...director to supervise the whole production, had bits made under different directors and assembled the parts when completed. Best line: Butterworth's comment on Durante's party: "This place is littered with movie celebrities - and that makes some litter." Channel Crossing (Gaumont British). A financier (Matheson Lang) with a Christ-like beard is threatened with ruin when a clerk (Anthony Bushell), in love with his secretary (Constance Cummings), overhears that some of his securities are forged.

...twist his body into fantastic shapes and to stand with his hands raised to the heavens and his back to the audience--if that is his conception, it is certainly a weird one. Mr. Byer's sense of the melodramatic nearly ran away with him and Miss Margaret Lang gave a surprisingly sour-faced and matter-of-fact portrayal of Death. Mr. James Tower, in the part of Lewis the Loving, needs a gentle reminder that love is neither complacent, simpering nor awkward...
...Miss Lang, who will play the part made vacant by the resignation of Miss Marie C. Driscoll, was chosen after many tryouts conducted by Losey. Little information could be secured on Miss Lang, but it was understood that she is not a Radcliffe graduate. The selection last night leaves one remaining major feminine part to be filled...
