Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1930)

Photoplay Magazine for April, 1930 SAILOR'S HOLIDAY— Pathe. — Riotously funny account of a sailor on shore leave. (Oct.) SALLY — First National. — The glorious, scintillating dancing of Marilyn Miller, lovely Ziegfeld star, saves this from being merely a dull transcript of an out-moded musical comedy. {March) SALUTE — Fox. — A glorified newsreel about a West Point cadet with a kid brother at Annapolis. {.Oct.) SATURDAY NIGHT KID, THE— Paramount — The old Bow punch has given way to poundage. Jean Arthur steals this picture. (Dec.) SEA FURY — Supreme. — No sense taking this seriously. Regarded as a burlesque in the best Hoboken tradition it's a riot. (Dec.) SECOND CHOICE — Warners. — You won't even make this third choice. A mediocre phonoplay with Dolores Costello, Chester Morris and Edna Murphy. (March) SENOR AMERICANO— Universal.— See this, you fans who are crying for your Westerns. Ken Maynard rides, loves, fights — and sings. (Dec.) • SEVEN DAYS* LEAVE— Paramount.— Barrie'sfine play, "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals," has been tenderly and effectively transferred to the screen. Beryl Mercer and Gary Cooper are splendid. (Feb.) SEVEN FACES — Fox. — Paul Muni gives seven "best performances" in one picture 1 Good entertainment with a novel twist. (Jan.) • SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE— Radio Pictures.— A fine phonoplay version of the old laughter-and-thrill-provoking favorite. Richard Dix again battles the microphone to a knockout finish. (Feb.) SHANGHAI LADY— Universal.— A fiUe de joie and a crook fall in love and each pretends to be a "swell" for the other's benefit. But it's China and there's a menace. Mary Nolan is so beautiful it hurts. (Jan.) SHANNONS OF BROADWAY, THE— Universal.— There's not a comedy team on or off Broadway that can hold a dimmer to the Gleasons — James and Lucille. Actinc and dialogue are gorgeous in this phonoplay. (Jan.) • SHOW OF SHOWS— Warners.— You'll be too busy enjoying yourself to count all the celebs in this super-revue — but they're there — 77 of 'em. And besides there are stunning stage effects and dance routines, gorgeous Technicolor, and millions of laughs. (Feb.) SIDE STREET— Radio Pictures.— No telling what this might have been if not botched by bad recording. As it is, just another underworld yarn. All three of the Moores are in it. (Dec.) SILVER KING, THE— British.— A good silent thriller starring our old friend Percy Marmont. Percy still suffers superbly. Silent. (Nov.) SINS OF THE CRADLE— Goodwill.— Cut your throat before you see this celluloid crime — it'll save time. Its perpetrators ought to be jailed. Sound. (Jan.) SKINNER STEPS OUT— Universal.— None other than "Skinner's Dress Suit" and still good. Glenn Tryon puts it over with a yip. (Jan.) • SKY HAWK, THE— Fox.— Fine war stuff with a charming love interest. Thrilling shots of a Zeppelin raid over London. John Garrick, a newcomer, and Helen Chandler are delightful.as the young iovers. (Feb.) SMILING IRISH EYES— First National. — Brogues, brawls and bunkum, but you'll like Colleen Moore's talkie personality. (Oct.) SONG OF KENTUCKY— Fox— You'll care for Joseph Wagstaff's crooning. And besides there's decorative Lois Moran. (Dec.) SONG OF LOVE, THE— Columbia.— Carbon copy of the yarn used for every vaudevillian who goes ialkie — but Belle Baker rises above it. She's good and so is Ralph Graves. The songs aren't. (Feb.) SO THIS IS COLLEGE— M-C-M.— Reviewed under title "Happy Days." The U. S. C.-Stanford football game in sound is one of life's big moments. Otherwise just another farce that will make real collegians commit hara-kiri. (Nov.) Sport Shoes — look immaculate and clean always, once you've discovered how to revive their original freshness.
