Newspaper Opinions "Sunny Side Up" Fox Gaiety, New York AMERICAN — Viewed strictly as a musical comedy presented in the movies instead of •ipon the stage, "Sunny Side Up" holds sufficient distinction to draw approval from the crowds sure to flock to the latest starring vehicle of Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell. DAILY MIRROR—* * * a triumph for lanet * * * story is undistinguished * * • vould be first-class entertainment even without Farrell and Gaynor. With them, it's a knockout. DAILY NEWS— Although its story is slight, and lots of its humor reminiscent of ->ther films, "Sunny Side Up" is destined to be a hit — because it is so beautifully built ip that it has something definite to offer — and it has Janet Gaynor. EVENING JOURNAL—* * * irrepressibly gay and utterly delightful * * * much credit goes to Director David Butler * * * Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell are grand * * * excellent entertainment. * * * EVENING WORLD—* * * Miss Gaynor and Farrell are splendid * * * they manage to croon their numbers with a lot of charm and tunefulness * * * is slightly rowdy * * * another Cinderella thing. * * * GRAPHIC—* * * cleverly built into an artistic picture * * * several of its musical numbers will be among the season's hits. • • • HERALD-TRIBUNE—* * * reasonably tuneful, attractively played and, on the whole, liverting screen musical comedy * * * story is a feeble and generally childish romance. * * * MORNING TELEGRAPH—* * * story :s typical Broadway drivel * * * music is the usual Tin Pan Alley r'^n-trap * i .vith all the snappy traditions of a Broadway musical comedy. POST—* * * the seeing was better than he hearing * * * William Fox has never had been justification for sending East for music makers * * * the story goes badly to pieces toward the end. * * * SUN—* * * will probably fare better in neighborhood houses than on Broadway. For certainly, there is but liitle freshness to commend it a special production. TELEGRAM—* * * Janet Gaynor demonstrates all over again that she is just about the screen's finest and most versatile actress * * * sings her songs pleasantly and unassumingly. * * * WORLD — * * * robust musical extravaganza in which Miss Gaynor and Mr. Farrell step into a new field and find their handsome selves as radiant as ever.
