Not the most lavish musical, but very entertaining' at that. The plot is better than usual with some good brisk dialogue and hot musical numbers woven in. Jack Oakie, Judith Allen and Skeets Gallagher are members of a small time vaudeville team. Bing Crosby, star of a big New York show, drops in, spots Judith and wants her for his act. She refuses to go unless he takes the other two, so all journey to the big city. Lilyan Tashman is Bing's sweetie and Jack is delegated to vamp her so Bing can devote his time to Judith, with whom he has fallen in love. Oakie consents, although he, too, loves Judith. The biggest thrill of the show is the opening night sequence when Judith gets stage fright and Bing rushes out and sings the song for her. Very well done. S. O. S. ICEBERG (Universal) Beautiful Scenery. For spectacular beauty, the kind found in the ocean regions of the Arctic with its gigantic icebergs, this film rates ace-high. The story and cast are secondary. It concerns a scientist (Rod LaRocque) and his company in Greenland. LaRocque loses his way and almost starves to death in an ice cave. Two of the members meet horrible death in the icy waters, another goes mad and tries to stab his companion, and finally lunges from an iceberg into the sea. At last, one of the party attempts to swim to an Eskimo village to bring help to his companions. The rescue scene is quite exciting. LaRocque, back after a long absence from the screen, is supported adequately by Leni Riefenstahl and Ernst Udet, famous aviator. Worth seeing for its scenery. Children may find it interesting. AGGIE APPLEBY, MAKER OF MEN (RKO) Pretty Good. A funny, rowdy little comedy with such good players as William Gargan, Wynne Gibson, Charles Farrell and Zasu Pitts in the cast. Story is about Aggie (Wynne Gibson), who annexes Charlie Farrell, son of the wealthy Schlumpp family, when her own sweetie Red Branahan (Bill Gargan) gets sent to prison for beating up three coppers. She proceeds to make young Schlumpp into another Branahan, even giving him the name, and then falls in love with him. However, she sticks to the real Branahan . when he gets out of jail. Dialogue is fast, furious and funny. Okay for the youngsters. LOVE, HONOR AND OH BABY! (Universal) Good and Funny. In this latest Zasu Pitts-Slim Summerville comedy, Slim is a young lawyer whose clients usually land behind the bars. He wants to marry Zasu, secretary to a big business man, but hasn't the dough for a license. Because the boss is susceptible to pretty stenos, Zasu, Slim and Zasu's family frame him into a breach of promise suit. This is a riot, particularly the court scene. Slim and Zasu are funny, as usual. George Barbier as the boss, Lucille Webster Gleason, Verree Teasdale and Donald Meek are good. Kids will get a kick out of it and you probably will too. WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD (Warners) Something Different. A touching story of youngsters who are forced out into the world to make their own living when their parents no longer can support them. Frankie Darro and Edwin Phillips, along with other boys and girls, take to the road, go from place to place, hop freight trains, beg and even steal. There are no jobs. Edwin loses a leg, and Frankie gets involved in a robbery and is taken to court. His plea to the judge is splendid and makes a dramatic ending. Grand acting. Send,the kids — it will teach 'em to appreciate home. MIDSHIPMAN JACK (RKO) Okay. It's been a long time since we've had a story of naval cadets. But now Radio comes out with one and it's good. Bruce Cabot plays Austin, an upper classman whose indolence has made him almost a permanent fixture. He falls in love with the commandant's daughter (Betty Furness), sneaks out to meet her and in other ways, gets in bad. However, the loyalty he instills into the younger boys is his redemption. Frank Albertson, Arthur Lake, Purnell Pratt and Florence Lake all give good support. Entertaining, inspiring and all that. Swell for children and grownups alike. TO THE LAST MAN (Paramount) Not So Good. A mild western, even though almost everyone in the picture is killed before it's over. It's the old feud angle. The Colbys and Spelvins have hated each other for years. Esther Ralston, a Colby, and Randolph Scott, a Spelvin, are in love, but are loyal to the old family hate until in a battle royal everyone is killed off except these two. Jack LaRue, Noah Beery, Buster Crabbe and Muriel Kirkland make up the cast. Okay for the very young kids. A CHANCE AT HEAVEN (RKO) Good. A simple, down-to-earth and delightful story, the kind Vina Delmar is so capable of writing, about a young boy and girl in love, but whose matrimonial plans are upset when the rich girl from the city puts in an appearance. Ginger Rogers, Joel McCrea and Marian Nixon make up the triangle. Their swell performances, plus snappy dialogue, makes this pretty good entertainment. You can take the whole family.
