...After two years on the Paramount payroll, during which she failed to set any celluloid on fire, she was dropped, spent a year looking for a job. Warner Bros, put her under contract in 1936.

Although her most ambitious job of work since then has been an unimpressive performance in an unimpressive picture called Indianapolis...

Its story is what might happen if an old man, tenacious of life, could get this urbane Grim Reaper trapped up an apple tree...
Maisie (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is quite a girl. A tank-town showgirl from Denver, but no blowzer, she is frank, fresh, full-blown, natural, vibrantly on the up & up. Maisie lets the cinemaudience know early that life has braced her for a right uppercut and a left to the jaw, so being stranded in Big Horn, Wyo. with only 15? during rodeo week puts no undue strain on her morale. She takes a stand behind the counter of a shooting gallery, goes gunning for a big, silent ranch hand (Robert Young), misses his heart with her first try. Happily pursuing...
