WORKING MAN » *
George Arliss, Bette Davis, Hardie Albright. Direction by John Adolphi. First National.
Because it glorifies the honest virtues in men and women, not through suppressing human weaknesses but through showing the way to overcome them, this light social comedy achieves a pleasant wholesomeness and optimism. Mr. Arliss brings sincerity and humor to the role of a man who extends his success in business to his methods of dealing with the modern generation. The supporting cast is good and maintains a feeling of restraint which is in keeping with the acting of the star.

THE ZOO IN BUDAPEST » »
Gene Raymond. Loretta Young. Direction by Rowland V. Lee. Jesse Lasky Production. Fox. Seen at a theatre preview.
Simply and with telling strokes is etched a very real portrait of an interesting and likable boy. His environment is the zoo, and his unique character is portrayed by his attitude toward the animals for whom he cares and toward the girl whose path crosses his. It is a charming idyl which is climaxed by one of the most thrilling scenes ever pictured. It is excellent entertainment, unusual and original, with unforgetable shots of beasts and birds caught in every mood and in many lovely settings.

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS » *
Jack Bohn, Geraldine Dvorak, Jane Gale,
Charles Judels. Direction by Roy Mack.
Warner Bros.-Vitaphone.
A farcical take-off of “Grand Hotel,” its principal asset being its brevity. Except for several clever impersonations, it is rather a bore throughout. For adults only.
