August 6, 2010 at 12:02 PMI found out the hard way that the iPhone 3G "12 month hardware warranty" is useless in the U.S. part of the caribbean after the initial free "apple care" expires. They won't let you file online for a repair, and they won't let you talk to an apple rep for a case #. Sounds like a "You bought it you got it warranty." The WiFi failed. Thinking about shipping it to Balmer at MS and asking him to do local shipping to Apple Repair for me jusst so he can have a field day with Jobs. I have complex electronic equipment from the 70's that still works. Guess the WiFi tends to suicide like its Foxconn builders.

AngieYes!You should definitely buy this iron. It is the best, in my humble opinion, it's better than the CHI. It glides on your hair so smoothly and doesn't leave the burnt smell. I have never had any creases in my hair, or any snags. Mine recently broke because my toddler dropped it on the floor too many times (when cold), and I'm looking to get the same exact one again. I love it. Such great quality.Dec 23, 2011Link to this post
Brittany S.Amazing Buy!!I've had this flat iron since 08. THE BEST flat iron i have ever owned! Took me awhile to find one that i loved, but i've had this flat iron for 4 yrs now & have NO complaints what so ever. If you have any doubt, don't! I know it's hard trying to find the prefect flat iron, I paid 80 for mine when i first got it, i've turned all of my friends onto this flat iron. I have frizzy, naturally curly/wavy hair. I've went through so many flat irons just to have my hair look exactly like it does when i get out of the shower. My hair will stay perfectly straight up until the next time i shower. I would be lost without this flat iron in my life lol.Dec 21, 2011Link to this post
KYes!Buy it!!! I have two and I might buy a third! I love them and right now they are $59 dollars, such a bargain! I use this flat iron on my self (straight wavy hair), on my sisters (very curly hair) and on my mom (thick coarse hair) this does magic for all of our hair types. Hope this helps :)Dec 21, 2011Link to this post

Courtney L.USAYes!ive bought two striaghteners from this site.. the chi and this solia. and the solia is my favorite. they only last about 2 1/2-3 years which is pretty good. i have medium curly thick hair so i need a good striaghtener not one from wally world. i would defineitly recommend this one.. and i am also buying this one again becuase mine just died after three years of daily use. also a good thing i found out about this striaghtener is that if you forget to turn it off its has an automatic shut off in like 2 hours or so. im not slure. so it doesnt leave burn marks on your counter.Jan 7, 2012Link to this post

What to do if your partner is more in love with you the you are with them?
I love him, think about him, and care about him alotbut i'm not sure if i'm in love with him. His really serious about us and speaks about us having a future together. I'm so young and feel as though being too serious with one person is far from my mind right now.
There's always someone in the relationship that loves harder and i'm not that someone. I feel terrible about it and wish that I could understand how deeply he loves me.

McDonnell Issues Warning About Forest Fires
Governor Bob McDonnell is warning Virginians statewide about an increased risk of forest fires. Craig Carper reports.
Virginia has experienced several rainless weeks with temperatures above 95 degrees, creating the perfect conditions for forest fires.
Governor McDonnell said yesterday that he has been in close contact with the Virginia Department of Forestry. While the agency has not officially issued a burn ban, they are strongly discouraging burning dead foliage and other refuse.
Gregg O'Donnell, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Forestry, told Virginians to use caution when dealing with potentially combustible or flammable materials.
O'Donnell: There's just so much dry material out there right now, that if you have a fire, it can escape and if it escapes, it can escape very quickly and do a lot of damage because things are so dry. If you're having problems with your car and you pull over to the side of the road, try to keep it on an asphalt shoulder, try not to pull into tall grass if your vehicle is disabled.
The Drought Index Scale used by the DOF to gauge the likeliness of fire danger ranges from zero to 800, with zero being total ground saturation and 800 being desert-like conditions. The ideal level for summer months is roughly two hundred. Right now the scale is above 500, considerably higher than any time in recent years.

If tuition increases 200%, it has tripled.
If tuition increases 300%, it has quadrupled.

Beware of the Dinosaur
Saudi Arabia: Forced into extinction | The Economist "Like much that moves in Twitter-mad Saudi Arabia these days, it started with a single message. A lady in Dammam, the hub of the oil industry on the kingdom's Gulf coast, tweeted a complaint from a local shopping mall. Agents of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), she said, were causing an unpleasant scene. The government-salaried vigilantes, a bearded auxiliary police force familiarly known to Saudis as the Hayaa, had marched officiously into an educational exhibit featuring plaster models of dinosaurs, turned off the lights and ordered everyone out, frightening children and alarming their parents."

Research: "Seeds of Change" in Tahrir Square and Beyond: People Power or Technological Convergence?
A Douai, "Seeds of Change" in Tahrir Square and Beyond: People Power or Technological Convergence?, American Communication Journal
2012 SPECIAL ISSUE (Volume 14, Issue 3)
"This article addresses the role of social media in the Arab Spring, specifically focusing on how
Twitter was used during the Egyptian uprising. Prior to discussing Twitter, however, the article
situates the topic of social media and socio-political change within a larger context: The
"democratic" shifts that we are witnessing today in the region are outcomes of deep and
historical transformations Arab societies have been going through. These transformations can be
summed up in the convergence of "technological" and "human" variables that have convulsed
the Arab public sphere and led to the current democratic wave. In other terms, the article's
central argument is that the "seeds" of change are both "technological" and "human." The case
of Twitter and Web 2:0 will further support and illustrate this unprecedented convergence."

Papers presented are expected to give special attention to the use of various textual sources and material for creating and deconstructing political arguments.
"If interested, please send abstracts (no more than 250 words) to firstname.lastname@example.com no later than 20 January 2013. Final papers are not to be more than 8000 words.

Unix distributions that include backuppc. Please also include backuppc version and distro version.
Please don't mix distribution packages and tar upgrades. By installing a package and then upgrading to a newer version with the tar installer (by downloading the newest version of BackupPC from sourceforge and running configure.pl) you are confusing your package management system. Be prepared for "upgrades" to lower versions, just for one example. The damage to your package management system's state cannot easily be undone. You will need to figure out what to do for yourself. Avoid it. If you feel you really need that newer version (you probably don't), then install it from the tar file. That's not more complicated than upgrading with the tar installer.

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments to anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs from Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware. Litecoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average) and uses memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target the regular computers and GPUs most people already have. The Litecoin network is scheduled to produce 84 million currency units. One of the aims of Litecoin was to provide a mining algorithm that could run at the same time, on the same hardware used to mine bitcoins. With the rise of specialized ASICs for Bitcoin, Litecoin continues to satisfy these goals. It is unlikely for ASIC mining to be developed for Litecoin until the currency is widely used.

Information on Gruber family, starting with Peter Gruber, his sons, William, Enoch and Henry and daughter Eliz. The were early residents of Gilliad, now Grand Rapids, Ohio. They came from Manheim, Pennsylvania. At some point Enoch moved to Henry County and William's famiy to what is now Lucas County, formerly part of Wood County.
Box family, now in Wood and Lucas Counties. My great-grandfather was William Box. His first wife, Mary Ellen Keegan, died young and left him with five children; John Jacob, William Franklin, Mary Catherine, Lizzie Elizabeth, and Joseph Alford. his second wife, Fiana Lahr Jones was a widow with several children. William and Fiana had seven children: Pearl Mae, Maude Belle (twins), Myrta, Clara Fern , Fred C., William Lloyd, and Louis Edward. I have qute a bit of information on this family but enjoy meeting new cousins and learning about their branches of this very large family.
Shepler family: My grandfather, George Washington Shepler married Maude Belle Box, daughter of William Box. They moved between Wood and Lucas counties. I can trace the Sheplers back to the Revolution, but for George and Maude I have only memories. I am curious about their lives and adventures.

The Obama administration's top immigration official says his agency is working to attract and keep more foreign-born high-tech entrepreneurs who are seeking to start companies in the U.S., a move he hopes will help the nation retain its edge in an increasingly competitive global economy. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service Director Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged on Wednesday that his agency ''has not been especially nimble'' to adapt to fast-paced changes in the business landscape, even though it has been quick to respond to the humanitarian landscape.

Thelma Todd Movies
Gorgeous blonde comedienne
Thelma Todd
was born in Massachusetts, where for two years she was a sixth-grade teacher at Lowell Normal School. After winning the Miss Massachusetts beauty contest in 1924, Todd was selected by producer Jesse L. Lasky to join Paramount Pictures' newly created school for young actors; the school lasted only one year, during which time Todd and her 15 "classmates" (among them Charles "Buddy" Rogers, later the husband of
Mary Pickford
) appeared in the Paramount film
Fascinating Youth
(1926). She remained at Paramount until 1927, then moved to First National, where she made her talkie bow in the horror-comedy
Seven Footprints to Satan
(1929). Though she yearned for dramatic roles, Todd was best suited to comedy, as proven by her long association with the Hal Roach Studios. After appearing as leading lady and comic foil to Harry Langdon, Charley Chase, and Laurel and Hardy, Thelma was given her own starring series of Roach two-reelers in 1931, teamed first with ZaSu Pitts and then with Patsy Kelly. She also appeared with the Marx Brothers in Paramount's
Horse Feathers
(1932) and Duck Soup (1933); with Joe E. Brown in
Broad Minded
(1931) and
Son of a Sailor
(1933); with Buster Keaton in
Speak Easily
(1932); and with Wheeler and Woolsey in Hips, Hips, Hooray (1934) and
Cockeyed Cavaliers
(1934). In 1931, she became the protegée and lover of eccentric director Roland West, who decreed that Thelma was too good for mere comic roles and decided to promote her as a dramatic actress. He changed her name to Alison Loyd and starred her in his gangster melodrama
(1931), but the metamorphosis didn't take and soon she was back to comedy assignments with her original name, with a few noncomic roles in such films as the original
Maltese Falcon
(1931). Late in 1935, Thelma made her last feature-film appearance as the Gypsy Queen in Laurel and Hardy's
The Bohemian Girl
(1936). On December 14, 1935, hours after leaving a party in an uncharacteristic ill temper, Thelma was found dead in her garage, slumped over the steering wheel of her car. Thelma had died of carbon monoxide poisoning; to this day, it has never been satisfactorily determined whether she committed suicide, was murdered by the gangsters who had recently tried to extort money from her, or died accidentally. Out of respect for their well-liked co-worker, Laurel and Hardy had all but one of

The Bohemian Girl
The excellent box-office returns for the previous Laurel & Hardy comic operas The Devil's Brother and Babes in Toyland encouraged Hal Roach to cast the team in still another operatic adaptation, a self-styled "comedy version" of William Balfe's The Bohemian Girl. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy play members of a gypsy tribe wandering through middle Europe sometime in the early 19th century. As if he hasn't got enough trouble trying to train dimwitted Stan to be a "first-class pickpocket," Ollie is also saddled with a faithless wife (Mae Busch), who is in love with dashing gypsy robber captain Devil's Hoof (Antonio Moreno). While trying to break into the palace of gypsy-hating Count Arnheim (William P. Carleton), Devil's Hoof is captured and flogged. In retaliation, Ollie's wife kidnaps Arnheim's little daughter Arline (Darla Hood of "Our Gang" fame) and leaves the child in Ollie's care, explaining that the baby is his ("I didn't want to tell her who her father was until she was old enough to stand the shock!") Twelve years later, Arline (now played by Jacqueline Wells) has grown into a beautiful young woman who's forgotten all about her aristocratic childhood, except whenever she dreams "she dwelt in marbl'd halls" (from the song of the same name). By coincidence, Arline one day finds herself wandering around the grounds of her ancestral home. She is captured by the Captain of the Guards (James Finlayson) and sentenced to be flogged, whereupon her foster-daddy Ollie and her drink-besotted Uncle Stanley race to her rescue. There's a happy ending for Arline, but not for Stan and Ollie, who wind up the picture with one of their famous "physical distortion" gags. A troubled production, The Bohemian Girl had to be extensively reshot and re-edited after previews because of the sudden (and still unsolved) death of co-star Thelma Todd, who was originally cast as the Gypsy Queen. It was decided out of respect for Todd to retain only one of her musical numbers and to refilm the rest of her scenes with other actors; as a result, Bohemian Girl is one of the patchiest and most uneven of the Laurel & Hardy features. Fortunately, Stan and Ollie's scenes are well up to par, especially the classic bit wherein Stan inadvertently becomes progressively drunker as he tries to bottle a cask of bubbling wine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All-American Toothache
The final Thelma Todd-Patsy Kelly two-reel comedy All-American Toothache was a rather obvious farce in which Thelma volunteers Patsy's services to freckled dental student Mickey Daniels. The comedy, produced by Hal Roach and directed by Gus Meins, was released a month and a half following Thelma Todd's mysterious death in a garage in Pacific Palisades, CA, on December 16, 1935. Unwilling to give up a profitable series, Roach partnered the surviving Patsy Kelly with the rather similar Pert Kelton in Pan Handlers (1936), but then found a more suitable replacement for Todd in blonde Polish bombshell Lyda Roberti. Sadly, the Roberti-Kelly teamwork was cut short by the former's sudden death of a heart attack at the age of 29 in 1938. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Hot Money
This mildly amusing two-reel comedy was released only a month before Thelma Todd's mysterious death. Todd and Patsy Kelly are sharing an apartment but neither of them can come up with the rent and the fed-up landlord tells them to pay up or get out. In desperation, the superstitious Patsy picks up a lamp and rubs it, Aladdin fashion, and wishes for 50,000 dollars. Within seconds, a crook barges into the apartment, tosses the girls a money bag containing 50,000 dollars and says he will be back for it. Patsy immediately snatches up the lamp and wishes that he will never come back. Another crook shows up and shoots the first one dead. As the panicked girls listen through their front door, Patsy swears, "I was only hopin' he'd forget the address!" The cops arrive and force everyone to stay in the building. They keep their eyes on Thelma and Patsy, who they deem particularly suspicious. The killer turns off the lights in the lobby and sneaks the dead body into Thelma and Patsy's apartment. The girls find it there, as do the cops a few moments later. The killer manages to change places with the dead body temporarily but Patsy knocks him out, saving the day. Not one of the Todd/Kelly team's best efforts, unfortunately. This comic short shouldn't be confused with the 1936 picture of the same name. ~ Janiss Garza, Rovi

After the Dance
In this tuneful crime drama, a falsely convicted man escapes from prison and hides out with a comely chorine. She discovers that he has talent and the two become a popular dancing team. Their fast ascent to stardom is stopped in its tracks when the dancer's jealous ex-partner turns the fugitive in. The cops don't seem to care that the fellow is innocent and insist that he complete his sentence. If he serves his sentence quietly, they promise to release him in two years. The dancer vows to wait for him and remains true to her word. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Two for Tonight
Based on an obscure stage comedy, the Paramount musical Two for Tonight stars Bing Crosby as would-be composer and playwright Gilbert Gordon. Hired by music publisher Alexander Myers (Maurice Cass) to write a musical for temperamental stage star Lilly Bianca (Thelma Todd), Gordon is less than thrilled to discover that he must complete the job in one week. As he toils away at his task, our hero becomes convinced that he's in love with the troublesome Lilly, causing heartache for his erstwhile sweetheart Bobbie Lockwood (Joan Bennett). The magnificent Mary Boland commands the audience's attention as Gordon's much-married mother. Elements of the plot of Two for Tonight were later satirized in the 1979 spoof Movie Movie. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lightning Strikes Twice
It's a dark and stormy night. The butler of a large mansion is annoyed by the howling of a cat. He fires a few gunshots at the annoying feline, which rouses the attention of two dimwitted cops. Before long, nearly everyone in New York has converged on the mansion--including a couple of bona fide criminals. Lightning Strikes Twice can't make up its mind to be a straight melodrama or a slapstick comedy, and therein lies both its weakness and its charm. The film is of greatest interest to fans of 1930s "B" pictures, thanks to a vintage cast including Chick Chandler, Thelma Todd, Steffi Duna and Walter Catlett. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Babes in the Goods
In their first comedy two-reeler of 1934, the female answer to Laurel and Hardy, Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly, once again play sales girls, this time demonstrating washing machines in a department store window. They fail to get out before the store closes and have to spend the night as window display -- much to the delight of drunken Arthur Housman, who keeps an unsteady vigil on a nearby fire hydrant. In her fourth comedy opposite the vivacious Thelma Todd after replacing ZaSu Pitts, Patsy Kelly had already become a veteran in the style of timeless humor favored by the Hal Roach company. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

To prepare him for her, the female cousin makes it seem as if they are wealthy, but unfortunately, it doesn't work. With the small amount of left over cash, plus the little they made from hocking the furniture, the two open a restaurant in the mansion. In the end, the male cousin and socialite get married anyway. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Bottoms Up
In his only musical-comedy appearance, Spencer Tracy stars as fast-buck promoter Smoothie King. Our hero's latest scam is to pass off Hollywood extra Wanda Gale (Pat Patterson) and forger Limey Brook (Herbert Mundin) as British nobility, getting both of them prestigious jobs at a movie studio. Eventually Wanda becomes a big star, falling out of love with Smoothie along the way in favor of her leading man Hal Reed (John Boles). But Smoothie takes it all in stride; after all, there's still a world full of chumps and suckers, ripe for fleecing. Future film producer Harold Hecht handled the choreography, while the songs were provided by such noteworthies as Harold Adamson, Burton Lane, Richard Whiting and Gus Kahn. The slaphappy screenplay for Bottoms Up was a joint effort by producer B. G. DeSylva, director David Butler and Tracy's comedy-relief co-star Sid Silvers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cockeyed Cavaliers
Considered by many to be the best of the many Bert Wheeler-Robert Woolsey vehicles of the 1930s, Cockeyed Cavaliers is set in Merrie Olde England, where the comic-opera ambience is immediately established when a Walter Winchellesque town crier (Franklin Pangborn) sings the local gossip. Bert and Bob play a pair of wandering indigents who are constantly in trouble because of Bert's chronic kleptomania. "My doctor tells me it's a sickness," he explains." Bob: "Well, why don't you take something for it?" Bert: "I've already taken everything." Bert's latest bit of unintentional larceny earns the boys a few hours in the local pillory, where the villagers pelt them with vegetables until they are rescued by a feisty young boy. Unbeknownst to our heroes, the "boy" is beautiful young Mary Ann (Dorothy Lee), who has disguised herself to escape an arranged marriage with the gross and gouty Duke of Weskit (Robert Grieg). Stopping over at a local inn, Bert, Bob and the in-drag Marian make the acquaintance of a lusty Baron (Noah Beery), who celebrates his recent hunting trip in song. Forced to make a quick getaway when the local constable shows up, Bert and Bob "borrow" the clothes of a pair of drunken royal physicians (Snub Pollard and Jack Norton) and escape in the doctors' coach, with Mary Ann still in tow. Following the instructions found in the coach, the boys stop over at the home of the Duke of Weskit, obliging Mary Ann to remain in disguise. Bert and Bob ingratiate themselves with the Duke by curing his stomach ache (using a horse-doctor book!), while Bob tries to make time with Weskit's gorgeous niece Lady Genevieve (Thelma Todd) -- never dreaming that "Genny" is the wife of the irascible Baron whom they previously met at the inn. All sorts of double-entendre nonsense ensues before Bert and Bob save themselves from the Baron's jealous wrath by capturing an elusive wild boar, a contingency that also permits Bert to wed Mary Ann, whose true identity has finally been revealed. Elaborately produced on leftover sets from RKO Radio's The Little Minister, Cockeyed Cavaliers is a gem of a comedy, filled to overflowing with clever dialogue and hilarious sight gags. Musical highlights include the novelty song "I Went Hunting (And the Big Bad Wolf is Dead)" and the delightful "Dilly Dally." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Take the Stand
A story by Earl Derr Biggers, of Charlie Chan fame, was the springboard for the Monogram melodrama Take the Stand. An abrasive Winchell-type columnist (Jack LaRue) manages to accumulate dozens of enemies, at least one of whom has murder on the mind. While many of the victims of the journalist's vitriol are gathered in his outer office, he is heard delivering his nightly radio broadcast, when suddenly he cries "Don't shoot" -- and a shot is fired. The detective (Russell Hopton) can't figure out "who done it" since all the suspects have air-tight alibis: nor can he run a ballistics test, since there isn't any bullet. The solution to the mystery is one which would be recycled numerous times in the future, most memorably by the Dick Tracy comic strip. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bum Voyage
This average two-reel comedy starring the team of Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly featured an encounter with Charles Gemora and his famous gorilla suit. Coming across a pair of free steamship tickets, the girls look forward to a pleasant journey, until, that is, they learn that they have to share a cabin with a gorilla. Charles Gemora, a stunt man hailing from the Philippines, made a living renting out his fairly realistic gorilla suit (with himself inside) to mostly Poverty Row producers. Appearing in the suit in such films as Murder in the Rue Morgue (1932) and Swiss Miss (1938), Gemora popularized the inaccurate notion that gorillas walked upright. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Todd and Kelly was sort of a distaff Laurel and Hardy and very popular in their day. Done in Oil also featured Arthur Housman doing his famous drunk act, Leo White, William Wagner, and Rolfe Sedan. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Hips, Hips, Hooray
With notable exceptions of Diplomaniacs and Cockeyed Cavaliers, Hips Hips Hooray must rank as the best of RKO-Radio's Bert Wheeler & Robert Woolsey vehicles. Bert and Bob are cast Andy Williams (sic) and Doc Dudley, sidewalk peddlers specializing in flavored lipstick. Falling in love with fashion model Daisy Maxell (Dorothy Lee), Andy offers to teach his and Doc's surefire sales techniques to Daisy's boss Amelia Frisby (Thelma Todd), owner of Maiden America Cosmetics. This requires our two heroes to pose as Big Businessmen, which they do by "borrowing" the office of investment executive Mr. Clark (Spencer Charters). When Clark returns from a wild-goose chase concocted by Doc Dudley, Andy and Doc beat a hasty retreat, inadvertently grabbing a bagful of Clark's money and leaving their sample case behind. Accused of thievery, the boys escape to Kansas but redeem themselves when they accidentally enter a cross-country auto race and drive Maiden America's car to victory. Hips Hips Hooray is a delightfully risque and boundlessly inventive effort, highlighted by two of the finest songs ever to come out of a Wheeler-Woolsey epic: Kalmar and Ruby's "Keep Romance Alive" (sung by Ruth Etting) and "Keep on Doin' What You're Doin' (originally written for Zeppo Marx in 1933's Duck Soup!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Maids a la Mode
The two-reel comedy team of Thelma Todd and ZaSu Pitts play store clerks, who instead of delivering a couple of dresses to a customer wear them to a swanky society party. Todd, blonde and vivacious, and Pitts, dowdy and nervous, came close to emulating the success of Laurel and Hardy, though it helped immeasurably, it should be said, to have director Gus Meins and such supporting players as Billy Gilbert, Harry Bernard, Charlie Hall, and the pompous Kay Deslys. ~ Hans J.

One Track Minds
In their final two-reel comedy, the team of blonde and vivacious Thelma Todd and dowdy and fluttery ZaSu Pitts go Hollywood when Todd is offered a chance to star for director Von Sternheim at the Roaring Lion Studios. (Although produced by Hal Roach, the Todd-Pitts comedies were distributed by MGM). On their way West, the girls wreck an entire train car and Thelma misses her one opportunity for stardom. Little Spanky McFarland took time off from the Our Gang set next door to appear with Todd and Pitts in their final comedy. Veteran comedienne ZaSu Pitts left Roach for feature work, but, happily, the studio found the perfect replacement in caustic Patsy Kelly, who had been discovered in the hit Broadway musical Flying Colors. ~ Hans J.

Sitting Pretty
No relation to the identically-titled Clifton Webb film of 1948, Harry Joe Brown's Sitting Pretty is a breezy comedy about the early/middle 1930s musical boom in Hollywood, and a pair of songwriters, composer Chick Parker Jack Oakie and lyricist Pete Pendleton Jack Haley, who head west in search of success. Chick is a smooth operator and an eternal optimist, always ready with a joke and willing to bet his (or Pete's) bankroll on a hard eight; Pete is a wide-eyed innocent, always coming up short from Chick's antics but willing to stick with him, mostly because he genuinely likes him (and besides, Chick's goofy but memorable tunes all seem to fit Pete's equally loopy lyrics, and the results are memorable novelty tunes). All isn't smooth on their trek, hitchhiking across the country -- a run-in with an asylum resident on furlough who thinks he's in the movie business convinces them that they have a studio job; and then a bad check from the same man causes them to cross paths with aspiring dancer Dorothy (Ginger Rogers), who is as charming as her younger brother Buzz (Jerry Tucker) is nasty and cynical. The pair parlays a run-in with their landlord (Gregory Ratoff), who also happens to be a talent agent, into a studio invitation and a job. And that puts Chick into the arms of star/vamp Gloria Duvall (Thelma Todd), who's too much woman for any man to handle. She quickly convinces Chick that he should leave Pete and Dorothy behind for a chance at real success. Soon Chick is back almost where he started, but Pete and Dorothy stick by him till he wises up. And with Gloria out of the way, all of their problems are soon sorted out, though not exactly the way Chick expects. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Adapted from the play by Elmer Rice, Counsellor-at-Law is the story of a successful Jewish lawyer George Simon (John Barrymore) who finds it's lonely at the top. Simon's wife (Doris Kenyon) and children look down upon him because of his humble upbringings, while his mother reprimands him for turning his back on his heritage. Simon is threatened with disbarment when a rival digs up a big wormy can of legal wrongdoing in Simon's past, but this is only the beginning of the end. When the beleaguered lawyer discovers that his wife has been unfaithful, he looks out the window of his Empire State Building office and contemplates suicide. Simon is brought to his senses by his faithful secretary (Bebe Daniels), who has loved him all along. Filled with vivid character vignettes and blessed with energetic direction by William Wyler, Counsellor-at-Law is one of the best "lawyer" films of the 1930s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Son of a Sailor
Joe E. Brown is a sailor who hopes to match the accomplishments of his seaman father. Unfortunately, Joe is perhaps the clumsiest gob ever to sail the seven seas. Nor can he steer clear of trouble: Through a series of wholly unbelievable circumstances, Joe finds himself alone on deck of a ship that's about to be shelled for target practice. He redeems himself for this and all past misdeeds when he inadvertently breaks up an espionage ring. Son of a Sailor is typical Joe E. Brown fare, but it's the sort of surefire material the public craved; indeed, at least one theatre manager insisted that Warner Bros. (Brown's home studio) send him more of the same. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
