BAD SISTER
Universal
Introducing a new star, Sidney Fox. She's something new and fresh — very fresh; you'll like her. She plays a mean little minx in this devitalized movie of Booth Tarkington's novel, "The Flirt" — but her personality is poignant and you'll want to see her again. Bette Davis, another newcomer, and Conrad Nagel are good, too.
LAUGH AND GET RICH
Radio Pictures
If you like pictures about homespun folks, you'll enjoy these family affairs of a boarding-house keeper, Edna Mae Oliver, from hash to high society. The angular Miss Oliver is almost always amusing; and Dorothy Lee as her daughter romances agreeably with Russell Gleason. But by far the best performance is given by Hugh Herbert.
QUICK MILLIONS
Fox
Have just one more racketeer film before you swear off! This happens to be different. It has a strong punch and a somewhat fresh slant. Spencer Tracy is a new thrill as a trucking king amorously involved with two beauties — Marguerite Churchill as a debbie and Sally Eilers as an underworld gal, both splendid. Well worth seeing.

THE SECRET SIX
Metro-Goldtvyn-Mayer
Oh, for the good old days when a movie "Gang" meant Hal Roach's comedy kids! But here's a much better than average gangster film, glorified by Wallace Beery in a grand roystering role, and directed by George Hill with a crisp combination of suspense and satire. Marjorie Rambeau teams with Beery; a great combination.
PARLOR, BEDROOM, AND BATH
Metro-Goldtvyn-Mayer
This is good, old-fashioned, rowdy slapstick, frank and unashamed. We welcome it as a change from too much gang drama. Buster Keaton is really funny as a would-be great lover, especially in his scenes with Charlotte Greenwood. A great cast, including Reginald Denny, Sally Eilers, and Cliff Edwards, help make this comedy a riot.
THE CONQUERING HORDE Paramount
This superbly mounted western, in Paramount's usual lavish style, will please all followers of the outdoor drama. It gives Dick Aden his best western role to date, with Fay Wray as his sweetheart, against a background of the antebellum cattle country. Beautiful scenery. But isn't it about time to give Dick an acting chance?
