After Tomorrow Fox
A nice, simple tale of every day people. Marian Nixon and Charles Farrell are charming as the lovers whose families are dependent upon them for support, and therefore delay their marriage. The film drags a bit, but director Frank Borzage did a fine job with this sentimental tale. It's Farrell's best part in a long time, proving he can get along without Gaynor.
The Wiser Sex Paramount
Claudette Colbert turns sleuth when she learns that her fiance, Melvyn Douglas, has been framed by racketeers. Claudette disguises herself in a blonde wig and goes after her prey, Lilyan Tashman and William Boyd. Nothing new or exciting about this yarn. Lil Tashman steals the scenes she's in. Nice acting all around, however.
The Lost Squadron RKO
Here's something different in air pictures! The aviators were war buddies and are now stunt fliers in a motion picture. Eric Von Stroheim plays a thrill-mad director. Excellent acting by Richard Dix, Von Stroheim, Robert Armstrong, and Joel McCrea. The girls are Dorothy Jordan and Mary Astor. Dix faces keen competition but scores, nevertheless.

Impatient Maiden Universal
This one had a nice idea to start out with but something happened. Lew Ayres, as a young interne, and Mae Clarke are in love, but financial difficulties prevent them from marrying. Their problem is interesting until Mae's "on the make" employer steps in. Una Merkel and Andy Devine provide laughs. You'll like Mae and Lew — a grand love team.
Hotel Continental Tiffany
A crook drama in a hotel setting. The action takes place the night before the hotel is to be razed. There's gold hidden in them thar rooms and Theodore Von Eltz wants it, but so does Peggy Shannon. Who wins? The law, of course. But we leave Peggy and Theodore in a clinch. Rockliffe Fellows and Ethel Clayton have minor roles. It's entertaining.
Strangers in Love Paramount
Fredric March in another dual role; he plays twins — one nasty, one nice. The nice brother is an outcast. The bad brother dies, so the entire film deals amusingly and lightly with the nice brother trying to impersonate his kin. March and Stuart Erwin are grand, and Kay Francis is a gorgeous heroine. It's good fun! Stuart Erwin is real star material.
