Screenland (Nov 1930-Apr 1931)

for February 1931 123 Revuettes Continued from page 6 Oh, for a Man! Fox. Jeanette MacDonald delightful in an opera star role, ' with Reginald Denny providing the masculine interest and providing it very well. One Night at Susie's. First National. An underworld drama saved by the beauty of Billie Dove and the sensitive performance of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. _ Worth seeing if they're two of your favorites. Playboy of Paris. Paramount. Maurice Chevalier in a light-hearted farce. Story no good but what does it matter? When Maurice smiles — the world is happy. * Renegades. Fox. Warner Baxter, Myrna Loy and Noah Beery in a finely-acted, but highly implausible "tale of French legionnaires a la Hollywood. Good fight scenes. Sea Legs. Paramount. An unbelievable plot, set in an unbelievable locale, but through the efforts of Jack Oakie, Harry Green and Lillian Roth, Eugene^ Pallette, and Albert Conti, an amusing film is the result. See America Thirst. Universal. A jazzy satirical burlesque on all the underworld films. Harry Langdon, Slim Sunimerville, and Bessie Love put it over at the box-office. Sin Takes a Holiday. Pathe. Constance Bennett, for the nonce a little stenographer, makes good in business in a big way by marrying her boss, Kenneth MacKenna. Basil Rathbone and Zasu Pitts assist. * The Bat Whispers. United Artists. Mystery thriller with Chester Morris. Una Merkel and William Bakewell. Of course, spooky houses, a fortune involved, and a mysterious menace. * The Cat Creeps. Universal. Whooo! Haunted houses. Midnight. Sturm und Drang. Helen Twelvetrees, Neil Hamilton, Libyan Tashman and Raymond Hackett keep the mystery alive — but why? The Dancers. Fox. Lois Moran, as an English school girl, goes decidedly sophisticated. Plenty of night club background, fights, hangovers, plane flights, but Lois remains a lily pure. * The Girl of the Golden West. First National. Puccini's opera and Belasco's old thriller made into an uninspiring talkie despite the great work of Ann Harding. The Hate Ship. British International. Nearly all the action takes place on a yacht where the polished but sinister host, Jameson Thomas, has the habit of shooting his friends. Good suspense. The Love Trader. Tiffany. Henry B. Walthall is the trading vessel captain with the young wife. Another South Sea romance, with Leatrice Joy, Roland Drew, Barbara Bedford, Chester Conklin and Noah Beery. The Port of Missing Men. Tiffany. Just an average western — with talk, featuring Bob Steele and Al St. John. No _ new story angles. Littk to recommend it. The Pay Off. Radio. Lowell Sherman directing and acting in a crook drama with a weak plot. Marian Nixon, William Janney and Hugh Trevor are Sherman's co-conspirators. Good acting. The Third Alarm. Tiffany. Ye brave fire fighters, two orphan kids, and plenty of real red flames make this a good old melodrama which will prove popular with the youngsters and grown-ups alike. The Utah Kid. Tiffany. A real old-time western with talk. Packs a mean punch, with Rex Lease and Tom Santschi doing the walloping. Of course, the hero's a member of a bandit gang and saves the gal. The Virtuous Sin. Paramount. Story tripe but acting really wonderful. Kay Francis, Walter Huston and Kenneth MacKenna all give ace performances. Tol'able David. Coin m b i a. Richard Cromwell scores a hit in Richard Barthelmess' silent hit of years ago, the old Hergesheimer story of mountain feuds, with resultant disaster and death. * Viennese Nights. Warner Brothers. An all-Technicolor operetta full of fire and romance v ith Vivieme Segal, Alexander Gray, and Walter PLgeon. Beautiful music by Sigmund Romberg. Don't miss it! * * Reviewed in :his issue. Short Features: By Appointment. Paramount. A youngblade broke on New Year's Eve night, with a heavy date with a pretty girl — a good fast comedy with the climax in an Automat restaurant. Cleaning Up. Paramount, Chester Conklin and Mack Swain, two silent favorites, in a slap-stick talkie. As rival street cleaners, they clean up — and how ! Five Minutes from the Station. Warner Brothers. This one of inviting the boss out for dinner while the wife has trouble preparing the meal is pretty thin. Comedy weak. Story stale. Go to Blazes. Universal. Charlie Murray and George Sidney up to their old tricks. Gags are pretty old but the director has crammed this one so full of action that it gets by. A Hollywood Theme Song. Educational. A grand burlesque on the theme song, set in a martial atmosphere. Harry Gribbon leaves his home town to enlist, and bursts into song on no provocation at all. A clever comedy. * One Nutty Night. Pathe. You know this one about the amateur detectives who go to protect a young couple in a haunted house. Old gags, but Robert Carney and Si Wills, the comedians, have a good line. Not So Quiet on the Western Front. British International Pictures, A miniature musical with a bunch of British soldiers hitting it up in a French cabaret. Good clowning.
