Cei«U^_ v^ecw-Jto-y t?L. 8749 SUNSET BLVD. ANTIQUES HOLLYWOOD. CALIF. ART OBJECTS Brief Reviews (Continued from page 6) EXPENSIVE HUSBANDS-Warners Beverly Roberts plays a movie star on the skids in this tiresome pseudo-expose of the Hollywood publicity racket. Patric Knowles is the rundown nobleman whom she first marries, later deserts for her rejuvenated career. You'll see "Expensive Husbands" at the expense of a good evening. {Dec.) • 52ND STREET-Wanger-United Artists This musical saga of America's Montmartre is good entertainment. Scattered throughout the story of an old New York family's rise and fall when their street becomes overrun with speak-easies, are specialty numbers galore. The fine cast includes Ian Hunter, ZaSu Pitts, Leo Carrillo, Maria Shelton and Kenny Baker. (Dec.) FIGHT FOR YOUR LADY-RKO-Radio Add the rowdy comedy of Jack Oakie to the delightful singing of John Boles and you have entertainment plus. Oakie is a fight promoter who guides his charge from a broken romance into a duel, then on to afresh love. Margot Grahame and Ida Lupino are the objects of Mr. Boles' affections. A gay and lively farce. (Dec.) FIRST LADY-Warners Replete with the gay situations and dialogue that characterized the stage play, this satire on Washington intrigue should amuse you. Kay Francis, multigowned as usual, does a brilliant job as the ambitious wife of politician Preston Foster, and Verree Teasdale takes honors as Kay's adversary over the teacups. (Nov.) FIT FOR A KING-RKO-Radio Herewith Joe E. Brown in a "you chase me and I'll chase you" comedy with all the usual Brown antics. Joe is a reporter sent to cover the story of a Kansas-born princess (Helen Mack) who is about to be assassinated. Poor Joe is scooped at every turn. Brown fans will adore every reel. (Dec.) GIRL WITH IDEAS, A-Universal Wendy Barrie wins a newspaper away from Walter Pidgeon by way of a libel suit and the help of Kent Taylor. Such antics can't happen in a well-run news office, but the trio provide many laughs, so who cares? George Barbier as Wendy's pa is a riot. (Jan.) • GOLDWYN FOLLIES, THE-Sam Goldwyn United Artists This incredibly beautiful musical has a dizzy story of Hollywood's original "no" girl (Andrea Leeds) and the producer whom nobody "noes" (Adolphe Menjou). The "Follies" are glorified by Balanchine's lovely American ballet, Metropolitan Helen Jepson's soprano, Phil Baker's wit, Charlie McCarthy's deadly sallies, the Ritz Brothers' clowning, Ella Logan and Kenny Baker's tuneful tuning and the poignant music of George and Ira Gershwin — the whole wrapped in Technicolor. A $2, 000,000 picture you'll never forget. (Feb.) • GREAT GARRICK, THE-Warners Set against the colorful background of the Eighteenth Century, this centers around the personality of England's greatest actor, David Garrick, played by Brian Aherne. The plot involves the efforts of the actors of the Comedie Francaise to make a fool of David by hiring an inn, manning it with their troupe. Olivia De Havilland, as Garrick's lady love, is completely devastating. (Dec.) • HEIDI— 20th Century-Fox A favorite of old and young is this tender little story of an orphan who bring? a new hope into the life of a bitter recluse, and health and happiness to a crippled child. Shirley Temple, more grown-up, still retains her warmth and sweetness; Jean Hersholt, Mady Christians, Mary Nash and Marcia Mae Jones are excellent support. The best Temple picture to date. (Jan.) HIGH FLYERS-RKO-Radio Wheeler and Woolsey's farewell performance as a movie team is one of their gayest pictures. The boys set off in a seaplane" to capture jewel thieves and their mad antics in the air furnish the laughs. Lupe Velez sings several peppy songs. It's fun for the whole family. (Feb.) • HITTING A NEW HIGH-RKO-Radio Lily Pons lifts this none too brilliant comedy to a high level of entertainment. As a cabaret singer with operatic ambitions she coaxes E. E. Horton into thinking she'sa bird girl from Africa. This setup allows Miss Pons to wear exotic costumes, sing both swing songs and classical arias with delicious results. John Howard is her heart trouble. Jack Oakie is around for laughs. (Feb.) • HURRICANE, THE-Sam Goldwyn-United Artists With a wind machine for a star and the Pacific for a set, Director John Ford has concocted a stunning picture of adventure and love among the natives of the South Seas. Newcomer Jon Hall shows ability as well as most of his excellent anatomy; Dorothy Lamour is beautiful as his Island princess; the. star-studded cast includes Raymond Massey, Mary Astor and C. Aubrey Smith. The hurricane is awe-inspiring. You mustn't miss it. (Jan.) LADY FIGHTS BACK, THE-Universal The natural scenic beauty here far surpasses the story of a girl (Irene Hervey) who fights when her People with "go" are always the most popular. Yet the secret of abounding energy is often merely a matter of keeping regular. For tiredness, headaches, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, mental depression can all be caused by constipation.
