LAUGHING SINNERS Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer Joan Crawford gets a chance to display her acting ability and she revels in it. Joan starts out as a night-club entertainer but finishes as a Salvation Army worker. The reason for her joining the Army is Neil Hamilton, who jilted her, and the reason for staying is Clark Gable; and they're good reasons for seeing the picture.
FIVE AND TEN Metro-Gold tvyn-Mayer After heading our list as a grand comedienne, Marion Davies goes dramatic on us — but with great success. (All's forgiven, Marion.) She plays a poor, little rich girl who fights to get "her man" from a society girl. Leslie Howard is the man and he's splendid. Richard Bennett and Irene Rich are good — so's the picture.
THE BLACK CAMEL Fox
Charlie Chan is still carrying on! You'll be glad to meet him again in this highly satisfactory mystery drama, involving the murder of a movie star and the mysterious killing of a great director. Warner Oland is again the agreeable Chinese sleuth, uttering epigrams as he tracks down the killer. Sally Eilers is the very pretty ingenue.

ANNABELLE'S AFFAIRS Fox
Here's a thoroughly enjoyable farce — as light, flighty, and frivolous as its lovely heroine, who marries a man with a beard and leaves him eleven hours later! It's a personal triumph for pretty Jeanette MacDonald, who proves herself a comedienne second to none. Victor McLaglen plays the husband — a new role for Vic. With Roland Young.
MURDER BY THE CLOCK
Paramount
Here's your mystery of the month. Guaranteed to give you some spooky moments, even if it never really takes you in. Although the characters are too obvious to be altogether convincing, the sinister atmosphere and sound effects keep you chilly. Lilyan Tashman plays the evil lady of the plot. William Boyd is a good detective.
THE GIRL HABIT
Paramount
Charlie Ruggles bears the weight of a very, very light comedy — and if you don't think that's hard work, you're all wrong. "The Girl Habit" would have made a corking short feature, but as it is the situations are too long drawn out. However, Charlie is really funny. Sue Conroy and Tamara Geva are beautiful support.
