Mahler Co., Inc., Dept. 30M, Providence, R. |0 Tips on Pictures [Continued from page 8] offensive script is believably written and Director Nick Grinde, with a capable cast including Ann Dvorak, Helen Mack, Lola Lane and Ann Doran, forcefully drives home the plight which awaits girls who decide to take to the road. GOLD RUSH MAISIE (M-G-M) — Ann Sothern, continuing in this excellent series, is on her way to a job when she gets stranded in a ghost town in the Arizona desert which suddenly comes to life because of an overnight gold strike. Lee Bowman is a young rancher who turns out to be an iceberg in human form. But Ann thaws him out. The story isn't too good, but Ann, as usual, is marvelous. GRAND OLE OPRY (Republic)— Obviously, this was not made for big city consumption. It's basically rural entertainment, with more hill-billy entertainers in it than you shake a stick at. But it's durned good hayseed hilarity. Featured are the Weaver Brothers and Elviry and a whole host of rustic radio favorites. HOT STEEL (Universal)— Richard Arlen and Andy Devine are a couple of steel workers in this lively melodrama, with Richard working out a formula for better steel that is stolen. A murder follows and Dick is accused. But thanks to Andy the truth comes out and all ends well. Peggy Moran and Anne Nagel have the leading feminine roles. LAMBETH WALK (M-G-M) — It seems a little late to be bringing this one over from England since it is based on the dance which hit its peak over a year ago. Nevertheless, as musical comedies go, it's amusing and when it was made American audiences must have been kept in mind. Lupino Lane heads the cast, playing a race track tout who inherits a fortune. MAN WHO TALKED TOO MUCH (Warners) — George Brent, an assistant district attorney, is responsible for a man getting the chair and then finds out the man was innocent. So George decides to spend the rest of his legal career defending criminals. He's doing it successfully, thanks to shady tricks, until his young brother, Bill Lundigan, tries to get him to go straight. Then the excitement starts. Virginia Bruce and Richard Barthelmess have important assignments and handle them expertly. MARYLAND (20th Century-Fox)— The. story is built around a Steeplechase classic, known as the Maryland Hunt Cup Race. It's all done in Technicolor, which, of course, is always beautiful if your seat isn't too far back. If it is, it's a hindrance rather than a help, because the film seems blurred. Fay Bainter, Walter Brennan, John Payne and Brenda Joyce head the cast, but it's Ben Carter, a negro comic, who wins the laurels. OUT WEST WITH THE PEPPERS (Columbia) — Most interesting part of this otherwise dull picture is the rescue of children from a raft in a treacherous river. This series about the Peppers needs considerable improvement. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (M-G-M) — A costume picture, true enough, but don't let that frighten you away from one of the year's outstanding performances, contributed by Greer Garson. She's one of five daughters of a 19th Century English family whose mother, Mary Boland, is determined they'll all get husbands. The other girls are Maureen O'Sullivan, Ann Rutherford, Marsha Hunt and Heather Angel. Also in the cast, most prominently, too, is Laurence Olivier. A picture not to be missed. SAILOR'S LADY (20th Century-Fox) — Rather disappointing because of a stupid script, and thoughtless direction. Jon Hall is the sailor and Nancy Kelly the lady. They're a young couple who want to get married and have great difficulty doing so. There's a kid star, Bruce Hampton, who's amusing to watch, but the rest of the cast is uninspiring. SCATTERBRAIN (Republic) — Judy Canova, queen of the hill-billies, triumphantly returns to the screen in this rollicking comedy of Hollywood and a director who signs the wrong person for a lead in a picture and then tries to get her out of it until he realizes she's far better than the right girl. Alan Mowbray is ideal as the director. Ruth Donnelly and Eddie Foy, Jr., are among Judy's supporting players. Long live the queen! SOUTH OF PAGO-PAGO (United Artists) — A colorful and exciting story of pearl diving in the South Seas with Jon Hall, Frances Farmer, Victor McLaglen and Olympe Bradna in the leading roles. McLaglen heads a group of pearl thieves, while Hall is head of the natives who finally rebel and give the thugs what's coming to them. The photography is a treat for the eyes, as is Olympe. SPORTING BLOOD (M-G-M) — An interesting story of Virginia horse racing and of a reawakened feud between. two old Southern families with a fine cast including Robert Young, Maureen O'Sullivan, Lewis Stone, William Gargan and Lynne Carver. It's the best racing story to come along this year. THE MAN I MARRIED (20th CenturyFox) — In its original form this was called "I Married A Nazi." It concerns a German-born husband who returns for a visit to his homeland with his American wife and is sc impressed with Hitler's activities he decides to remain much to the displeasure of his wife and eventually his own. Joan Bennett and Francis Lederer have the leads, with Lloyd Nolan, Otto Kruger and Anna Sten lending the main support. 16 Silver Screen
