Saratoga M-G-M / Jean Harlow's last film, and a memorable swan song. This is also a picture of action with the excitement of the race track as background for a romance wherein the heroine must decide whether to follow the dictates of her heart and marry the bookmaker or adhere to a promise to break away from horse racing. Clark Gable has the best suited role in some time, and makes the most of it. Pleasing. Hideaway RKORadio One you can miss without regrets. There is a plot — more's the pity — and it deals with a lazy but good-humored lout who is squatting with his family in a rustic home owned by a former bootlegger. The owner is now a kidnaper or something, and wants to hide out there, but prefers to pay board to the squatter — who gets the hun dred thousand the gang is fighting for Fred Stone and Emma Dunn are wasted. Warners Obviously designed for the second half of a double bill, this mild little film involves the private life of a race-track tout, his wife and her family, and a girl friend who has faith in him to the bitter end. Performances of Barton MacLane, Dick Purcell, Peggy Bates and Charley Foy are adequate. Ann Sheridan proves again that she'll soon be ready for more important roles. Pretty mediocre entertainment, this. Republic John Lodge essays the celebrated chap known as Bulldog Drummond, and provet he isn't the type. Even so, Lodge is better than his story, and so are Victor Jory, Dorothy Mackaill and others in this British film. The expected excitement fails to materialize as the story unfolds a plot involving international war racketeers, mystery airplanes and other engines of death. It sums up as much too-mild melodrama. LOVELY FASHION MODEL REVEALS FIGURE-SECRET 118 lbs. of allure! Divinely slim yet divinely rounded. Nature didn't do it all! Like all smart models, this girl finds that clothes simply will not fit unless she wears a girdle. "My girdles fit perfectly for months!" says Alicia Quigley, famous model, "because I restore the shape by washing my girdle often with pure Ivory Flakes." This "sloppy girdle" with unsightly bulges is the result of too few washings. "Use flakes of pure soap" stores tell me "When I ask salesgirls in fine stores what they mean by pure soap, they always say 'Ivory Flakes'," explains Miss Quigley. "They say Ivory Flakes are the only soap flakes made of pure Ivory Soap that's safe even for a baby's skin. Ivory revives elastic and other fine materials." Alicia gives you washing hints: "Wash girdle in lukewarm Ivory Flakes suds, using soft brush. After rinsing, roll in towel to remove water. Shake and hang up at once! Girdle will be dry by morning— as snug-fitting as if new!" IVORY FLAKES The same girdle . . . itsshape restored overnight when washed with Ivory Flakes. TRADEMARK REG. U. 3. PAT.
