...waste three-quarters of the film telling a poppycock love story about one of his friends. Most of the photography is poor. One of the rare good shots: newsreel of the actual crowd waiting in Berlin streets to see Richthofen's body carried by. Gold Diggers of Broadway (Warner). Avery Hopwood's comedy about a rich man who tried to save his heir from a chorus girl is the framework of an indifferent screen musical show.

...apparent connection with the story by Katherine Brush from which it is supposed to be taken. To make it long enough for a feature, Director Robert Florey photographed and recorded an audience ceaselessly clapping hands. Worst sound: the henlike cackling of women in the lavabo. The Gamblers (Warner). This picture is a ponderous leer at Wall Street corruption. It has that annoying air of knowingness peculiar to bad parlor realism. In extraordinarily ornate offices, ballrooms, conservatories, H. B. Warner, Lois Wilson and Jason Robards argue and glare and pull each other around. The triangle includes a banker...
