Describing the best and greatest of the month's unusual movies Walter Huston, Jimmie Durante, Eugene Pallette, John Mahin and Charles Dorian in "Hell Below." George Arliss and his wife in the latest Arliss film, "The King's Vacation," another delight for his fans. Mae West in "She Done Him Wrong," a highly amusing film that will make many remember her stage success, "Diamond Lil." life work of collecting as many diamonds as possible from as many men who will show interest. You may take your reviewer's word for it that the results are staggering. There is a grand cast in support of Miss West. Noah Beery, Cary Grant, Owen Moore, Marian Marsh and Rochelle Hudson all add considerably to the evening's fun . . . and fun it certainly is. You can be very sure that this picture is something quite new for your movie experiences. A trifle strong for the weak sisters . . . but rare stuff for any who like brisk entertainment with a kick. HELLO EVERYBODY — (Paramount)— There is no getting away from the fact that Kate Smith has one of the most pleasing personalities among present day entertainers on stage, screen or radio. In "Hello Everybody" she has no story at all, or at least, as little as a picture can possibly have, yet she makes much of it and manages to grace the rather trite situations with real importance. Smiling Kate shines, under the direction of William Seiter, as the small town radio star who goes to the big city and makes enough money to come back and save the happiness Ronald Colman and Juliette Compton in "The Masquerader," selected as the best picture of the month. and fortunes of her small town neighbors. A simple but pleasing enough story that wouldn't mean much if our Kate were not the most popular singer on the radio. PRIVATE JONES — (Universal) — Lee Tracy, who during the past few months had advanced to a place near the top of the list, saves "Private Jones" from being just another war picture. Tracy is good for plenty of laughs as the cocky, devil-may-care private who struts through the war with a chip on his shoulder, willing to fight anyone but the Germans. There is a slightly saccharine ending that might have been tragic, but which becomes human, and funny, in the hands of the capable Mr. Tracy. This one should entertain anyone who sees it. HOT PEPPER — (Fox) — Personally, your reviewer liked this story better than any that the famous combination of "Quirt and Flagg" ever had. This time McLaglen appears as a speakeasy owner and Lowe as a slick-article who lives by his wits alone and doesn't have a hard time doing it. The luscious and lively Lupe Velez furnishes the red pepper and ought to be seasoning much to your taste. El Brendel supplies the comedy and the whole show is much more smartly paced than the past McLaglen-Lowe vehicles have been. In case you haven't seen Miss Velez in any of her latest pictures, I would beg to repoi-t that in my opinion, she is The New Movie Magazine, March, 1933 61
