Free and Easy (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Producers used to be opposed to stories using the moving-picture business as a background, believing, probably quite correctly, that such stories in attempting to exploit the accidental glamour which is one of the most important assets of the business, satisfied public curiosity instead of stimulating it. This time the idea of having the camera follow Buster Keaton around the Culver City lot, where famed directors and entertainers are at work, is more successful than usual. It is a Merton-of-the-Movies story, with the comedian talking in a mellow voice that takes...
...worked out by Inventor Theodore Nakken, president of Nakken Corp., discards the use of a slit device for limiting the area of photographic sound on a film. Claiming sole rights to this method, and also to the sound-on-film device which employs the slit (Fox Movietone, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, RKO, Paramount), Nakken Corp. has requested an adjudication of patents from the U.

Montana Moon (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Equipped with dull and naively vulgar dialog Montana Moon is a retake, admirably photographed, of the sort of picture that was known as a "superfeaturerl in the days when all pictures were westerns and when anything was a superfeature that contained more than a straight western story. The novelty is the introduction into ranch life of Joan Crawford, a girl addicted to the incautious pleasures and frail moral standards of the East. She marries a cowboy, "repents, is on her way back to New York when her train is held up by cowpunchers masquerading...
...Girl Said No (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). This comedy, familiar in formula, takes a handsome girl and an irresponsible young man through a series of incidents at the end of which, as a crowning comic twist, he gets the girl. Some of William Haines's antics seem dictated less by fantasy than by pathology, but the consciousness that in actual life any one of his little jokes would be reason enough for his being shot or locked up, stimulates rather than hinders the humor. Best shots: an unnamed player as a frightened waiter who is ordered by his employer to make...
