...washed up with the producers when Ruby Keeler convinces him he needs a partner. The way she convinces him is the most satisfying but of tapping we've even seen. The story is their fight to get back to Broadway, and, in itself it furnishes no little interest. Glenda Farrell a girl who hasn't disappointed us yet, gets some good lines as Al's wisecracking sister. Helen Morgan sings well, and goes over too, despite the fact that she's the villainess of the piece...

Glenda Farrell again inherits the role of the gold-digger who sets her cap for Hugh Herbert, an idle multi-millionaire with a penchant for writing monograms and collecting antique snuff boxes. Alice Brady, as the close-fisted millionaire mother of Gloria Stuart and Frank McHugh, does her acting...
Paramount and Fenway: "Our Dally Bread"--King Vidor's bold and excellent interpretation of the current of things social and economic. Depicts the back-to-the-farm movement in a moving and vivid style. Also "Kansas City Princess"--Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrel in another of their mildly amusing and risque pictures...
