88 SCREENLAND Critical Comment Our Blushing Brides Three beauties — Joan Crawford, Anita Page, and Dorothy Sebastian, appear here as poor little shop girls pursued by idle rich boys. All three girls are perfectly charming; gowns and sets are lavish; Robert Montgomery plays around — it's all incredible, but always amusing. Common Clay The 1930-31 edition of the little heroine more-sinnedagainst-than-sinning. Constance Bennett, though miscast, gives a good performance. Lew Ayres' charm carries him through. Good, dependable melodrama. Matty Kemp and Beryl Mercer contribute convincing characterizations. Anybody's Woman An unexpected picture! Ruth Chatterton as a hardboiled chorus girl reminiscent of her role in her first film with Jannings, and Clive Brook as the inebriated lawyer whom she marries, depart from their usual suave sophistication and do some brilliant acting. You'll enjoy it. Who says Hollywood can't turn out a quietly intelligent film of a famous stage play and please even the devotees of the original? Cyril Maude gives a delightful performance of his popular role. Phillips Holmes repeats the favorable impression he has made in other pictures. See it. Way Out West At last — a much-needed change for Bill Haines. They sent him out to the wild open spaces which he makes even wilder, and the fun is infectious and practically contin Rain or Shine You'll like Joe Cook. His first film feature is all about circus life with Joe playing a 'Laugh, Clown, Laugh' role. William Collier, Jr., gets the girl, played by Joan Peers. But Joe is a one-man circus; the picture belongs to him. You'll want more Joe Cook comedies.
