...rehearsed them in Hollywood, sent them out complete with costumes, scenery and songs. Their studio on Sunset Boulevard near Western became a factory for mass production of 15-minute shows. They needed bright youngsters who would work cheap. Janet Gaynor swung on a chandelier from the stage of Loew's State in Los Angeles; Myrna Loy's rice-powdered legs pranced in many a chorus; Bing Crosby, shaking with stage fright, croaked Mississippi Mud. A buxom girl soprano who had worked with them in Tait's signed a Metropolitan opera contract in a round, florid hand: Mary...
Boston seems to have a plethora of good pictures to offer this week, and Loew's State and Orpheum crashes through with "Night Must Fall."

The Golem is not disturbed until most of Prague's Jews have been tossed into the lion pit in the Emperor's dungeons. Jacob's wife...
...theatre owners continue to think they have to serve up a piece of boring tripe as a second feature on every program, when the first would draw well enough, is beyond comprehension. The dish at the Loew's is triply unpalatable. It is a bad plot, full of silly situations which aren't very amusing, and too long. It is poorly acted by Robert Young and Ann Sothern; Young is one of these boys who finds that looking peeved, frowning, flouncing about and shouting too loud is the only way he can impress personality on you.
