Amid all this international finance Nathan Rothschild is not too preoccupied with his moneybags to observe a subplot which Producer Darryl Zanuck is hatching under his nose. His pretty daughter Julie (Loretta Young) has become attached to Wellington's aide. Captain Fitzroy (Robert Young). When his treatment in the matter of the loan convinces Nathan Rothschild that even in England Jews have an inferior social status, he forbids their marriage, sends Julie off to visit her grandmother (Helen Westley) in Frankfort. When he arrives there for a visit, there are riots in the Ghetto, instigated by sulky Baron Ledrantz...
...nursery. The girl (Glenda Farrell) who precedes Bradshaw as "Nellie Nelson" is overfond of inelegant cliches like "So you can't take it." When Bradshaw sits down to write a column, he does it with one sheet of paper in his typewriter. Hi, Nellie is one cut above Darryl Zanuck's feeble Advice to the Lovelorn which it copies, but its only veracity is a performance by Ned Sparks as an embittered legman. Good shot: tiny Sidney Skolsky, Holly-wood columnist for the New York Daily News, making his cinema debut when emerges timidly a nightclub wash room...

Broadway Through a Keyhole shows Crooner Jolson's grounds for fisticuffs were inadequate. The heroine of the picture (Constance Cummings) works at a night club run by a harridan named Tex Kaley (Texas Guinan). Ruby Keeler was once one of Texas Guinan's "little girls...
...Bowery (Twentieth Century). For his first production since leaving Warner Brothers last spring, Darryl Zanuck did what any smart producer might have tried but what very few could have carried off. From the sad look that comes into Wallace Beery's piggish eyes when he examines Jackie Cooper, to the sofa-pillow figure popularized by Mae West. Zanuck put in practically everything that cinema audiences have particularly patronized for the last two years. As a framework, he had Howard Estabrook and James Gleason fabricate a picaresque story about rival saloonkeepers on Manhattan's famed Bowery, just before...
Twentieth Century is the first important new producing company formed in Hollywood in four years. It is a direct result of last spring's bank holiday and the consequent studio shutdown. When all Hollywood employes were on half-salary or less in March, Production Chief Darryl Francis Zanuck of Warner Brothers promised his underlings to restore their pay on the date set by the Cinema Academy...
