THE PAINTED VEIL—M-G-M
GARBO is Garbo — forever. And lighted by her magic presence this Somerset Maugham story is distinguished and powerful on the screen. She has seldom been more real or compelling than in the tragic role of the girl who goes with her doctor husband (Herbert Marshall) to China, there realizes a consuming passion for another (George Brent), suffers the heartbreak of his disappointment, and then discovers a love greater than passion for her husband amid a cholera epidemic. Director Richard Boleslawski has captured a tremendous movement and tense realism in his climactic scenes, but in others a vagueness hampers the film's meaning. Marshall is as polished as usual. Brent plays his scenes convincingly and with warmth. Jean Hersholt, Forrester Harvev and Cecilia Parker distinctive in small roles.

THE WHITE PARADE— Fox
BLESSED with fine acting and superb direction, here is a picture you'll long remember. Against a hospital background which is at all times genuine and human are portrayed the good times, the bad times, the dreams and ideals of a group of girls in nurses training. Loretta Young, giving the best performance in her career, stands out in the group.
A Cinderella love story threads through the picture, with John Boles, wealthy play-boy, as the Prince Charming and Miss Young his desired. Jane Darwell, as the soft-hearted head nurse who must be stern, is outstanding. The entire supporting cast, particularly Sara Haden, Muriel Kirkland and Dorothy Wilson, is excellent.
It's a beautiful, a heart-stirring picture which keeps you trembling between tears and laughter.

KID MILLIONS— Samuel GoldwynUnited Artists
HERE is a hit and a long run picture — a Cantor extravaganza complete with hilarious situations, gorgeous settings, catchy tunes and a grand cast.
Eddie, a poor and homeless lad, learns he has inherited from his father a treasure worth millions which he must go to Egypt to collect. Sailing on the same boat are torch singer Ethel Merman, posing as his long-lost mother; her thug boy-friend, Warren Hymer, pretending to be his Uncle Louie; and Berton Churchill, unscrupulous Southern gentleman, all planning to cheat Eddie out of the fortune. The attempts to bump him off on shipboard are hilariously unsuccessful.
Once in Egypt things happen fast and funny. Eddie's scenes with Sheikess Eve Sully are side-splitting.
Eventually Eddie (now Eddie Bey) escapes with the treasure, and returns home keeping his promise to all the poor children in the neighborhood to build them an ice cream factory. The final sequence, with the youngsters making merry in the ice cream plant, is in Technicolor, and you've never seen anything lovelier on the screen. It's truly an inspired wind-up.
The love songs in the picture are sung by Ann Sothern and George Murphy, as sweet-singing a twosome as you've ever heard. " Kid Millions" is an earful and an eyeful, and you'll be humming the tunes and repeating the gags for days.
