The Courageous Dr. Christian — RKO-Radio The second of the "Dr. Christian" series tells the story of a small town doctor's tireless efforts to help the under-privileged of a shanty town. Jean Hersholt fits the role of the kindly, lovable old physician to a T. Although the film deals mainly with social problems, it has a good share of comedy — supplied by Maude Eburne and Vera Lewis— and Tom Neal, Robert Baldwin and Dorothy Lovett make up the romantic trio of the film. Rancho Grande — Republic This modern western has Gene Autry as a ranch foreman and guardian of its youthful heirs. Unless an irrigation system is completed the ranch will be foreclosed, and Autry makes two of its scatterbrained owners realize its importance before the villain gets in his dirty work. The picture has everything to make Autry fans happy — plenty of Gene's songs and plenty of riding and, of course, Smiley Burnett's standard brand of comedy. Rancho Grande is film's theme song. The Human Monster — Monogram In this horror film, Bela Lugosi, screen's begeyman, plays the dual role of a diabolical doctor who murders to collect on insurance policies of his victims and head of a blind man's home, conducted as a "blind" for his crimes. The gruesome chores are not performed by Lugosi, but by a blind giant who strangles victims and drowns them in a tank before throwing the bodies in the river. It's not the best horror film, but it's good for some chills and thrills. Don't bring the kiddies. Just a Pretty Stranger —in her own Home Town No girl need risk popularity! MUM every day prevents underarm odor— guards charm! PEG couldn't help being envious— they were having such fun, and she was so lonely. So many girls who weren't as pretty as Peg, had dates.
