ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW
SARAH AND SON— Paramount
Here's a "Madame X" with emotional variations. And
it is superbly played by Ruth Chatterton, who wrung your tears so successfully in "Madame X." Most of this mother-love drama concerns Sarah Storm's search for her son. Her ne'er-do-well husband, on leaving her, gave the child to wealthy people — but their identity is unknown to her. As she struggles upward from small time vaudeville player to grand opera prima donna, Sarah's search goes on. Miss Chatterton has developed the characterization into a historic tour de force. It will get you. So, too, will Philippe de Lacy, as the boy.
LOVIN' THE LADIES— RKO
That team of screen sweethearts, Richard Dix and Lois Wilson, is united again in this comedy. A blase young man bets that any fellow can win an heiress if he makes love in the proper romantic environment. An electrician (no other than Mr. Dix) is selected to be the subject. But he captures the bettor's fiancee instead of the haughty young woman selected for the experiment. This is old fashioned stage farce, but Mr. Dix, who is an able farceur, lifts it into pleasant fun. (Mr. Dix, it seems, now is definitely committed to comedy.) Miss Wilson is the girl and Allen Kearns is the man who bets and regrets.
ONLY THE BRAVE— Paramount
This Gary Cooper Civil War adventure in Dixie starts as romantic satire and ends as sentimental romance.
Disappointed in love, Gary goes within the Confederate lines as a spy, to be caught with fake battle plans. He doesn't want to return alive. He is trying desperately to be arrested when he meets Mary Brian, as charming a crinoline flapper as ever changed anyone's plans. Yes, he nearly gets executed as a spy. "Only the Brave" has some gentle thrusts at chivalry, honor and war. Gary is his gaunt, grim, aloof self, Miss Brian is lovely. This is pleasantly entertaining.
YOUNG EAGLES— Paramount
Ever since "Wings," the movie moguls have been seeking an air epic successor for young Buddy Rogers.
This time Buddy plays a daring pilot in love with Mary Gordon, who appears for the moment to be a German spy. But, in the end, Mary turns out to be "the cleverest operator in the United States secret service." There are several breathless air combats with real thrills. Jack Grace, who doubled in the sky for Buddy, stars here. Buddy himself is ingratiating as the daring Lieutenant Banks, pretty Jean Arthur is a pleasant spy and Paul Lukas is adequate as the German flying ace.
HONEY— Paramount
This was once done by Ruth Chatterton on the speaking stage as "Come Out of the Kitchen." Then it was a sentimental little comedy. Now it has been jazzed into a lively comedy with songs. The penniless son and daughter of a Southern colonel lease their ancestral home to a wealthy woman and, when the servants disappear, they remain on as cook and butler, not revealing their identity, of course. This causes all sorts of comic and romantic complications. Nancy Carroll is featured and she gets excellent aid from Lillian Roth, Skeets Gallagher, Harry Green and particularly from Mitzi Green.
