...Alexander's Ragtime Band, Tyrone Power has not had time to make major changes in his technique. Otherwise, his performance is well up to the standard of similar roles in Lloyd's of London and Marie Antoinette. In a supporting cast which includes Joseph Schildkraut, Henry Stephenson, Nigel Bruce and Director Miles Mander, drafted for the role of Disraeli, the ablest member is Producer Zanuck's latest Continental star. Less mannered than unfortunate little Simone Simon, Annabella (real name: Suzanne Charpentier) chatters intelligibly, looks pretty in gamine or Empire costume and chokes to death affectingly during...
Quick Drops. When examining eyes for errors of refraction oculists use homatropine drops to dilate the pupils, paralyzing the muscles of accommodation.

Result: quick-acting drops. Within four hours some patients were able to read newspapers again...

...Baroness and the Butler" should have been even better, for the cast--Annabella, William Powell, Helen Westley, Henry Stephenson--and sets are considerably better. But banal treatment, poor direction, and a too melodramatic climax, rob the picture of much of its appeal. Shown together, however, the two films make a good double bill, being less similar and probably more entertaining, than this review would indicate...
