Picture-Play Magazine (1933)

to the echo for bringing the screen up to date in its portrayal of country life and in putting to death the old-time theatrical conception of people who live beyond the call of Broadway. He has done it even more conclusively here than in the earlier work and the understanding direction of King Vidor places us not only on intimate terms with the characters but conveys the feeling of the soil and the beauty of the farmland. And Mr. Barrymore properly dominates all. He is Grandpa Storr, patriarchal ruler of Storrhaven, who surrenders to the charms of his city-bred granddaughter and ousts his stepchildren before he dies and leaves the girl to carry on the farm as his heiress. Miriam Hopkins plays this role delightfully and Franchot Tone is well cast as the young college-bred farmer with whom she falls in love but will not take from his wife. Unfortunately, limitations of space do not permit the praise due Stuart Envin, Beulah Bondi, and the rest of the perfect cast. "Tarzan the Fearless." Buster Crabbe, Jacqueline Wells, E. Alyn Warren, Edward Woods, Mathew Betz, Philo McCullough, Mischa Auer. Director : Robert Hill. Johnny Weissmuller has waited so long to reappear as Tarzan that Buster Crabbe has beaten him to it. The new jungle story copies the superior Metro-Goldwyn production except that there are perhaps more ropes disguised as accommodating vines for Tarzan's peregrinations. In fact, there are so many of them that you feel no lack of a perfect transportation system in the jungle. Yet I heard an audience cheer Mr. Crabbe's fight with an aged lion and his "escape" from a phony crocodile dragged in the water after him. There was a certain romantic Robinson Crusoe quality in "Tarzan the Ape Man" which is altogether missing here because the picture has been hastily made at the least possible expense, but there is no fault to be found with Mr. Crabbe who, if lacking the dash of Mr. Weissmuller, is perhaps more expressive and is certainly just as Apolloesque, if on a smaller scale. The story doesn't matter and it's too preposterous to recount. DEFEATED I've copied every film star In some manner, looks, or style, And my eyebrows change their angle Every little while; My lips take on new contours With each flicker that I see, Till my boy friend sometimes wonders If it really can be me. My hair has different shadings With each ascending star. And duplicating their hats and gowns Indeed, I've traveled far. But there's one thing I can't master — ■ I'm licked before I begin.
