Paramount’s Big Special based on story by Anita Loos and play by Miss Loos and John Emerson. Hector Turnbull, Prod. Directed by Malcolm St. Clair. ■ V ■ jm.\ Lorelei: “Oh, Dorothy, it seems that we are a big hit!” Dorothy: “You’re damned right we are, dearie!” Motion Picture News “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” Reviewed by William McCormack West Coast Representative, Motion Picture News LOS ANGELES, November 16.— “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, the Malcolm St. Clair production for Para¬ mount, was previewed this evening at the Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles and came in for hearty rounds of applause. The Anita Loos story of the ultra in gold-diggers has been deftly told by the director in a style fresh, smart and crisp, clicking at welltimed intervals with real laughs. The picture is tiptop entertainment from beginning to end. Ruth Taylor, who has the role of Lorelei, will be hailed as a “find”. Alice White gave an excellent performance and helped the production materially. Ford Sterling, Chester Conklin, Mack Swain, Blanche Frederici, Holmes Herbert and Trixie Friganza all contributed their share in making what looks like one of the comedy hits of the year.
