First, the Vincey expedition meets a wild British fur trader living in a snow hut with his lovely daughter Tanya (Helen Mack). Next they find old John Vincey's body sealed in a glacier, like a lamb chop in aspic. Hacking at the glacier the fur trader starts an avalanche. The avalanche opens up the entrance to an underground kingdom where Leo, his associate and Tanya are assaulted by cannibals, lugged off in time's nick to a porphyry castle, where a queen named She (Helen Gahagan) mistakes Leo Vincey for his ancestor, explains that she has been...
...crooned syncopation and eager pace of last year's musicals would be an unthinkable violation. Paris in Spring handsomely exhibits all the proper appointments in the manner of the day: no gags, no chorus, no comic. Sprightliness is the keynote of the dialog. Songwriters Harry Revel and Mack Gordon, with a fetching title song and probably the year's best tango (Bonjour, Mam'selle), are continental in chunks, and Mary Ellis, though she frequently sings with abandon, keeps her well-proportioned body covered at all times with expensive furs or drygoods...
Stranded (Warner) is an eminently unimportant little fabrication dealing with a romance between a serious employe of the Travelers Aid Society and an opinionated construction engineer.

Possibly the real excuse for Stranded, beyond the individual fashion show which Kay Francis contributes throughout, was Warner Brothers' remorse for not including in Black Fury the scene in which a beautiful girl harangues a group of striking workers.

...other, "Four Hours to Kill," Richard Barthelmess is given top billing but is no more important than a dozen other actors, among them Joe Morrisson, Helen Mack, and Roscoe Karns. There are a tleast five plots, all good, cleverly interwoven and suspended until the final dramatic climax. The last twenty minutes of the picture are dynamite. Your Honor, you really ought to see it. It's a pity it's only one more...
...that back-breaking toil. He learned engineering and drafting from correspondence courses. Because he remembered that his grandmother moistened her spinning wheel to make cotton stick to it, the idea occurred to him to try a smooth, wet spindle on a mechanical picker. Soon he was joined by Brother Mack, who had graduated from the University of Texas and gone to work for General Electric Co. in Schenectady. Their first machines were tried out with encouraging success in Texas and Louisiana. They worked slowly, carefully, rebuffed outsiders, got along with astonishingly little money. Now they are incorporated as Southern Harvester...
