...Ginger (Fox). Following the success of creamy little Shirley Temple, it was inevitable that before long another child actress would pop up in Hollywood. Yet 9-year-old Jane Withers, Fox's latest bid for prepuberty adulation, is all that Hollywood might suppose a popular child actress should not be. Her round irregular face is almost entirely surrounded by a mop of straight black hair. Her snub nose screws up like a Boston bull pup's. Her plumpish figure looks far better in East Side gingham than in dainty drawing-room voile. When so directed...
...Star of Midnight" is a highly amusing and intriguing mystery drama developed much along the lines of Mr. Powell's former sensation "The Thin Man."

Randolph Scott, Claire Dodd, and Helen Westley, Irene Dunne, as the Russian princess, sings "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes;" Ginger Rogers, a Terre Haute Lyda Robert, sings "I'II Be hard to Handle," but Jerome Kern fans will miss "The Touch of Your Hand." Randy Scott, out of the Westerns, makes a fine all-American Newfoundland dog, and Claire Dorr gives another good characterization of all that is base in woman kind. A Mr. Astaire does some excellent dance...
