Constance Cummings and Harold Lloyd in "Movie
Janet Gaynor, George Meeker and Charles Farrell in "The First Year."
REVIEWS-A TOUR
MOVIE CRAZY A bell-ringer for the bespectacled
(Paramount) Harold Lloyd! "Movie Crazy" is a
v ' picture that makes us comedy tans
want more Lloyd pictures. He's the movie-mad guy who comes to Hollywood, meets and falls in love with a "nice" girl who turns out to be a beeg star. You say that smacks of our old friend, "Merton of the Movies" . . . but wait a minute! You're not reckoning with a new personality-plus Lloyd and a whole projection room full of new and hilarious gags. Constance Cummings never looked or acted better than as the Hollywood girl who gets Harold all sort o' panicky. Louise Closser Hale and a swell cast round out a comedy you'd better see.
THE FIRST Gaynor and Farrell are the young
Year couple who find that the first year of
,p . marriage holds enough pitfalls for a
Vox) lifetime. It's interesting to note that
Mrs. Farrell's son Charles is breaking out with a case of good acting, a malady he hasn't had for a long time.
The family circle is completed by the bride's father (Robert McWade), mother (Maude Eburne), uncle (Dudley Digges) and Hattie, maid by proxy, (Leila Bennett). The dinner sequence where Miss Bennett presides is among the funniest.
Janet and Charlie leap over those first year pitfalls and everything is roses and hyacinth. Take the family.
TWO AGAINST THE WORLD (Warner Bros.)
Constance Bennett plays the daughter of wealth who must sacrifice her good name to save her brother's life. Knowing that it was her married sister who was involved with the murdered man, Connie must mount the witness stand and blacken her own character to save her brother's life on the plea of "the unwritten law."
Strangely enough, the man she loves (Neil Hamilton) must act as the prosecuting attorney at the trial. With the brother's acquittal, Miss Bennett and Mr. Hamilton get together for a happy ending.
Hamilton grabs chief acting honors, but Connie's good.
Virginia Bruce and John Gilbert in "Downstairs."
DOWNSTAIRS (M-G-M)
This is another step for John Gilbert up the ladder that leads to his former preeminence — and a new sort of role. John wrote this story of a ruthless chauffeur, who downstairs — in the servants' quar-1 ters — works very smoothly, acquires the cook's bankroll, and starts to make love to Virginia Bruce (you know, his real-life fiancee). Paul Lukas is in it, too. Gilbert gives a most convincing performance.
DOWN TO
EARTH
(Fox)
It's a sequel to but not an equal of "They Had to See Paris." The homely antics of Will Rogers are all in evidence; and Irene Rich is again his socially ambitious wife.
When all the money is gone and they move back to the old home, sonny marries the stenographer he loves, mama is reconciled, and papa is a darned sight happier. Not Will's best. But if you like him, see it.
