HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BAD ONES DON'T TELL THE WIFE— RKO-Radio DON'T PULL YOUR PUNCHES— Warners A BOONDOGGLE plot with scraps and snatches lifted from the old familiar story of a fake gold mine that miraculously proves a bonanza. Lynne Overman, the promoter and Una Merkel, his wife, turn in simply grand performances while Guy Kibbee, as the innocent buffer, is human and believable. Thurston Hall and Guinn Williams complete the cast. W/AYNE MORRIS, a competent, handsome newcomer, ** wanted love more than he did the heavyweight championship. His benefactor, pug Barton MacLane, gets the fight crown; Morris gets the pug's pretty sister, June Travis, and everybody's happy. Dickie Jones makes an appealing waif. Plenty of action. PARK AVENUE LOGGER— RKO-Radio MAN OF THE PEOPLE— M-G-M THIS entertaining action-packed comedy presents George ' O'Brien in a light, gay role as the careless son of a wealthy lumber magnate who is sent to his father's lumber camp. There O'Brien cleans up a plot against his father, engages in several fights and wins charming Beatrice Roberts. O'Brien's characterization is swell, and Bert Hanlon is very funny. BULLDOG DRUMMOND ESCAPES— Paramount THE subdued and forceful performance of Joseph Calleia, as a ' poor but honest lawyer, lifts this trite story into the realm of impressive entertainment. Calleia, doublecrossed by local politicians, becomes special investigator for the governor. His investigations lose him his sweetheart, Florence Rice, but honesty finally triumphs. DANGEROUS NUMBER— M-G-M I IGHT and entertaining melodrama with Ray Milland moving blithely against a background of deep fog, murders, kidnaping and plotting to the rescue of Heather Angel, held captive by counterfeiters. Plenty of comedy is provided by Reginald Denny and E. E. Clive. You'll like Milland as the debonair Drummond. TRYING desperately hard to be funny, this dull little coun' terfeit of boy meets girl proves a washout Robert Young, a wealthy young man marries Ann Sothern, a brainstorm actress, and finds himself surrounded by second-rate actors and Reginald Owen in a beard.
