Reviews of the
Jeanette MacDonald, Chevalier, and Genevieve Tobin in "One Hour with You," new Lubitsch musical.
One Hour Wi t h Yo u
Paramount
The perfect spring and summer film-fare! You'll enjoy every minute of the new Maurice Chevalier muscial romance. It is gay, light, deft, and delightful. Moviegoing veterans may remember the silent picture, "The Marriage Circle," in which Ernst Lubitsch directed Monte Blue, Adolphe Menjou, Florence Vidor, and Marie Prevost to such good effect. This is the new, smart, modern version with pleasant tunes and all the latest "Lubitsch touches." And what a chance it gives M'sieur Maurice to be his most spontaneous and charming self! He plays a personable doctor who is practically forced to play cavalier to his beautiful wife's best girl friend. Jeanette MacDonald— at her very best, both vocally and optically — plays the wife, and Genevieve Tobin the friend. The music is by Oscar "Chocolate Soldier" Strauss and Richard Whiting.
Jean Hersholt, Tully Marshall, Jean Harlow and Walter Huston in "The Beast of the City." It's good!
The Beast of the City
Metro-Gold wy n -Mayer
I thought all the Hollywood gangsters had grabbed themselves a handful of cloud long ago, but it seems there was one more big shot left. He was disguised, though, as Jean Hersholt, and that's why he had been getting by. But then Walter Huston became Chief of Police, and, in his usual businesslike manner, cleaned up. So maybe we have seen our last gangster? It's a swell swan-song, this film — glorifying as it does the policeman, and showing up the racketeer. Huston pledges himself to wipe out the baddies, and he makes good — but not before he gives his audience more than their money's worth of thrills. And there is real, down-to-earth drama, too, when the Chief's brother follows Jean Harlow down the ginny-sinny path, but redeems himself in a superbly dramatic finish. Huston is fine. You'll like Wallace Ford. And Jean Harlow, really acting.'
"The Congress Dances" is a gay and charming film with Lilian Harvey, a blonde beauty new to America.

^jgjjx All Europe is buzzing about this picture. You'll want to 'fSgi be able to talk about it, too — and don't miss it when it ^SljSSjL comes to your town. It was made in German, French, and English — and this English version is excellently done. The sheer charm of the piece will enthrall you. Yes, it's a costume picture, but don't think it's heavy and pompous. It sparkles in the Viennese manner, with tunes to match. And it presents to American audiences Miss Lilian Harvey, a perfectly delicious blonde actress who will probably be in Hollywood before the season is over. She plays a little Viennese girl whose charms attract a Russian czar. Here is sex without smirks — here's gaiety, charm, romance, ideal "escape" from our gangster cycle. The cast is perfect, including Conrad Veidt, whose work you know. And you'll be humming those tunes this summer.
