...Baroness and the Butler" should have been even better, for the cast--Annabella, William Powell, Helen Westley, Henry Stephenson--and sets are considerably better. But banal treatment, poor direction, and a too melodramatic climax, rob the picture of much of its appeal. Shown together, however, the two films make a good double bill, being less similar and probably more entertaining, than this review would indicate...

...Lombardo, Donald Duck, and Annabella combine to make this week's show at Keith's the best we have seen in lo! these many moons. The Royal Canadians are the big attraction, and rightly so. Giving generously of their wares, they occupy a very pleasant hour with some fifteen numbers including "Ten Pretty Girls," "Whistle While You Work," and "Tippy Tin." Morover, they add finishing touches to the vaudeville numbers, and, except when they enter the vocal realm, go over with a resounding bang.

...Annabella is the principal star in "Dinner at the Ritz," and not one in a thousand will disagree with the statement that no matter how unfortunate the picture, she still appears beautiful. The English have considerable in Annabella, but since "Wings of the Morning" they have found nothing decent in which to cast her. It is disturbing to see her as three different women,--as a Spanish marquesa, an Indian princess, and a petite French blonde (which part seems most natural); it is more disturbing to have her moved from Paris to Monte Carlo to the yacht "Seagull" to Pringle...
