i6 Photoplay Magazine for April, 1933 • ••enjoy the finer flavor and crispness of Kellogg's PEP Young people know. They dash from one busy hour to the next. They play hard. And work hard. They need spirit and energy. You find they agree on Kellogg's PEP Bran Flakes. Taste PEP. Then you'll know why it is so popular! The famous Kellogg flavor is there. Full. Rich. Tempting. Plus enough bran to be mildly laxative. Every flake is crisp and crackly. Delicious with whole milk or cream. Add tasty variety with sliced fruit or honey. PEP gives all the goodness of health-giving grain. Wheat is nature's storehouse of energy and nourishment. Vitamin B. Proteins. Healthful minerals. Buy these better bran flakes from your grocer. Enjoy a bowlful of PEP every day — at breakfast. And at lunch or supper. Always fresh in the patented WAXTITE bag. Made by Kellogg in Battle Greek. PEP BRANFLAKES *"v '// wffixr I Brief Reviews of Current Pictures CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 NO OTHER WOMAN — RKO-Radio. — Irene Dunne splendid as the abused wife of a newly-rich steel-worker (Charles Bickford) who falls for a blonde (Gwili Andre). Eric Linden good. Not for children. (Feb.) OFFICER 13— Allied.— What happens to a motorcycle cop (Monte Blue) in a politics-ridden force, when he tries to avenge a fellow officer killed by a politically powerful driver. Half hits the mark. (March) PARACHUTE JUMPER— Warners.— Doug Fairbanks, Jr., Bette Davis, and Frank McHugh in crazy but enjoyable attempts at aero-rumrunning and tangles with gangsters (Leo Carrillo). (March) PAST OF MARY HOLMES, THE— RKO-Radio. — Helen MacKellar re-does Louise Dresser's "The Goose Woman," about a half-mad, gin-soaked exopera star involved in a murder mystery. An involved plot, nicely acted. (March) PAYMENT DEFERRED— M-G-M — A grim problem of Nemesis, murder and suicide. Charles Laughton repeats his stage triumph. (Dec.) PENGUIN POOL MURDER, THE— RKORadio. — For the laugh-hungry. Murder in an ayuarium, solved by an elderly school teacher (Edna May Oliver). She's a scream. Jimmy Gleason, Mae Clarke, Don Cook and Bob Armstrong score, too. (Jan.) PHANTOM OF CRESTWOOD, THE— RKORadio. — Diverting but not as "creepy" as the action intended. Karen Morley and Ricardo Cortez head excellent cast. (Dec.) PRIDE OF THE LEGION, THE— Mascot Pictures. — Too much dialogue and too little action. Victor Jory scores and there's Rin-Tin-Tin, Jr. (Dec.) PROSPERITY — M-G-M. — Amusing but not enough so for the Dressler-Moran team. Again the stars are mothers-in-law. Norman Foster and Anita Page play their children. (Jan.) RACING STRAIN, THE— Willis Kent Prod — Wally Reid, Jr., makes an excellent screen debut in a fast-action story youngsters will love. (Feb.) RACKETY RAX— Fox.— Victor McLaglen scoring in a howling burlesque on the college football racket. (Dec.) • RASPUTIN AND THE EMPRESS— M-GM. — All three Barrymores in one film, plus Ralph Morgan and Diana Wynyard, provide a display of personal art rarely exceeded in pictures. Don't miss it. (March) • RED DUST — M-G-M. — Squaring a triangle in the jungle, Clark Gable is grand as a he-man, but Jean Harlow almost outshines him. The climax is gripping and true, the dialogue perfect. (Dec.) RED-HAIRED ALIBI— Tower Prod.— About a girl (Merna Kennedy) innocently involved in beer running and murder and the target of blackmail. Theodore Von Eltz fine as the racketeer. (Jan.) RENEGADES OF THE WEST— RKO-Radio.— A Tom Keene Western with a twist. Rosco Ates does the clowning. (Dec.) -A grand Western! O'Sullivan in top ROBBERS' ROOST— Fox. George O'Brien and Maureen form. (Feb.) ROCKABYE — RKO-Pathe. — Constance Bennett in a mother love story that misses the mark but provides background for the star's charm. Joel McCrea plays opposite her, and Jobyna Howland is a riot as an inebriated mother. (Jan.) SAILOR BE GOOD — RKO-Radio. — Barrelhouse humor features this appearance of Jack Oakie, as a bibulous gob. (March) SCARLET DAWN — Warners. — Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., as refugee Russian noble, Nancy Carroll playing his forgiving peasant wife and Lilyan Tashman portraying the other woman can't make this move. (Dec.) SCARLET RIVER— RKO-Radio.— A so-so "lowdown" on filming Westerns with Tom Keene, Dorothy Wilson, Creighton Chaney, Rosco Ates and Ed Kennedy. (March) SECOND HAND WIFE — Fox. — A slow tempoed Kathleen Norris tale; Helen Vinson the mercenary wife who tosses hubby Ralph Bellamy to the highminded secretary, Sally Eilers.
