TIGER ROSE (warner bros.)
AN established favorite makes a successful talkie debut . in a famous musical extravaganza. While this celluloid edition of one of Flo Ziegfeld's most popular shows may not mean much to those who have seen it in the flesh, it ought to be a great hit with the countless thousands who have not. Bebe Daniels comes through with a startling pleasing voice and does the best work of her career as Rita, the beautiful Mexican senorita. John Boles produces a beautiful voice and screens well, although he is no Douglas Fairbanks when vaulting fences. Perhaps the greatest honors go to the comedians, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woollsey, with their rapid-fire dialogue and comic situations, ably abetted and decorated by Dorothy Lee, an ingenue new to the screen. There are some beautiful sequences in color.
THE beautiful Marion adopts a French accent in her first talkie-singie — and makes good. Miss Davies, who was once on the New York musical comedy stage, capitalizes her experience in this picture. It is a tale of a French peasant girl whose principal occupation is guarding her pigs. She is in love with a poilu and promises him she will wait for him when he goes to the front-. Then the Americans arrive and lead her a merry dance in stealing her pigs for pork.
One of her pigs starts a romance between her and an American doughboy, Larry. Then Marianne's poilu comes back, blinded for life. She decides to forget Larry and dedicate her life to the poilu. But he refuses and enters the priesthood. In the meantime Larry has returned to America. How she finds him again winds up the story.
IN which a stage comedian in a stage play constitutes a great discovery for the talking screen. The screen discovers a remarkable new comedian for the talkies in Harry Green. Kibitzer, which had a year's run on Broadway, is the story of a bluffer and a faker, who, to his great astonishment, suddenly finds one of his bluffs coming true. L. Lazarus, the kibitzer, is the proprietor of a small uptown cigar store. He pretends to be a stock speculator on a large scale. Then one of his investments turns out, and he suddenly finds himself really involved in a gigantic stock manipulation. Mary Brian, as his daughter, and Neil Hamilton as her suitor, capably furnish the love interest, but it is Harry Green, in the title role, who carries off the honors with his comic character study. He is Fanny Brice's brother.
LUPE'S vivid personality in a fitting role at last. Lupe Velez finds a sympathetic role as the half-wild FrenchCanadian girl made famous by Lenore Ulric in the stage play, which was a great hit some years ago. The trouble is that the picture seems a little out of date. Lupe is Tiger Rose, the idol of a Hudson Bay trading post. She is in love with Grant Withers, a young civil engineer, but H. B. Warner, as a frontier doctor who has befriended her, seeks to keep her from eloping with her lover. In the scuffle that follows, the doctor is shot. Withers is accused and complications set in. Lupe gives one of her best characterizations on the screen so far. Withers makes a good hero and Warner scores with his characterization.
