YOUNG BRIDE (RKO-Pathe)
STOWAWAY (Universal)
Take a nice, sweet girl (Helen Twelvetrees) who marries a four-flushing wiseguy (Eric Linden) who falls for a gold digger (Arline Judge). Mix with this some wisecracks, some pathos and a dash of comedy. Presto ! "Young Bride."
Helen supports her shiftless husband until she simultaneously discovers she's expectant and hubby is stepping out on her. Life doesn't seem worth the struggle. But tragedy is averted when friend husband reforms and gets a steady job.
Fay Wray is a beautiful but good taxi-dancer who j stows away on a freighter between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The First Mate on the ship believes she is ] just another dance-hall lily but his mistaken impression is soon rectified. Beside the subsequent romance, the plot thickens around narcotic smuggling, a murder and a secret service agent incognito.
Leon Waycoff as the First Mate shows himself to be a promising leading man. Fay Wray is gorgeous. You j may have some difficulty in overlooking the plot.
MAN WANTED (Warner Bros.)
AMATEUR DADDY
(Fox)
Herein is a new angle on the boss-secretary love theme, for this time the boss is beautiful, brunette and alluring, and the secretary is a handsome ex-college athlete.
Kay Francis is the magazine editor wife of a society play-boy. Personable David Manners progresses from the job of selling rowing-machines to a glorified secretaryship in the magazine office.
Kenneth Thomson appears as the polo-playing husband, and Una Merkel as the secretary's fiancee who, needless to say, doesn't become his bride.
Warner Baxter merits a better fate than this role of a male Pollyanna, who undertakes the care of four orphaned children out on a California ranch. The naive older sister-mother of the little brood is Marian Nixon, | and she is more surprised than you will be to find herself j in love with her "Daddy Long Legs." Marian is another who should not have been sacrificed to such unconvinc; ing, story-bookish material.
Frankie Darro as the young brother, and David Landau as an old-time Western heavy, are good.
THE BIG
TIMER
(Columbia)
COHENS AND KELLYS IN
HOLLYWOOD (Universal)
A fight yarn with some new twists to its plot and a satisfying cast. Ben Lyon is the prize-fighter whose manager doesn't smoke cigars or wear a derby because she is pretty Constance Cummings, his wife. There is a break in the fighter-manager team when a beautiful society girl (Thelma Todd) falls for the up-and-coming slugger. Dazzled with the attentions of the wealthy miss, he recovers just in time to stave off disaster.
Ben Lyon has done better in recent pictures but he won't entirely disappoint you in this. 50
Perhaps you won't like this as well as previous Cohen and Kelly comedies, with those old favorites, George Sidney and Charlie Murray.
The Kellys have a daughter, June Clyde. The Cohens have a son, Norman Foster. Both families leave their small-town homes to invade Hollywood. Miss Kelly becomes an actress ; young Cohen, a theme-song writer. There is ample opportunity for laughable situations when the two families come to Hollywood. The dialogue is not as amusing as it should have been.
