...From Hell to Heaven (Paramount). Beginning with Jack Oakie's first speech, "People come and people go but nothing ever happens around here," this is a frank but entertaining composite of Grand Hotel and its imitations. An innovation is showing the characters at a racetrack. Carole Lombard comes to the track to test the faithfulness of her lover (Sidney Blackmer) before announcing to him the tidings of her divorce.

But men who own dogs, not for breeding and selling, nor for hunting or house-watching, but for the idle pleasure which the ownership affords, know the pet, not as from Hell, nor yet as Rin-Tin-Tin, but in the full measure of what it is worth. If you would beat and kick your wife, and yet have her love you and fawn upon you, said William Wycherley, get a bitch...
