call the name of. Bette Davis is of course, superb but her action becomes rather stereotyped. Henry Fonda failed to impress me. Not a bad picture.
PATHE
"King of Gamblers". (Starring: Tamiroff, Claire Trevor, Lloyd Nolan and Others).
The theme is a slot machine racket. The gangster element is looked after by Tamiroff who excels himself as a ruthless racketeer without hesitation and conscience. Claire Trevor is good. Rather an exciting picture.
EXCELSIOR
"Okay for Sound". (With Flanagan, Allen, Newo, Knox Etc.)
This one contains plenty of fun and frolic. For an afterdinner show with the senses bit typsy, one may even enjoy the show, but to a mind essentially Indian and believing in serious things, the whole thing sounds senseless and slapstick.
NEW EMPIRE
"The Prisoner of Zenda". (Starring: Ronald Colman with Madeleine Carroll, Fairbanks Jnr. Aubrey Smith.) This famous Anthony Pope

situations and clever direction have made the picture an excellent entertainment. Don't miss
it.
REGAL
"His Affair". (Starring: Robert Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, Victor McLaglen and others.)
Barring the excellent climax, several incidents in the story sound familiar. Barbara as the gangster's sister has not much scope for work. Robert Taylor is excellent. McLaglen is just natural. There are plenty of tense moments and enough entertainment in the picture.

Tony Martin, Leah Ray, Joan Davis and Helen West.
ley).
This is a radio drama with music and comedy. There is hardly any story in the whole show. Some songo are good, but there is absolutely no acting in the whole picture. It is all silly and I, for one, didn't like it.
This charming crowd of 'cuties' can be seen any day in Sagar's "Eternal Music" running at the Imperial
Cinema, Bombay.
