She has everything. Harry Green will slay you as Jose Lopez Rubenstein , of Buenos Aires, and the comedy of Mitchell and Durant is excellent. B: SHOOT THE WORKS (Paramount) Funny, fast and musical. What? Another comedy ! Yes, this month has given still another and this one, too, is well worth your time and money. Listen to the cast : Jack Oakie as the "Barker" is teamed with the late Dorothy Dell. Roscoe Karns as "the man on the flying trapeze" commits his love-making to Arline Judge (beautiful and clever) which leaves Alison Skipworth and Ben Bernie to wander around without romance. Here are some of the hit tunes that Bernie plays : "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming," "Take A Lesson From The Lark" and "Were Your Ears Burning Baby." B: WE'RE RICH AGAIN (RKO) Funny and batty at once ! Can you imagine Edna May Oliver playing polo? That's the first thing that will throw you in the aisle, and from then on, the whole picture becomes just one aisle-rolling after another. Marian Nixon is her natural self and runs off with plenty of honors, while Billie Burke almost wins the best performance of the year with her characterization of the "dumb mother" in the show. Lots of snappy gags, funny situations galore and grand acting. C: FRIENDS OF MR. SWEENEY (Warners) Among the also rans. Not for many a moon have we been treated to quite so consistently flat a comedy as we were forced to sit through in this film. Most of the fault lies with the writing and direction, for there are yards and yards of what presumes to be comedy that caused not a ripple of a laugh. Charlie Ruggles plays a guy who was a rave in his college days, but who has become a down-trodden wage slave. He is engaged in writing some rather underhanded work for a crooked candidate for governor when an old school pal arrives in town and, by means of a bit too much liquor, manages to bring back Charlie's spirit. He rewrites the article and "saves the nation." C: GRAND CANARY (Fox) Unnecessarily slow and boring. Another "best-seller" bites the dust. Yes, this picture was made from one of the real book hits of recent years and turns out to be one of the slowest movies in months. Warner Baxter, playing a railroaded M.D., does the best he can, as does Madge Evans, but the direction and situation allow them little to do but look sad and woe begone. We warned you ! C: HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (Byron Foy) With moral attached. And a much better job of producing than is usually found in this type of entertainment. Obviously, it concerns a young girl in school—one who has a club woman for a mother — who gets into trouble only to be told by her busy parent that "you are too young for that kind of information." All through the picture wanders a "Professor" who talks with frankness and obstinancy on the subject of "What Every Young Girl Should Be Told." The youngsters, especially Miss Parker, do well with their roles while the older players, Crane Wilbur and Helen MacKellar, are too heavy. C: HIS GREATEST GAMBLE (RKO) Mind-over-matter, or something. This film was perfectly titled, it being the studio's greatest gamble in years. A gamble because it takes Dix out of his usual role and into a heavy, none-too-well explained characterization of a man trying to save his daughter from the terrible power of his wife over her. The wife is altogether too ghastly and the daughter, Erin O'Brien Moore, isn't given much chance to be liked by the audience, because her part is not well written. They Visit New York {Continued from page 85) picture company invited her to make tests. Each time she did she became so nervous, that she'd weep buckets of tears. Naturally, the tests were useless and the gal was out. When Charlie MacArthur heard this, he determined to get some good shots of Whitney Bourne or bust. He called her and said, "Now, you're to play a highly hysterical woman in this story. You must cry all over the place. The more you cry, the better we'll like it. And don't forget it!" Of course, it wasn't true a-tall. Just a MacArthur gag. And the result obtained was perfect. Miss Bourne couldn't squeeze a single salt tear. The cameras ground and she acted and forgot to cry. The test was so good, that she is playing the siren in the picture. Well, there are all ways of crashing the movies and you'll admit that Whitney and Margot certainly picked a couple of unique ones ! And now to get up to the Bronx — and Fay Wray, Ralph Bellamy and "A Woman in the Dark." We haven't seen Miss Wray in a long time; in fact, not since she was being flung around by "King Kong." She's a dramatic actress now, if you please, and has gained in poise accordingly. A very charming manner, an accent which she comes by honestly — the gal's a Canadian, you know — and a sureness that is a little flooring without being the tiniest bit offensive. And beeootiful ! Well, yes. Much more so than on the screen, for she has coloring that is simply exquisite. She's thrilled to be in New York and wishes they'd send for her every six months to make a picture ; that is, provided her handsome writer-husband, John Monk Saunders could be along, too. Everything is so serene with Fay and her mode of living and her career, that she's afraid she isn't what's known in the writing world as "good copy." Ralph Bellamy, looking quite as attractive as the women of America agree he is,
