BY JIMMY STARR

If there ever was a suitable
nickname for Samuel GoldWyn,
at least one-half of it would be
Lavish. Mr.. Goldwyn doesn't
seem to care how much any
thing costs, or how much time
he spends, as long as he gets
what he wants.
His principal interests, of
course, is supplying entertain
ment on celluloid. One of his
long-cheriShed dreams has been
to produce 1.-The Goldwyn Fol
lies" an idea he was toying with
at the time his close friend Zieg-
field died.
Mr.. Lavish" Goldwyn. has
surpassed himself with his 'Fol-
lies" Not only is his produc-
ton sparklingly beautiful, but
there is far too much Of it.
After all, that is why the indus
try has previews. A bit of adroit
editing here and there and the
"Follies" will smooth out to an
ideal and gorgeously presented
musical.
Ben Hecht's story contains an
amusing slant on Hollywood
production matters. A big movie
producer, snartly played by
'Adolphe Menjou, hires a pretty
little country girl to inject the
necessary common sense into
his production activities. Her
straight-line thinking and adj
vice serve as the counter-bal-
ance to too many Studio
geniuSeS."
This particular method. Of
telling a story also excenently
serves as the threadwork on
which to hang many a speciality
number, such, as the mad, scam
pering, and completely daffy
Ritz Brothers, whose comedy
work considerably brightens the
latter half of the film; the
operatic work by lovely high
note-hitting Helen Jepson; the
very beautiful American Ballet
of the Metropolitan Opera; the
singing of Kenny Baker; the
quips and fun supplied by Phil
Baker; the extremely fine work
by Edgar Bergen and his famed
dummy, Charlie Mccarthy.
Considering that he had a
massive task of weaving in so
many. characters, Dire ct tor
George Marshall hCsS done a
rather neat job.
Talent-finding Goldwyn def
nitely has a bet in Andrea Leeds,
who not only photographs per-
fectly beautiful in color, but has
a charming screen personality.
You'll like Zorina, too. Ella
Logan, Jerome Cowan, Bobby
Clark, Nydia WeStman and
others complete the large cast.
WELDING an extra sharp pair
Of shears, Mr.. Goldwyn should
have, when finished editing, a
superb piece of entertainment
In his ''Follies."
