...Fiddle (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). A Broadway success of two years ago, this musicomedy slides neatly into cinema. Set in Brussels and Paris, it is sleek, plausible, sentimental. An operetta composer (Ramon Novarro) meets, loves and teams up with a U. S. girl (Jeanette MacDonald) who also writes songs. A manager (Frank Morgan) likes Novarro's tunes but eyes the girl with more relish. He publishes her song, "The Night is Made for Love," the success of which enables MacDonald and Novarro to live in a glittering Paris flat. But Novarro, producing nothing himself, returns to Brussels in gloom. Miss...

...Everything (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Set unconvincingly at the turn of the century, this picture presents Hannah Bell (May Robson), a stubborn, avaricious, domineering old widow who is "the richest woman in the world."

...real treat of the meeting came, however, when the world president was able to present to the sisters her old friend and colleague, Billy Sunday, who was in just the mood to give a fine imitation of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion. Unfortunately, Mr. Sunday spoke so fast that no one was able to hear him, not even these in the first rows who had been laced there because they were hard of hearing. Despite being understandable, Mr. Sunday was anything but inarticulate. Repeal, he says "will fill the streets with staggering, reeling, maudlin, stewing drunkards"; moreover...
Sons of the Desert (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) shows Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy behaving foolishly as members of an idiotic secret order. Fat supercilious Hardy sneaks off to the Chicago convention of the Sons of the Desert by telling his wife (Mae Busch) he is going to Honolulu for his nerves. Laurel, scratching his whisk-broom forelock, accompanies him. On their return, there is confusion because the steamer from Honolulu, on which their wives expected them, has been wrecked. Laurel & Hardy cope with the situation ignominiously, Hardy with a feeble lie, Laurel with a blubbering confession...
