but good enough.
This never got started.
In class spots okay, but generally fair or under.
Not even close to first “Rat” business.
A “B” sleeper with the right exploitation.
Good grosses all along the line.
Nothing exciting, although some critics like it.
Miss Henie is slipping, needs a new angle.
One of the biggest for the company in years.
In the better gross ranks.
New York City opening was sensational.
Nothing exciting, but usually above the average.
It misses.
First remarks hold true, mostly kid business.
Just a programmer.
Good business everywhere.
One of the better grossers.
Despite familiarity of material, the results are not bad.
Holds to the good tradition of the series.
Not enough to tell accurately, but some openings good.
Garbo made a comeback, except in a few small towns.
Gets critical applause.
A lightweight.
Generally disappointing.
One of the better grade programmers.
Just a well-made show that didn’t do the business.
Lubitsch name and star values help.
Sentimental appeal and star names are turning the trick.
Considering the investment, results are not satisfying.
Muni gets a critical hand, but the box office doesn’t show it.
