The Perfect Gentleman (M-G-M)
You'll See: Frank Morgan, Cicely Court¬ neidge, Heather Angel, Herbert M undin, Una O’Connor, Richard Waring, Doris Lloyd.
It's About: A scapegoat father who almost ruins his son’s career and marriage by joining a stage show.
Introducing English actress Cicely Courtneidge to the Hollywood screen with a small blare of trumpets and a lot of very hilarious goings-on. Some slap-stick, some drama. Nicely done.
Story concerns a “perfect gentleman” who does little but drink, talk and get into debt and scrapes. Broke, he arrives home just in time to spoil his son’s chance for a church of his own, and for marriage, the son having relied upon the salary he was to have received as vicar. Realizing his mistake, papa returns to London and teams with a second-rate actress who is about to make her debut in class theaters. This, too, seems to slow down the boy’s career, but in the end, everything, includ¬ ing the wedding, comes off in style.
Frank Morgan, playing his usual batty type, is funny only in spots. He might change his tricks once in a while. Cicely Courtneidge is good in her slap-stick mo¬ ments but the dramatic stuff evades her. When Cicely and Frank get going good, it’s dog eat dog, and tliey’ll eat the scenery. Heather Angel as the bride is beautiful and sincere. Flerbert Mundin and Una O’Connor give fine performances. Rich¬ ard Waring, playing John, is awfully oldfashioned.
Your Reviewer Says : See it for laughs. Don’t expect too much.
Frisco Waterfront (Republic)
You'll See: Ben Lyon, Helen Twelvetrees, Rod La Rocque, Russell Hopton, James Burke, Henry Kolker, Barbara Pepper. It's About: A woman ivho finds that hate will sometimes drive a man to success where love has failed.
A better-than-average programmer that brings Rod La Rocque back to American films.
It’s about a woman who loves two men. One returns from war disillusioned, with¬ out ambition. The other has made marked success, meantime, as a newspaper pub¬ lisher. To fire the war veteran to the heights she knows he can attain, the wo¬ man marries the editor and forces him, in the bargain, to use his newspapers to make his former enemy succeed through hate. Together, they make him a candi¬ date for governor. At the polls, a run¬ away truck crashes into both men and kills the new governor. The newspaper man learns of his wife’s true love as he goes under the ether.
Ben Lyon, as the veteran politician, gives a good account of himself. Helen Twelvetrees will surprise you with the honest sincerity of her characterization. We were particularly glad to see Rod La Roque once more. His voice is more than pleasing and we should be seeing him regularly. The cast and direction are good.
Your Reviewer Says: You should find this entertaining.
