Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1933)

Photoplay Magazine for November, 1933 '7 • PICTURE SNATCHER— Warners— Jimmy Cagney at his best in a newspaper tale. Jimmy falls for the daughter of a cop who'd sent him up. Sparkling dialogue. (June) • PILGRIMAGE — Fox. — Henrietta Crosman as a mother who loses a son in France. She is completely embittered until she visits France as a Gold Star mother. Poignant, exquisitely done.

And things happen! {June) POIL DE CAROTTE (THE RED HEAD)— Pathe-Natan. — Redhead Robert Lynen splendid as the lonely boy who tries to hang himself. English captions. (Sept.) POWER AND THE GLORY, THE— Fox.— Ralph Morgan relates the life story of his friend the railroad president (Spencer Tracy). Colleen Moore "comes back" in this. Unusual and good. {Sept.) PRIVATE DETECTIVE 62— Warners. — Not-so thrilling thriller with Bill Powell, who was told to frame Margaret Lindsay but married her. (July) • PROFESSIONAL SWEETHEART — RKORadio. — Ginger Rogers in a patchily done but funny skit about a radio "purity girl" who's hot-cha at heart. Fine comic support. (Aug.) • RAFTER ROMANCE — RKO-Radio. — Scrambled plot, but good fun. Two down-andout youngsters (Ginger Rogers and Norman Foster) sent to live in the attic because they can't pay the rent. Unknown to each other, they meet on the outside. Then the fun begins. (Oct.) REBEL, THE — Universal. — Napoleon destroys a Tyrolean home; so the wronged man (Luis Trenker) heads a revolt.

(Sept.) • REUNION IN VIENNA — M-G-M. — John Barrymore, as the exiled Archduke Rudolf, seeks to revive an old romance with Diana Wynyard. Brilliantly gay and naughty; it should delight everyone. (July) SAILOR'S LUCK— Fox.— Riotous "Jack ashore" stuff, but some of the sex is strong. Sally Eilers and Jimmie Dunn. (May) SAMARANG — Zeidman-United Artists. — A finely done travel piece about Malay pearl divers. Stilting shark fights, an octopus; superb native types. (July) SAVAGE GOLD— Harold Auten Prod.— A corking travel film, showing the Jivaro Indians of the upper Amazon. You'll see human heads shrunk to the size of oranges, among other gruesome thrills. (Oct.) SECRET OF THE BLUE ROOM, THE— Universal.— Well-sustained melodrama about a sealed and deadly room. Gloria Stuart, William Janney. Paul Lukas, Onslow Stevens. (Sept.) SHE HAD TO SAY YES— First National — Loretta Young, cloak-and-suit model, must be agreeable to out-of-town buyers. Gets all tangled in its own plot. (.1 ug.) SHRIEK IN THE NIGHT, A— Allied.— In fact plenty of shrieks, with Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot. A well-done, small-time thriller. (June) SILK EXPRESS, THE— Warners.— Good melodrama; crooks try to stop a silk shipment from Japan. Neil Hamilton; fine support. (Aug.) SILVER CORD, THE— RKO-Radio.— Laura Hope Crews as a possessive mother; son Joel McCrea's wife Irene Dunne, and Frances Dee, fiancee of son Eric Linden, rebel. Sparkling but "talky."

SKYWAY — Monogram. — A humdrum thriller about an airplane pilot, played by newcomer Ray Walker. (Oct.) SLEEPLESS NIGHTS— Remington Pictures — The old farce idea of a man and girl supposed to be married, and thrust into bedrooms accordingly; but it's better than most British attempts at humor. (Oct.)
