...Little Miss Broadway, Shirley is a high-spirited orphan always on the point of breaking into a tap routine or a Walter Bullock-Harold Spina song. She is adopted by a lackadaisical Broadway character (Edward Ellis), who runs a seedy hotel for vaudeville actors. After a while, the exuberance of Jimmy Durante and his five-man orchestra get on the nerves of the lady next door (Edna May Oliver). She owns the hotel, but when she tries to evict the vaudevillians she runs up against Shirley. Shirley captivates the old lady by singing Swing Me an Old Fashioned Song...
...went to 100 feet, then. drunkenly, it began to topple to earth. both motors roaring behind up-to-date full-feathering propellers. Queerly it hit, tail and left wing tip scraping the ground first, 1,000 yards beyond the airport. Like a flash experienced Pilot Walter Bullock cut his master switch to prevent fire. For 200 feet the ship furrowed along, straight for a 75-foot canyon, then hit a scrub oak, swung around and stopped.

...wife and camera to Central Africa, trekked 11,000 miles through the jungle. A plotless safari, the Pearson film record lavishes hazy shots of cheetahs, lions, tigers, giraffes, antelopes, elephants, hippopotamuses, assorted naked savages, waving grass. Goriest scenes are young Masai tribesmen sucking up the blood of a dead bullock, black coolies scooping out elephant feet to make wastebaskets for the U.S. market. Cinematic Afrophiles will relish the rare, sleek okapi, a herd of sunbathing hippos, the giant Latukas whose hunters tower seven feet tall, and the mystic snake dance of the Mariari cult...
