THE WRECKER
Columbia
DEVIL'S MATE—
Monogram
HE-MAN Jack Holt, boss of a house-wrecking gang, develops fondness for George Stone, a Jewish junk man, and for Sidney Blackmer, his employee. All prosper; then Sidney turns home-wrecker and steals Jack's wife, Genevieve Tobin. It's pretty sentimental so far — but after the earthquake traps Genevieve and Sidney in a shoddy school building Sidney built, Jack gets he-man again. Average entertainment.
THIS starts out with a murderer himself being murdered in the death chamber just as he is going to the electric chair. Although there is no other situation in the film which can compare with that one, still this mystery thriller will stand up with the run of them. Preston Foster, as the detective, and Peggy Shannon as the newspaper sob-sister who solves the murder mystery, both give creditable performances.
SAVAGE GOLD— Harold Auten Prod.
LIFE IN THE RAWFox
A HAIR-RAISING travel film, showing Commander G. M. Dyott and companions seeking a lost prospector among the Jivaro Indians of the Upper Amazon. Their danger was having their heads cut off and shrunk to the size of oranges (the film shows this being done, by the way, to several heads). If you can stand strong stuff, and like travel pictures, you couldn't ask better than this.
LINGERIE blowing about in a desert windstorm, and a bucking bronc' on the dance floor of a night club, add novelty to this Western. Attractive Claire Trevor, as the tenderfoot sister of a young rancher, gets George O'Brien into plenty of trouble trying to save her erring brother. But George's fast riding and quick wit get all three into the clear. Western addicts won't be sorry they've seen it.

ADVENTURE
—RKO-Radio
EVALYN KNAPP is a sweet young minister's daughter who wins rich playboy John Wayne in marriage — only to have John's crusty papa refuse to see or acknowledge her. Thereupon Evalyn launches a neat flank attack that saves the day. More intelligently written and directed than many of Evalyn's pieces. Good small-time entertainment, well enough acted throughout. Better than a lot of current offerings.
MYSTERY, comedy and romance all in a London fog and the plot's pretty much befogged, as well as the characters. It's a case of Bob Armstrong, an adventuring young American, involved with a gang of crooks, a pretty girl (Helen Mack) and a congenial burglar (Roland Young). They speed from one exciting episode to another.
