Elliott Roosevelt and his wife, Actress Faye Emerson, were again determined to "make Christians out of Christmas tree dealers." Last year they undercut upstate New York dealers by selling 20,000 trees from their Val-Kill farm at $1 each. This month, with the price up from 75? to 95? apiece, they will take 50,000 trees to Manhattan, where tree dealers have never spared the customer...
...routine comic framework, Robert Montgomery and Bette Davis have a moderately intelligent script in "June Bride," and that's all they need. Montgomery is an accomplished wisecracker, and on occasion he can make even a standard line something to be remembered.

Looking as fetching as Becky Thatcher grown up, Miss Shearer is also a surprisingly capable actress in this, her first film. She plays the young ballerina and dances the lead in "The Red Shoes" ballet, based on the Hans Anderson tale, and carries off both with more talent and wile than has been seen in a long while...
