Screenland (Nov 1935-Apr 1936)

for March 19 36 15 Rose of the Rancho Paramount Gladys Swarthout, beautiful to behold, lovely to listen to when she sings, makes her film debut in a western melodrama done in conventional stage operetta style. She is the Spanish girl who thwarts the landgrabbers of the California of the 1850's. John Boles is the government agent. If you can reconcile the blending of music with hard-riding, fast-shooting action drama you may like this very unique effort. The Passing of the Third Floor Back GaumontBritish Jerome K. Jerome's famous play makes a fine vehicle for the gifted and very intelligent actor, Conrad Veidt, and it also introduces to America a young actress, Rene Ray, whose handling of the climax, in which the slavey confesses her guilt to protect the Stranger from the taunts of the crowd, is a marvelous piece of histrionics. The play is symbolism of an inspired sort. It is a picture that is quite worth seeing. Seven Keys to Baldpate RKORadio Our old friend — this crackling mystery yarn appears here in its second talkie version, and for the fourth time on the screen. Gene Raymond is the novelist who gets into a peck of excitement at the deserted inn, and Margaret Callahan is the girl Gene falls for. Eric Blore, Erin O'Brien Moore, Grant Mitchell and others make it a good cast. This is good for an hour or so of fun and excitement. We're Only Human RKORadio Detectives and gangsters, action and thrills, whoopee! And a fight that has 'em all stopped. Preston Foster, detective, is put on the carpet for "working alone." Then he goes out and cleans up the worst gang in town, single-handed. Jane Wyatt is the lady reporter, Jimmy Gleason the kind of a cop we would love to get arrested by, Christian Rub does a Casper Milquetoast that's swell; Mischa Auer villains.
