They meet in a deserted cabin. From then on. it's everybody's party. John Qualen and Slim Summerville are around. (June) GIRL LOVES BOY— Grand National.— Ancient in theme, treatment and direction, this story of a small-town girl who reforms a local scamp meanders around witlessly. Eric Linden and Cecilia Parker are the bucolic protagonists. Stay away. (June) GIRLOVERBOARD— Universal.— Gloria Stuart. Walter Pidgeon, Billy Burrud and Sidney Blackmer all give nice performances in this unpretentious but satisfyingly pleasant little story of a girl who, when accused of murder, impersonates a "missing person." ( May) • HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE— GB.— British Jessie Mathews' new musical crammed with delightful son?s. Jessie is a poor cabaret dinger with love trouble. Robert Flemyng. Louis Borele and Whitney Bourne do well in supporting roles. (April.) HER HUSBAND LIES— Paramount.— Old-fashioned' melodrama presented in a new-fashioned way by the compelling characterization of Ricardo Cortez as a gambler forced to play against his own brother. Gail Patrick is a treat for the eye as usual. (June) HER HUSBAND'S SECRETARY— Warners — The eternal triangle again with Jean Muir as the trusting ex-secretary wife to Warren Hull and Beverly Roberts as the lying wench who takes her man. Clara Blandick is good as Hull's cynical aunt. Everybody else overacts. (May) • HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT— WangerUnited Artists. — Comedy, romance and melodrama are cunningly interwoven in this sumptuous production. It centers around Jean Arthur's dilemma with her jealous husband (Colin Clive) who frames her with a murder charge, and her tender love story with Samaritan Charles Bover. You'll get a big thrill. (May) • INTERNES CAN'T TAKE MONEY— Paramount.— Tense melodrama of the clinic and bar-room with Joel McCrea in the sacrificial white of a young doctor, and Barbara Stanwyck as the desperate woman seeking a lost child. Villainous Stanley Ridges knows all the answers. £A minor gem. (June) * JIM HANVEY— DETECTIVE-Republic— Portly Guy Kibbee turns sleuth in this mildly amusing comedy mystery interrupting his mania for rabbit catching to tie a lovers knot for Lucie Kaye and Tom Brown by solving a murder. Fair. (June) JOHN MEADE'S WOMAN— Paramount.— Introducing Francine Larrimore as the newest Hollywood star, this is a phony story, dull of dialogue and strained as to action. It involves Edward Arnold too, as the tycoon who marries a farmerette to spite a society jane. No dice. (April.) • LOST T HORIZON— Columbia.— Mtei two years of monumental research and expense, ramea Hilton's tale of a lost Paradise in Tibet. -J: .-J u.. T7 1. /-*„„„. :„ „ ._: u James Hilton s tale of a lost Paradise in Tibet. directed by Frank Capra, is a screen triumph. Ronald Colman distinguishes himself and heads a great cast including Jane Wyatt, H. B. Warner, John Howard, Margo, Sam Jaffee, Isabel Jewell and others. It is spellbinding. (May) • LOVE IS NEWS— 20th Century-Pox.— Gay. impossible, conceived in a new kind of slaphappy humor, this rattles across the screen to the tune of your laughter. Loretta Young and Tyrone Power play a rich-girl-runs-after-poor-rcporter game that is enchanting. Don Ameche is outstanding as the tough editor. See it often. (May) MAMA STEPS OUT— M-G-M.— A blatant and obvious picture that doesn't jell despite Alice Brady's cute tantrums. It's about an American family i> lung culture abroad. They find Ivan I.ebedeff, Go-geiy < .aye and [leather I'lialclicr. Hetty Fumes-! and Stanley Morner are lightly romantic. (April.) MAN OF THE PEOPLE— M-G-M.— This time I eph Calleia's forceful performance is thrown on the nil ol law and ordei and lifts a trite story to ifnpresentertainment. Asa poor lawyer, he uncovers a lol ol kulduggery, implicates his sweetie, Florence Rice. Honesty triurhphs. (April.) • MARKED WOMAN— Warners.— A brutal iii'ln t mi ni "i i Ii i a gangsters and then exploital i women I I on a recenl newspapei Betti Davi re v ital I han ever; Ed i l i bii ii i chilling and! iumphrey a ii" D plendid m m I want to • MAYTIME— M-G-M.— Gay, charming and heart-stirring with a superb musical score, this again teams Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in a beautiful story of love, lost, found and lost. Jeanette is a prima donna; John Barrymore her impresario, and Nelson a student. Rapturous songs, both classical and modern. A "Must." (May.) MURDER GOES TO COLLEGE— Paramount. — The customary detective-reporter-many-suspectsmurder-mystery with a campus background. Lynne Overman and Roscoe Karns supply the comedy; Astrid Allwyn and Marsha Hunt provide the beauty. (May) • NANCY STEELE IS MISSING— 20th CenturyFox. — Victor McLaglen perfectly cast as a waiter who kidnaps the daughter of a munitions manufacturer, then repents. Peter Lorre, Walter Connolly and June Lang contribute superior support to this modern melodrama. (May) NAVY BLUES— Republic— Sailor Dick Purcell makes a bet he can win unattractive librarian Mary Brian. Besides metamorphosizing her into a beauty, winning a promotion and foiling spies, he of course wins the bet. The cast is fair. (June) NOBODY'S BABY — Hal Roach-M-G-M. — A neat little setup for the antics of Patsy Kelly and Lyda Roberti. The girls play student nurses, find themselves romantically inclined toward Bob Armstrong and Lynne Overman It's a panic. (April.) • ON THE AVENUE— 20th Century-Fox.— Here are Irving Berlin's delicious new songs, Madeleine Carroll's pulchritude, Alice Faye's torching, the Ritz Brothers nutsy nonsense, and Dick Powell singing love lilts built around a poor-boy-meets-richgirl angle. A swell dish. (April.)l OUTCAST — Paramount. — A somber and slowmoving account of a doctor's efforts to re-establish himself after an unfortunate operation. Karen Morley intends to expose Warren William, falls in love instead. Lewis Stone saves the pair from the town's fury. (April.)

Patsy Kelly, Rosina Lawrence, Jack Haley and Laurel and Hardy combine their comedy abilities to make this a wowl (May.) PUBLIC WEDDING NO. 1— Warners.— New faces in a slightly used tale of petty racketeers who marry off Jane Wyman to William Hopper in a mock wedding which turns out to be legal. The newcomers are promising; Marie Wilson provides the laughs. {June) RACKETEERS IN EXILE— Columbia.— A family programmer built to high entertainment by George Bancroft's superb impersonation of a racketeer evangelist who finally reforms.
