Garden of the Moon (Warner Bros.) represents a valiant effort on the part of its producers to understand and satisfy the mystic cravings of that big segment of the U. S. public now known as "jitter-bugs." Whether or not jitterbugs will like Garden of the Moon remains to be seen, but normal cinemaddicts probably will not. A morbidly cheerful little study of the rages induced in a café proprietor (Pat O'Brien) by his hysterical efforts to hire a satisfactory orchestra, it reaches its comic peak when he makes his pressagent (Margaret Lindsay) believe he is dying...

...opinion, needs a Mark Hanna, or a Matt Quay." First declaring that he does not know Republican National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton well enough to surmise whether he has the requisite "iron in his soul'' to ride roughshod over the wishes of this or that segment of his followers, Mr. Michelson indicated his opinion by suggesting another candidate: Herbert Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury Ogden Livingston Mills.
