Down the path from her bungalow one day last week skipped Bride Susie wearing a kimono. Groom and preacher, naked, came up another path merrily singing to other colonists, "Won't you come and join us?" A young painter with a Van Dyke beard and some young women in slippers answered their call. So did others less adorned. Cheerfully the witnesses ranged themselves around. Susie slipped off her kimono but kept hold of her bouquet. Preacher Irvine mounted a box. Bride & groom exchanged their vows in the sight of Nature and a camera...
William S. Van Dyke (Trader Horn, White Shadows of the South Seas, Tarzau the Ape Man, The Prizefighter and the Lady), is the director whom Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer assigns regularly to nature stories or, by analogy, pictures with leading men like Johnny Weissmuller or Max Baer. For Eskimo, he and a staff of 42 assistants including Chef Emile Ottinger of Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel spent $1.500,000 and nine months on location at Teller, Alaska, 100 mi. below the Arctic Circle. Less courageous than they appear to be in the picture, the Eskimo extras whom Van Dyke hired...
Principal difficulty in making Eskimo were the three hunting scenes. The seasons for whale, walrus and caribou are the same but Alaskan Eskimos hunt them in different places. Director Van Dyke hustled from one hunting ground to another by plane. Mala is an Eskimo but not a wild one.

First thing Dr. Einstein did was stroll hatless down Princeton's Nassau (main) St., enter a 5?-&-10? store to buy a comb and scissors. Then he bought two newspapers, listened attentively and smoked his pipe while his associate, Dr. Walther Mayer, translated the news aloud. Next morning the Press assembled, at the invitation of Princeton's publicity department, for photographs. At length it was announced that Dr. Einstein...
...another gangster, rival to Gazotti, named Jim Crelliman (C. Henry Gordon). Lawyer Durant brings him to justice, forms what looks like a lasting attachment with the sleek underworld girl (Myrna Loy) who helps him. Adapted from a story by Arthur Somers Roche and ably directed by William S. Van Dyke-whose specialty heretofore has been wild animal pictures- Penthouse is good, straightforward Metro-Goldwyn-Mayerdrama, with glass doors and modern furniture. Most exciting shot: one of Crelliman's underlings (George E. Stone) squeaking and wriggling when he gets the third degree. The Passion of Joan of Arc (Soci...
