Canada Strongest has nothing whatever to do with a British Dominion or ginger ale. A canada is a Spanish dingle. Canada Strongest is a narrow valley named for a Bolivian soccer team, about 15 mi. northeast of Fort Ballivian in the Gran Chaco. There last week nearly 100,000 men of the armies of Bolivia and Paraguay were concentrated for what each hoped would be the deciding battle of their...
...getting under way, this story of a rich man's troubles contrives a measure of suspense as soon as it introduces a double murder and a man hunt. A railroad tycoon (Warren William), neglected by his ambitious wife (Mary Astor), takes up with an honest little burlesque actress (Ginger Rogers).

After his quiet departure, the job looks like murder and suicide to all but one policeman...
...Change of Heart the triangle becomes a rectangle, with matters complicated accordingly. To Manhattan seeking careers go four young college graduates (Gaynor, Farrell, James Dunn, Ginger Rogers).

Still, all does end happily, and we clinch in the living room of our rich benefactor, just overcome with the prospect of a little white cottage...
Pert, red-haired Ginger Rogers (Virginia McMath ), 23, has been dancing nimbly and singing huskily since she won a Charleston contest in Texas at 16. In vaudeville she called herself "The Original John Held Jr. Girl" although she had never met or posed for that artist. Playing on Broadway in Top Speed and Girl Crazy, she got a cinema contract because Hollywood liked the way she kept repeating "Cigaret me, big boy!" in Young Man of Manhattan. She plays expert ping-pong, likes to speak pig-Latin, dislikes exhibiting her feet. We're Not Dressing (Paramount). This picture...
