...mildly interesting to see Wallace Ford, a reporter, catch the villain of the piece, after having summed up the case as a matter of writing to every port in the country and saying. "If you see a man, stop him." It is also interesting to see that Mary Boland is a highly talented tragedienne, and she it is who puts the pathos in a mother's sacrificing her wicked son. But somehow one can't help hoping that she be allowed to return to Charlie Ruggles and comedy...
...Paramount and Fenway Theatres are offering a double bill comprising "Early To Bed," a Charles Ruggles-Mary Boland comedy and "Fatal Lady," starring Mary Ellis and Walter Pidgeon. Not having seen either of these worthy efforts we hesitate to advance too definite an opinion of their merits. It seems fairly obvious, however, that the Ruggles-Boland affair will prove gently diverting and productive of laughs from those who find the comic strip "Mr. and Mrs." a mordant social commentary. With equal likelihood the Ellis-Pidgeon doings will add up to a well-acted romantic involvement...
...masterpiece of comedy that may some day be written about the science of psychoanalysis. Charles Ruggles as Chester Beatty, employe of a glass-eye manufacturer, worries about his subconscious. He walks in his sleep, a secret sorrow which has delayed for 20 years his marriage to Tessie Weeks (Mary Boland). To secure a gigantic glass-eye order from the owner of a doll factory (George Barbier), he takes his bride to a sanatorium where the doll maker is recovering from an odd disease for which the treatment consists of running around barefoot...
Speaker Byrns, Rules Chairman O'Connor, House Leader Bankhead and Whip Boland made every preparation to put the North Dakota firm out of business this time. Representative Boland announced that the Bill would be beaten by at least 50 votes, and Speaker Byrns pooh-poohed self-confidently. On the morning debate began, every Representative received a memorandum from the Farm Credit Administration ripping the Bill from stem to stern. That helped some but House leaders appealed to an even greater political authority. While the Bill was under consideration in Committee of the Whole, Speaker Byrns rose on, the floor...
...from Auntie Bea Lillie's mad antics to Paul Haakon's very impressive modern terpsichore, and including the talented toes of Eleanor Powell and the powerful dusky notes of Ethel Waters. "Jubilee," another Boston opener, is on the grand scale with a nicely turned bit of satire and Mary Boland leading a well rounded cast. "Porgy and Bess," with George Gershwin's excellent score is a modern operatic version of Heyward's striking negro story and a good thing for the more serious. Earl Carroll's "Sketch Book" appeals in Carroll fashion to the more elemental instincts...
