THE NEW FILMS IN PICTURES . . . PITHY FACTS TO AID YOUR BOOKING ADVENTURES OF MARCO POLO ... No character in history or fiction has acquired more adventuresome glamour than Marco Polo. It was left to Samuel Goldwyn to film the story of this famous globe-trotting, adventure seeking character. His exploits in love and war in China occupy most of the film version. Support is in the capable hands of Basil Rathbone, Ernest Truex, Alan Hale, George Barbier, H. B. Warner, Binnie Barnes and Sigrid Gurie, the Brooklyn girl who passed herself off as a Scandinavian. It's good fun and fine adventure, according to the critics. THE MAIN EVENT . . . When the heavyweight boxing champ is kidnapped on the night of his big bout, you have the makings of one of those typical Columbia racket melodramas. Robert Paige is the detective, who likes fights and sets out to regain the stolen boxer. Jacqueline Wells is his girlfriend, also nabbed by the snatchers. The twist is in the fact that the pug, himself, engineered the kidnapping to get the dough. GOODBYE BROADWAY . . . You may recognize this as the perennially popular play, SHANNONS OF BROADWAY, for that's the story of GOODBYE BROADWAY. As the couple of exvaudeville troupers, who buy an old hotel and encounter all sorts of headaches with it, Alice Brady and Charlie Winninger have roles that suit them ideally. Universal Studios.
