SCORES AT ROXY Week of December 13 "Here's a dandy talkie treatment of Edwin Burke's sophisticated play which caused considerable stir around Broadway last season Constance Bennett, quite delightful in her comeback role (her first talkie — and her voice is grand) plays the young wife. Edmund Lowe — must we say he's simply grand! — is the young husband." Irene Thirer in N. Y. Daily News "In the present picture she (Constance Bennett) appears as an actress of unusual ability, thoroughly charming and possessed of a voice more appealing than most thus far heard .... The film should prove a better than usual attraction. The audience enjoyed it thoroughly." Regina Crewe in N. Y. American "Miss Bennett acquits herself exceedingly well in the lookand-Itstens. To her charm and poise is added the attraction of an effectively low voice and an aptitude for getting over her lines very naturally It's a diverting piece, neatly directed by Paul Stein." Rose Pelswick in N. Y. Evening Journal "The attractive Constance Bennett does remarkably well as the wife who is finally conquered by 'this thing called love,' and Edmund Lowe gives a creditable per/ormance as Robert Collings." N. Y. Telegram " 'This Thing Called Love,' from the stage play by Edwin Burke, lends itself admirably to the talking screen, and it is superbly done by a very good cast headed by Edmund Lowe and Constance Bennett It evokes countless chuckles, particularly on the subject of marriage . . . She (Constance Bennett) is a belter actress today than she was before her retirement." George Gerhard in N. Y. Eve. World CALLED LOVE I' lA with a brilliant cast including Zasu Pitts, Carmelita Qeraghty and Stuart Erwin. Directed by Paul Stein Associate Producer Ralph Block. PATHE ALL MUSIC ALL SOUND ALL DIALOGUE
