The Affairs of Maupassant (Panta Films), in presuming to bring to fervent consummation a liaison that was really carried on entirely by mail between Guy de Maupassant and Marie Bashkirtseff, makes Maupassant out something of a popinjay, shows Marie, in the person of Lili Darvas (wife of Ferenc Molnar), as a luscious morsel even when she is dying a Camille-like death at 24.
Checkers (Twentieth Century-Fox). Ever since brattish Jane Withers muscled in on dimpled Shirley Temple's territory in Bright Eyes three years ago hollering for a gat, she has continued to rise in the affections of the U. S. public. She now stands sixth in box-office popularity. Plumpish, 11-year-old Jane, mixed up with a race-track crowd, repairs a shaky romance, helps nurse an injured race horse back to health, paces him to a neck-and-neck Derby finish.
Radio City Revels (RKO-Radio) is a fancy patch of cinematic needlework stretched over the hoop-la idea of a songwriter who works only in his sleep. Fanciest flight: frantic Song Thieves Jack Oakie and Milton Berle trying to cure Sleep-writer Bob Burns's insomnia by tossing a lamb back & forth across his bed. shortcutting by having him start counting at 1,000.
