TALKIIMG
THEY HAD TO SEE PARIS (fox)
WILL ROGER'S famous laugh-provoking drawl is heard for the first time on the screen with remarkable success. So great a boon are the talkies to Will Rogers that they might have been designed and developed for his very special benefit. In the good old days of the silent films, movie acting was about the least of his accomplishments. Now, with the talkies to bring his voice before the audience, it has become by far his greatest.
The most competent and screen's latest sound
In his new picture Will rises triumphantly to the occasion and puts over gag after gag with amazing success.
Will is the head of one of those suddenly-rich families. His wife, Irene Rich, decides that the family needs culture. Will is opposed to it (you just knew he would be) but what can he do? Wifie and family set sail for the shores of France. There is nothing for poor Will to do but go along.
And, in Paris, they set out on a wild hunt for titles and refinement. Every member of the family gets into difficulties in the French capital. But these difliculties are as nothing compared to what happens to Will.
For he, of all people, goes and falls madly in love with a little French dancer, Claudine, played very well by Fifi d'Orsay. Imagine Will barging around in the dainty apartment of the very French Claudine. And when his wife comes along — well, some new heights in humor are reached.
RED HOT RHYTHM (pathe)
RHYTHM and romance rehashed — but better than ever. This is another tale of how folks live and love in Tin Pan Alley, in line with the current craze for giving us pictures about people who will sit down and give us a "song at the slightest excuse. This one is more natural and a little funnier than most of them, howevet. Alan Hale has a weakness for women but none for work. He would rather exploit people who think they can write songs than use his native ability to write one himself. Kathryn Crawford, who is pleasing to look at and has a nice voice as well, is a singer in a cabaret who guides our hero's weakness for women in the right direction and gives him one for work. Ilka Chase has the funniest bit in the picture as a wealthy would-be song writer who insists on rendering her own composition, The Night That Elmer Died. There are some nifty ditties by Walter O'Keefe, who also plays a part in the picture.
HIS GLORIOUS NIGHT rw-c-w;
N officer and a princess — the officer being the screen's _ _ famous heart-breaker. John Gilbert is again cast in one of these romantic European plays that seem to become him so well. This time he has a new leading lady, Catherine Dale Owen, borrowed from the stage. The picture concerns the love of a Princess for a dashing officer who is of common parentage. Gilbert, needless to say, is the dashing officer. Dazzled by his uniform, she forgets his lowly birth until he reminds her that his father is a shoemaker. Irritated, she spurns him. He further angers her by posing as a crook, but in the end she is forced to admit the love which she has always had for him. A very continental romance, highly decorated with lace, gold braid, and bon mots. All in all, it's Gilbert doing the gaudy stuff at which he's a master, and well worth while according to our way of thinking.
