After the performance last week there was a family reunion, quiet talk of the mother who died two years ago, of Marcella Sembrich who was Dusolina's teacher, of the late Daniel Mayer, the manager who started her on her career, made it his business to see that she read profitable books, helped her with her programs and her costumes, developed her taste. Absent also was Brother Vittorio, now a recognized composer studying in Italy on a Pix de Rome fellowship...
...Respondent Unknown (By Mildred Harris & Harold Goldman; MacKenna, Mielziner & Mayer, Producers). Title role in this conjugal rough-&-tumble is played by Peggy Conklin, the extremely pretty brunette who was bundled into dramatic fame in The Pursuit of Happiness (TIME, Oct. 23, 1933). Last year she was the pert daughter of the Arizona quick-lunch proprietor in The Petrified Forest. In Co-Respondent Unknown Actress Conklin again appears as a gamine whose innocence about sex is equaled only by her curiosity...
Bugle Ann (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Night after night when dampness has flushed the black-dark woods and scents are strong and clear, hounds run in Missouri. Practicing one of the oldest U.

Rose Marie (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is based on the sound assumption that cinemaudiences will pay little attention to plot and trimmings if they can hear Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in full voice.

Acting with considerable charm, and bursting frequently into song in the midst of Canadian wilds, Miss MacDonald and Mr. Eddy should provoke an even greater box-office triumph than by their first effort, Naughty Marietta. Marie de Flor...
Exclusive Story (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is based, according to advertisements, on revelations made to its producers by Hearstling Martin Mooney, whose jailing for refusing to reveal to a grand jury the sources of his news stories about New York's numbers game, roughly coincided with Exclusive Story's premiere in Manhattan last week. The revelations range from the not particularly astounding information that racketeers browbeat small shopkeepers and sometimes shoot each other, to the more alarming but less plausible hypothesis that the Mono Castle (called in the picture the Mochado} was ignited by a shipload of liquid...
