...House on 56th Street fails to do it justice. It is a gloomy but only mildly exciting chronicle about a turn-of-the-century chorus girl whose characteristic for being present at deaths by violence makes the house on 56th Street resemble a shooting box.

No amount of cod-liver oil, viosterol, ultraviolet light or sunlight improved their condition. Best deduction is that the beryllium combines with phosphorus, which is essential...

By the time Geza (Nils Asther) goes to the front you are ready to believe in his feeling for Irina (Kay Francis), at whose country house his troops have been quartered. The day when her robust old husband Dushan (Walter Huston) finds out is also the day when Geza is in danger of being court-martialed by the officer in command of the town. Irina goes to warn him to escape. Dushan follows to create a scene. The commanding officer...
