Smiling Faces (Harry Clarke, librettist; Harry Revel, composer; Mack Gordon, lyricist; Lee & Jake Shubert. producers) is notable chiefly for exhibiting Fred Stone as a most generous person. His daughter Paula had the leading female role on tour; Daughter Dorothy, as costar, has the role in Manhattan. Her husband, Charles Collins, has a prominent part. Comedian Stone saves most of his funny remarks for a scene in which he does an imitation of Will Rogers. (Four years ago when Comedian Stone was hurt in an airplane crash, Funnyman Rogers took his place in Three Cheers.) Except for that scene...

It sets a record for decorum exceeding even that of the latest Fred Stone revel (TIME, Feb. 24), probably not equalled since the belles of another generation swished their skirts naughtily in the direction of bald heads' row. Its dialog scarcely even alludes to any difference between the sexes and whenever any of its chorines appears in tights she is so drenched in colored lights, so safely enrapt in fantasy, that she might as well be wearing a mackintosh...
