GOLDIE SURE OWNS A HEARTY APPETITE Harry Richman Hands Out Some Pretty Tuneful Entertainment, as Well as Some Comedy, in His First Talker. BY W ALTER D. HICKMAN GOLDIE DEVERE is one “gai” in the show business who believes in the motto “ladies must eat.” And Goldie lets you know by look, gesture and words that she is anfirCdYoHnS‘ meet Goldie in “Puttin’ On the Ritz” because she is one of the “hams" in this story of back stage life. Goldie is brought to life by Lilyan Tashman and she does a corking good job in making the character humanr She teams up with James Gleason, who plays an actor, just one of those good straight shootin’ guys who never goes back on his fnendajn other words, James never gets the

big head. Miss Tashman and Gleason hand out most of the comedy nifties in this movie. Glea-

son brings a fine sense of realism to his character. It rings true although there is generally a laugh right around the corner when Gleason and Miss Tashman attempt to be serious. The melody side o. the s t o r y is handled by Hari y Richman and Joan Bennett. Richnr .1 has had enough experience both on the stage and in night clubs to make

Harry Richman

one feel that he is living the character of Harry Raymond, just a song plugger, who was rocketed into Broadway fame, lost his head and nearly ail of his friends and when he lost his sight because of bad hooch, he realizes what a sap he has been. But the happy ending is there because we have the promise from the doctor that Raymond soon will regain his sight. A3 was to be expected, Richman puts his songs over in pleasing fashion. He knows how to handle himself in front of a band and he also knows how to act. After a rather colorless start, Joan Bennett as the fourth “ham suddenly comes to life and gives a performance which proves that she will be a somebody one of these fine days on the talking screen. One pleasing novelty is the scene in which Alice in Wonderland goes through the looking glass, fairyland characters come to We. The musical background f number has the needed tanlalizin., duality. I found Puctin On - £'• to be comfortable, human and tuneful entertainment. It is a g:>o. entertainment buy. Now at Loew's Palace. a a A CLEVER MYSTERY MOVIE ARRIVES HERE At last we have a murder mystery movie with a solution that I feel that nobody can guess. Am speaking of “Murder Will Out,” I can say for it that it has such a kick in it at times that I found myself on the edge of my seat.

I suspicioned one of the characters for most of the dirty work, but the ending really left me quite speechless. And no time is lost in giving the solution to all the “murder.” The story concerns the efforts of a band of Chinese blackmailers to get a huge sum of money out of Leonard Staunton, played by Jack Mulhall. We wit-

ness a man, played by Claud Allister, marked for death by the gang and we see him as the clock ticks away the hour. And at midnight, to the second, the “murder” is pulled off. Others are marked, but our hero escapes his terrible death only when the navy is called into action. About everything is in this mystery melodrama but the kitchen sink. The love element is played by Mulhall and Lila Lee. Some heavy work is done by Noah Beery and

were written especially for It. The one that seemed most prominent is “When the Little Red Roses Get the Blues for You/' although none of them slow the action, and by all means not when Winnie sings them. For she can sing them anywhere and any time, and the punch is always there. Others who help to make this show a laughing success are Edmund Breese, Jack Surtis, Bert Roach and Dorothy Revier. Abe Lyman and his band furnish the music with good results. The color is good throughout and the prize fight scenes have been well handled. Although not as big as “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” this picture holds its own when it ;omes to a lot of fun. Do not expect too much and I do not think you will be disappointed with this one. Short subjects, screen Oddities ! and Newsreel complete the bill. Now at the Apollo. (By Connell Turpen.) B B B AGAIN WE HAVE RICHARD AND LOIS TOGETHER It has been a long time since we have seen Richard Dix and Lois Wilson together on the screen. “Lovin’ the Ladies” gives us the opportunity once again. And that is about all that is truly interesting in this talkie. Taken from an old j comedy, “I Love You,” which Dix ! played on the stage several years ; back, we are given a lot of foolish nothingness, that means nothing : when it is ended. A man makes a bet with another man that he can take any two people of opposite sex, and with the right kind of atmosphere and conditions, can make them fall in love, and become engaged within a month. When the bet is carried out, the atmosphere and the conditions seem to work on the wrong people, and in the wrong directions. Here is an opportunity for a lot of humorous complications, and they are carried out, but it is all so silly, and so improbable. Dix makes love to the wrong girl, and the girl he is supposed to make love to falls in love with the butler. I forgot to say that Dix is the male choice, for the bet. Well anyway after things are in a mess, and he has made love or seemed to make love to all the women in the cast, he plans to elope with Lois, whom he

really loves. But when she discovers about his love making, she tries to run away. Os course Richard stops here, demands that everything be explained to her about the bet. The only thing that saves this talkie, is the good work of Dix. and the interest aroused of seeing Miss Wilson play opposite him again. Dix does his best with the role offered, and makes you like it, because he is there. Fair for those who like to see this young man in action. The stage presentation this week at the Indiana, called “Rivers of The World,” is entertaining because of its beauty in scenic effects, and the snappy way in which it is presented! Good dancing, nice comedy, ; and a lot of pep, make it well worth I while. Worthy and Thompson, do I some real Southern shuffling, with I good results. Allen and Canfield ; are good for several laughs, with | their wise cracks. Good entertainment, with Charlie Davis’ band furnishing the music. Other features are a special pro-
