Never Give a Sucker an Even Break — Universal If you can take W. C. Fields' brand of hoke in big doses, see this one. The fantastic story has to do with Fields' efforts to sell a script. As producer Franklin Pangborn reads the -whacky script, the action resolves itself on the screen. Gloria Jean, as Fields' niece sings some classics so well they seem out of place in this film which' abounds with slapstick. There's an auto chase that's crazier than any ever filmed. Target for Tonight— Warners This documentary film is a sensational depiction of an actual air raid on Germany by the Royal Air Force. It was produced in the skies over Germanv and German-occupied territory and tells m detail how a raid is planned and executed. There are no professional actors, all parts being played by members of the R.A.F. It shows the preparations made before a raid. Has more thrills than flying films with romantic episodes and Hollywood stars. Gauchos of Eldorado — Republic The Three Mesquiteers (Tom Tyler, Bob Steele, Rule Davis) promise a dying man to deliver S5000 to his long-lost mother. She mistakes Steele for her son; they learn that the S5000 is stolen money and that the mortgage and a gang are trying to get the mother s ranch for themselves, but leave it to the Mesquiteers to track down the outlaws and right things. This has more plot than most W estefns Plenty of riding, shooting, fighting. — THE LIFE AND LOVES OF EXCITING WOMAJ with CONRAD VEIDT • DEAN JAGGER JOHN SHEPPERD • OTTO KRUGER EUGENIE LEONTOVICH Based on a novel by Lady Eleanor Smith .
