THE PUBLIC ENEMY
Warner Brothers
The gangland film to end all gang films! Here's one that will never be topped. It will get you, with its stark realism, its superb acting, its ruthless direction. A new star is born — James Cagney. What an actor! Jean Harlow, sumptuous blonde, assists. Exciting? It's one continual thrill. See it if you're over 21!
DUDE RANCH Paramount
If you're an Oakie enthusiast you'll have a good time; and if you're not, then we're sorry for you. Jack and his pals stage a "wild west" act for the benefit of paying guests at Stuart Erwin's dude ranch — and it turns into the real thing, with lots of laughs. June Collyer is the "beautiful dame" and Mitzi Green helps.
THE PERFECT ALIBI
Radio Pictures
We want to give English-produced pictures every break in the world but we can't go into a rave over this very mild picturization of A. A. Milne's mystery play. It's only moderately interesting. No fault of the actors — C. Aubrey Smith and Robert Lorraine are two of the best, while the heroine, Dorothy Boyd, is competent and attractive.

BIG BUSINESS GIRL
First National
A nice little picture. What happens when a boss falls in love with his secretary — and she is lovely Loretta Young? Frank Albertson is the interference, Ricardo Cortez the boss. Of course, it's all too romantic to be true, but there's a lightness about it that makes for good, mild entertainment. And Loretta is more charming than ever.
THREE ROGUES Fox
The West is having a fling on the screen this month. Here's a land-rush melodrama-with-laughs, all about three bad boys who take a big-brotherly interest in Fay Wray and fight for her rights and her honor. Victor McLaglen. Lew Cody, and Eddie Gribbon are the three ridin', fightin' fools, and small boys of all ages will cheer.
DIVORCE AMONG FRIENDS
Warner Brothers
Just another case of good actors and elaborate trimmings wasted on a weak story. The domestic complications of pretty Irene Delroy and handsome Jimmy Hall get to be a great, big bore to their audience. Lew Cody as an amiable drunk and Natalie Moorhead as a strenuous vamp are too obvious to help much. Don't hurry to catch this.
