THE SQUEALER (Columbia)
t OVERS of underworld tales will find something new in > this picture starring Jack Holt and featuring a big cast of well-known screen names, including young Davey Lee.
Holt, as Charles Hart, uses a real estate business to cover up his profitable and far-reaching bootlegging activities.
A series of killings lead to the conviction of Hart, who later escapes from the penitentiary to seek revenge on his wife and his attorney, portrayed by Matt Moore, whom he suspects as the squealers. He overhears a conversation between the two that convinces him he was wrong, then puts himself "on the spot" that Dorothy may find happiness with Moore.
GRUMPY (Paramount)
CYRIL MAUDE, veteran English thespian beloved by footlight audiences the world over, has come out of retirement long enough to transfer to the screen his most successful stage characterisation. His three-year rest has failed to lessen his audience-appeal.
The story of Grumpy, with Maude in the role of the aged criminal lawyer who hides a big heart and a sense of humor behind a pretended bad temper, is too well known to bear repeating.
Phillips Holmes and Frances Dade, who portray the romantic juvenile leads, were a fine choice for the parts.
FOOTBALL fans the country over will enjoy this picture of campus life in which a big cast of film notables is ably supported by Howard Jones, world-famous gridiron coach, and the members of the 1929 AllAmerican team. Starring honors go to Joan Bennett, with James Hall as her leading man. Joe E. Brown and Stuart Erwin supply most of the laughs.
Joan, as the college president's daughter, saves her dad's job by doffing her glasses, rearranging her hair and donning a more feminine type of attire in order to vamp famous football heroes into the school.
LOVE IN THE ROUGH (M-G-M)
WITH the song numbers plausibly placed and accompanied by action, here is a musical comedy that movie patrons will enjoy. The novelty of Director Charles Reisner's treatment in converting the stage offering, Spring Fever, into a talkie greatly strengthens an already good story.
J. C. Nugent, as the grouchy old business man, is the hit of the show with his nervous, dry wit.
Robert Montgomery, as Kelly, is the clerk who wins the heiress by posing as the head of a big shipping concern. Dorothy Jordan is the young lady in question. Better put this one on your list.
