Revuettes Are Here To Aid and Abet You in Your Search and Be Guided to the Right Pictures.
Syncopation
Seeing "Syncopation" is like taking in a legitimate play, a musical comedy, and vaudeville— all in one, with a night club entertainment thrown in for good measure. In this film you see and hear Warings' Pennsylvanians, Barbara Bennett, Bobby Watson, Morton Downey, Dorothy Lee and Osgood Perkins. Barbara and Bobby form a ball-room adagio team. Although Bobby is very much in love with his partner, she wearies of the life and leaves Bobby to dance in her own night club, where she flops. The unofficial star of the picture is Morton Downey, who sings and plays the piano excellently. A very enjoyable film.
Molly and Me
This film is of the "Burlesque" and "Excess Baggage" and "Broadway Melody" school. Belle Bennett and Joe E. Brown are tank-town troupers. Belle has a thankless role — the gumchewing wife whose stage talent is mediocre. 'Me' is Joe E. Brown. Alberta Vaughn is piquantly present.
Chinatown Nights
Wally Beery talks his way back to the roles he had before they found out he could be funny, too. As the strong and at times sinister emperor of Chinatown, he talks. So does Florence Vidor, the society woman who falls in love with him. An interesting picture.
Strong Boy
New angle on railroad films! As Ziegfeld would say, it 'glorifies' Lost and Found Department of a big railroad station. Victor McLaglen, Clyde Cook and Slim Somerville are comic glorifiers. Leatrice Joy is the spark igniting the boys' ambition. John Ford directed with many sympathetic human touches.
Shakedown
"Shakedown" has nothing to do with the furnace. It's a prizefighting 'racket' with James Murray as a fake fighter. That is, James really is a fake until he meets Barbara Kent — and Jack Hanlon. Hanlon walks away with the picture. He's a wise-cracking kid with talent. It packs a real punch!
