On-the-Set Reviews {Continued jrom page 66) with Otto Kruger, anothei distant cousin who is suffering from a mental ailment. It's all very sad, and, after a spell of trying to do right by their respective mates, Helen and Bob settle down and make up for lost time in a cozy cottage on the Cumberland estate. Just crazy enough to be smart, Kruger coaxes his straying bride back home, where she dies of pneumonia, leaving Bob to carry on, confident in the belief that their great love is not ending, but just beginning. May Robson does her usual beautiful job of playing the aged grandmother, and William K. Howard directs the tragic romance. CAPMICE For days, we ESPAOOLE hung around the • outside of the stage PARAMOUNT where Marlene Dietrich was giving her all, dramatically, for "Svengali" Von Sternberg. Here's a tale of a capricious Spanish dancer who adagios herself into men's hearts, breaks up a flock of happy homes, and generally misbehaves herself in a charming and uncensorable manner. Skippity-hopping along the trail of busted hearts, Marlene all of a sudden meets up with Caesar Romero, and . . . Pop! goes her own emotional generator. And serves her right, too. Forlornly reviewing her past escapades, Miss Dietrich sadly renounces the one Great Love of her life, feeling that she's not good enough for the Spanish Big Moment. And, to atone further for her past mistakes, she returns to Lionel Atwill, the man to whom she owes plenty. Which isn't so bad, either, because Atwill has enough money to make it more or less interesting for her. Dietrich never looked better than she does in the colorful Spanish costumes, with hair fancifully arranged and a three-pound comb perched a-top her golden tresses. ROBERTA Randolph Scott thinks • he is in love with RKO another gal, until he meets Irene Dunne, a princess incognito and head designer in his aunt's gown shop. When Randy's first romance arrives in Paris, all set to pick up the tangled threads of a beautiful friendship, Fred Astaire, Scott's pal (and a dancing band leader) and Miss Dunne rig the intruding lady up in a backless, frontless creation. Considering the creation indecent, our hero breaks, once and for all, with the erstwhile girl of his dreams, leaving the field clear for his real love, Irene. Ginger Rogers, an old flame of Astaire's, is dancing at the same night club where Fred's ensemble is "bluing" it, and that, gives the inimitable Mister Astaire a swell chance to repeat on his hot foot-work which thrilled us all in "The Gay Divorcee." There is a gorgeous fashion display that will probably send more than a few husbands and wives home mad at each other; and Miss Dunne warbles sweetly and pleasingly, as of yore. William Seiter, who just can't seem to get away long enough to cover Niagara Falls with his brand new bride, Marian Nixon, directs this successful musical play, written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach. We're giving this one four stars, sight unseen. AND with that, dear patient Public we'll hop off the merry-go-round, peek at a few coming productions, and be back next month to tell you all about it.
