REVUETTES of
The Arizona Kid
You'll go expecting another "In Old Arizona." But you won't get it. Like most sequels this fails to arouse the enthusiasm of the first edition. Again Warner Baxter smiles and swaggers in his role of Chico; and as far as Warner is concerned, the film is a success. He cuts a dashing figure as the bandit with the price on his head; though his banditry seems, in this picture, to be confined to heart-stealing. Understandable when you consider that the feminine appeal is divided between Mona Maris and Carol Lombard, two of the prettiest girls on the screen. The blonde Miss Lombard is not quite at home in these outdoor surroundings; but La Maris is vivid and always interesting as the real romance in Chico's colorful career. As so often happens, the authentic scenery and the hardworking players are much better than the prop plot.
The Golden Calf
Or, the quest for the perfect — er — limb. Jack Mulhall plays the artist searching for the comely calf, with Sue Carol as his old-fashioned secretary who finally says: "Surprise, surprise!" The quaint El Brendel and the pert and pretty Marjorie White help make this an entertaining, if light, little film.
The Runaway Bride
Here's a fast-moving melodrama that will never let you down. The plot contains pearls, but it has its unexpected moments as well, and you won't be bored. Mary Astor's patrician beauty and practical talents make the heroine's role more real than usual; while Francis MacDonald and Lloyd Hughes are good.
Strictly Modern
You'll like this nice little romance. Nothing to shout about, but a relief after heavy heart affairs. Dorothy Mackaill is even more charming than ever in the most sympathetic role she has had in a long time; while Sidney Blackmer will make many friends with his half-serious, half-satirical personality.
The Second-Floor Mystery
It may be just another movie, but the presence of the latest leading lovers of Hollywood, Loretta Young and Grant Withers, will lead you to believe it's first-rate entertainment. These youngsters are refreshingly real; and it isn't often you can watch a real romance being enacted for your special benefit.
