Picture Parade COLLEEN — AAA— Mildly disappointing in view of the great effort expended, this latest Warner Brothers song-and-dance extravaganza will still please certain audiences, though hardly likely to gain new fans for Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Jack Oakie and Joan Blondell, who head the all-star cast. Miss Keeler, \\ho has never failed to score in her solo dance numbers, teams in this picture with Paul Draper, who, though a famous stage dancer, is new to the screen. The result is a bit disappointing. The real high-lights of the picture are the comedy situations handled by Hugh Herbert, Louise Fazenda, Jack Oakie and Joan Blondell. Two very fine song numbers by Dick Powell do much to redeem the film's faults. — Warner Bros. HAVE YOUR FUN WITHOUT A FEAR! Ross Alexander and Anita Louise bring you a light, gay comedy in this picture. Dealing with the life of ordinary people, it tells about the successful wooing and winning of Anita by Ross, a young man who is simply bubbling over with enthusiasm and effervescense. Cast as her parents are Kathleen and Gene Lockhart, who interpret their parts very well. After marrying Anita, Ross has the problem of earning money to confront. Ross, however, goes optimistically about his work. Inventing a new packaging device, he manages to sell his idea successfully. While Ross is going about the business of marketing his idea, he manages to create a hilarious farce of the domestic kind. What produces all the wholesome fun is Ross' basic aversion to work of any sort. You'll enjoy this little comedy. — Warner Bros. (Note! You will find culditional brief reviews of current pictures on page 6) It stays safe— it stays soft— the new Modess. No striking through — as with many ordinary reversible pads. Modess has a specially treated material on sides and back. No chafing — the edges stay dry. Wear blue line on moisture-proof side away from body — and sure protection is yours! End ''accident panic" — ask for Certain-Safe Modess! The Improved Sanitary Pad Try N-O-V-0 — the safe, easy-to-use, douche powder in its new Blue and Silver Box. Cleanses! Deodorises!
