COONS Wellknown Writer Gives His Impressions of New Produtcions By ROBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 14— The movie history lesson now “Gold Is Where You Find It.” is | Beautifully photographed in col- or, this outdoor melodrama covers the fight between hydraulic miners and wheat farmers in the Cali- fornia of 1877. It has vigor and abundant action, a hard-hitting hero of the old school George Brent, a dyed-in-the-wool villain in Barton MacLane, a fine gentle- man who loves his land in Claude Rains, and the unscrupulous lords of big business arrayed against the simple, earth-loyal farmers of the valley. Most of all it has Olivia de Hav- illand, whose fresh beauty in the color medium will startle you. It has, for a climax, a smashing flood —brought down by our hero h\l'{ no apparent reason other than to provide a smashing climax. Mi- | chael Curtiz directed. 1 Pair of Musicals ‘ The week, however, was largely | musical. “Everybody Sing” presents the goofy doings of a balmy the- atrical family in which Daddy Reginald Owen is a playwright,| Mama Billie Burke a stage star,| |Allan Jones and Fanny Brice the | servants, and Lynne Carver and Judy Garland the children. Regi- nald Gardner is the ham actor, |Miss Burke's leading man. Directed by Edwin L. Marin, the piece keeps pace with its possi bilties for humor and song, pr Jjects 14-year-old Judy more prom- inently than before, and gives the Brice humor full opportunity. Less pretentious, less beautifully staged than “Rosalie,” it's much better entertainment.

Wally Vernon does, among |other things, a “strip tease” to entertain impatient reporters about to walk out on his publicity-hungry boss. The Condos brothers, tappers extraordinary, do a “War Dance for Wooden Indians™ to the sultry, scintilating music of Raymond Scott’s Quintette. El Brendel is back, with a Swedish specialty, and Jean Hersholt. And Don Ameche, as the Real Thing, proves again that he is the screen’s most nat- ural romantic leading man. Roy del Ruth directed. | | Alpine Frivolity “Paradise for Three” is one of those “surprise” pictures. Robert Young, perennial contest-winner but unemployed, wins a soap slo- gan award, a vacation at an Alpine hotel. Frank Morgan, soap mag- nate, wins second prize, incognito, goes to the same resort. There gold-digging Mary Astor; Morgan’s valet, Reginald Owen; Morgan's housekeeper, Edna May Oliver; his daughter, Florence Rice; and sun- dry others become involved in senseless doings—to no good end but light amusement.
