TO FOOL"
Dithering Edward Everett Horton
plays ."Nobody's Fool" with
usual absent-minded humor in the
current offering at the Mayflower.
Behind his tnnnc mannerism he con
ceals a shrewd and clever mind,
and winds in and out of comedy situ
ations with all the vacuity of a lnmh
being led to slaughter, while con
trolling the action all the time.
Shnring top honors with him in the
film are Olenda Farrell, lovely blonde
star, and the European-appearing
Cesar Romero. Warren Hymer plays
stooge again. Arthur Greville Collins
directed.

Zasu Pitts does nobody any good in

close confines of the cabin plane.
For the other half of the program
there is an expose of a new "skake

Rex is presenting both features this
Sunday.
GUNS GO BANG FOR
. Edward G. Robinson returns to the
screen in "Bullets Or BalJots," shar
ing the bill now on at the McDonald
with H. G. Wells "Things To Come."
The story of the Robinson film is by
Martin Mooncy, the New York news
paperman who was sent to jail for
30 days for contempt of court be
cause he refused to divulge the names
of gangsters who gave him informa
tion confidentially.
Robinson's new role affords him
all tho opportunities for character
ization that "Little Caesar," the pic
ture that made him famous, gave him,
but in this picture he is on the side
of the law, as a hard-boiled detective
determined to put the boldest and
best organized gang of criminals
known to history out of business.
Barton MacLane is the chief of the
gangsters, Humphrey Bogart, killer in
"The Petrified Forest", is the tough

Hngh furnishes comedy, and Joan
Blondell plays the role of female
gangster.
