WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1936 7 What The Newspaper Critics Say: "SUZY" (M-G-M) ". . . Stereotyped entertainment ... A pretty feeble fable and nothing that Harlow, Tone, Grant and Stone can do helps matters much . . ." N. Y. WORLD-TELEGRAM. "The trouble with "Suzy" is that too many authors were put to work on her and all but spoiled the gal before they were through . . . Harlow runs gamut; but some of the high histronics are unbecoming to Jean's type ... In spite of a glittering cast and an elaborate production, the story is mediocre . . ." N. Y. DAILY NEWS. ". . . Spy mystery in which Miss Harlow's performance may be numbered among her Last . . . Tone can be thanked for the few hcnast moments of drama that the film possesses . . ." N. Y. TIMES.

"For Brown fans only . . ." N. Y. DAILY NEWS. "COUNTERFEIT" (Columbia) ". . . Action galore . . .
