Modern Screen (Dec 1934 - Nov 1935)

MODERN SCREEN A: ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (RKO-Radio) Knockout entertainment. If this picture had the star names of "Little Women," I'd be tempted to say that you would like it just as much. The situations in the story will keep you on the edge of your seat all evening, with plenty of laughs to balance the tears. The real treat, though, is the personal hit scored by Anne Shirley. What a performance! This gal is going places. Helen Westley and O. P. Heggie contribute masterful performances and Tom Brown is fine. It is our sincere hope that you will not be scared away from this picture by the lack of big names. If you are, you'll miss one of the best pictures of the year. Anne Shirley and Tom Brown in "Anne of Green Gables." A: THE WHITE PARADE (Fox) An excellent picture. It isn't often you run across a film that is as good as this one. Not only is the story of high interest— centering around a hospital _ and nurses' training school and containing moments of tense drama and sparkling comedy— but Loretta Young turns in a performance that places her right in the front ranks as a finished dramatic actress. She is superb. John Boles is unusually convincing and likeable as the wealthy bachelor who comes into Loretta's life. Jane Darwell as the head nurse is grand, and Dorothy Wilson shines in a tragic role. You'll laugh and weep. C: TRANSATLANTIC MERRY-GOROUND (Reliance) With a cast loaded with star names and a plot into which everything from a musical to a murder mystery has been crowded, this picture remains just so-so entertainment. All the action takes place on a transatlantic liner which is a good spot for committing a murder and also for bringing in plenty of musical entertainment. Along the latter line, the talents of Jack Benny, the Boswell Sisters, Jimmy Grier's orchestra are presented, plus Mitzi Green doing a George Arliss imitation. Gene Raymond and Nancy Carroll provide the love interest and do it mighty well. But in spite of all that, this picture just doesn't jell. Nancy Carroll and Gene Raymond in "Transatlantic-Merry-Go-Round." B: BY YOUR LEAVE (RKO-Radio) Here we have Frank Morgan portraying a middle-aged married man who craves a last fling before settling down to stodgy old age, only to return contentedly to home and wifey. As is to be expected, Morgan gives a grand performance — without him, this picture would have very little to offer. Genevieve Tobin, as the wife, is okay but rather uninteresting, as are Neil Hamilton and Marian Nixon. Gene Lockhart, as Morgan's intoxicated buddy, plays effectively and humorously. But the picture still remains Frank Morgan's and little else. Use your own judgment. Home of the International Correspondence Schools John Boles and Loretta Young in "The White Parade."
