Conquest
Shame on H. B. Warner! Not satisfied with deserting his helpless pal down at the foot of the world, he marries his friend's fiancee and tries to do murder with a hatchet! This all-talking South Pole film has a splendid cast: Monte Blue, Warner, Lois Wilson, Tully Marshall and Edmund Breese. But that's all.
The Man Who Cheated Life Tut, tut, tut, Mr. Gonrad Veidt! Why don't you stand up for yourself and refuse to play in such films as this Mephistophelian story of a man who sells his soul for a million gold pieces? Your acting was sincere and moving. But the story was unthinkable. Only recommended as a paradise for pessimists.
Captain Lash
This movie proves Victor McLaglen to be the huskiest actor in Hollywood! McLaglen has the role of head stoker on a steamer. When he's in port, he drinks liquor with his pal Clyde Cook and flies around with a winsome lass of the hoi polloi, until Claire Windsor edges into his horizon. As a passenger on the liner, .she comes below to watch the stoking. Here McLaglen cuts a grand bronze figure when a stoker goes mad and turns on a steam-cock, exposing Claire to a painful death. But McLaglen rescues her and falls for what he thinks is a lily-pure lady. How he gets back to his own lusty level is worth paying to see. All the cast, including Jane Winton, are corking.
At the South Pole
This — the actual record of gallant Captain Scott's tragic dash for the South Pole — should not be overlooked because it covers almost the identical ground Byrd is traversing today. You see the great ice barrier, unimaginably lovely frozen islands, and those amusing comedians — the penguins, en jamille. An inspiring record of a courageous gentleman.
Whirls and Girls
This talking film brings Sennett comedy back to the screen. Harry Gribbon and Andy Clyde play around with a lot of pretty girls. Starting out with the crack: "Henry Peck was known as Henry the Eighth. His wife was the other seveneighths," the picture carries on to a knock-out climax. One of the funniest comedies I ever saw.
