The Strange Case of Clara Deane Paramount
Bring along at least three hankies — how you'll weep at this melodrama! Wynne Gibson suffers right into fame. She's great! Pat O'Brien plays a villain — and what a meanie he is. The story is one of those mother -love tragedies reminiscent of "Madame X" and "The Sin of Madelon Claudet." But Wynne's fine acting is her own brand — you'll like it !
Amateur Daddy Fox
If you like good old-fashioned romance — here's your dish. Marian Nixon is the newest screen Cinderella. When Marian's film father dies he extracts a promise from bachelor Baxter to take care of his four youngsters. There's a nasty villain who wants Marian's ranch because he knows there's oil on the premises. But fear not, Warner Baxter is around. Baxter and Nixon are grand.
Behind the Mask
Columbia
A "horror" melodrama with Jack Holt as a heroic secret service man. Holt gets his man and the girl, Constance Cummings. The story is unbelievable but will hold your interest if you like 'em gruesome. There's a villainous doctor who is the head of a dope ring. You'll see a couple of cold-blooded murders — and Boris Karloff menacing around. A good nerve tonic.

Love Is a Racket
Warners
This exhibit has its moments of excitement, although the story is confusing. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., a trifle too bland, is the newspaper columnist in love with a stage cutie played by Frances Dee. A racketeer is murdered and Doug conceals the traces. But what was Ann Dvorak doing in Doug's apartment, and why was she wasted on such an absurd role? See what I mean by "confusing"?
The Tenderfoot
First National
Here's a new slant on the tenderfoot — this time it's a westerner who's a tenderfoot on Broadway. It's Joe E. Brown's best comedy. See it and hand yourself one big, long laugh. Joe comes to Broadway with twenty thousand dollars and a desire to produce a show. Lew Cody takes the money and makes a producer out of Brown — and then the fun begins! Pretty Ginger Rogers is the heroine.
Sky Bride
Paramount
Thrilling stunt flying and corking comedy! Hooray — Richard Arlen and Jack Oakie are teamed again! Arlen accidentally kills his pal, Tom Douglas, in a plane crash, with the result that Dick loses his nerve. It takes Oakie's best comedy, Virginia Bruce's beauty, and Bobby Coogan's appeal to help him regain his selfconfidence. Arlen and Oakie are okay!
