Silver Screen (Feb-Oct 1935)

MIMI — Charming. Doug Fairbanks, Jr., and Gertrude Lawrence are the leads in this British film which tells the story (with incidental music) of the opera La Boheme. MURDER MAN— Interesting. A strong plot — that of a man railroading his bitterest enemy to the chair for a crime he himself committed. Spencer Tracy plays the lead — with Harvey Stephens and Virginia Bruce. OLD HOMESTEAD, THE— Amusing. A group of hometown folks go to the big city to broadcast and make a fortune on the air. Some good routine song numbers here. (Mary Carlisle, Dorothy Lee, Lawrence Gray, etc.) OLD MAN RHYTHM— Fair. A musical with a university campus for the background and minus all signs of the Great American Sport — football. There's some excellent comedy, however, and some good songs. (George Barbier, Buddy Rogers, Barbara Kent.) PAGE MISS GLORY — Amusing. From rags to riches you might dub this tale of a chambermaid transformed into an alluring beauty contest winner. (Marion Davies, Patsy Kelly, Dick Powell, Pat O'Brien.) PURSUIT — Good. This has all the action the title implies, with Sally Eilers and Chester Morris chasing madly down to Mexico in order to help a devoted mother retrieve her child from in-law interference. SHANGHAI — Fine. With a superb actor like Chas. Boyer assuming the lead, you needn't worry too much about the plot, which carries out Kipling's idea that East is East and West is West. . . . (Loretta Young.) SHE — Rather unusual. A young scientist and his fiancee travel into the unknown stretches of the Arctic in search of the flame of eternal life. From the novel by H. Rider Haggard. (Randolph Scott, Helen Gahagan, Helen Mack.) SILK HAT KID — Fair. A sob story centering around a night club owned by Paul Kelly, with Lew Ayres acting as his bodyguard and Mae Clarke taking charge of his motherless baby. All ends in sweetness and light ! SMART GIRL — Just so-so. A melodrama dealing with fraudulent stock brokers, and featuring Kent Taylor, Sidney Blackmer, Pinky Tomlin, Gail Patrick and Ida Lupino. Ida is the gal who is so smart. 39 STEPS — Excellent. This murder mystery is a combination of intriguing melodrama and subtle comedy. Made in England, it has Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll in the leading roles.' THUNDER IN THE NIGHT— Good. A diplomatic intrigue, laid in Budapest, with Karen Morley, Paul Cavanagh and Cornelius Keefe etched against the background of the Ship of State. WESTWARD HO — Exciting. A western that both young and old will enjoy, dealing as it does with the romantic Vigilantes (the "G" men of a bye-gone day). (John Wayne, Sheila Mannors, Yakima Canutt.) WITHOUT REGRET— Good. Remember "Interference"— one of the first of the better all-talkie dramas? Well, here it is again with a cast that includes Elissa Landi, Frances Drake, Kent Taylor and Paul Cavanagh. WOMAN WANTED— Fine. An absorbing, fast-paced melodrama in which Joel McCrea, as an attorney, fights for the life of Maureen O'Sullivan, accused of murder. (Lewis Stone, Louis Calhern.)
