The most fundamental human emotions are convincingly portrayed against the solid background of good Connecticut farm soil in "The Wedding Night." Gary Cooper, Anna Sten, Helen Vinson, and Tarka, a Chinese cook, all take full advantage of good parts.

Cooper is an author who returns to the ancestral mansion in Connecticut after failing in New York. In the Polacks, frugal tobacco farmers who have turned the supposedly useless valley into a gold mine, he finds many new things, new inspiration, new power, and, incidentally, a new love in Anna Sten who will make a good wife because she can "work like two womans." Tarka finds himself in the mood to write the following note. "Not like snow. Very sorry. Not like Connecticut. Me go. Very sorry. Tarka."

So Tarka goes, leaving the big house empty for Cooper and Sten to utilize in falling in love. When Cooper's wife returns the harm is already done. There is a surprising tragic end which we wont spoil for you.

"Society Doctor" idealizes the American Medical Man in reasonable proportions. Chester Morris, Virginia Bruce, and Robert Taylor are all good. All the sham and hypocrisy of society doctoring is roundly denounced by Young Surgeon Morris who keeps up with his profession to the extent of knowing all about the brand new Steiglitz Abdominal Technique. The plot is cleverer than the average, and is sufficient to hold up an overemphasized character. The scenes all take place within the hospital, and are of a much wider range than one would imagine. There are shysters, big shot gangsters, unfortunate policemen, handsome doctors, ugly, bad doctors, pretty, good nurses, and beautiful, bad nurses, a wealthy widow who merely thinks she's ill, and newspaper reporters who know just exactly how to talk to the information nurse.

In the last scene Morris supervises an operation on his own punctured viscera, an operation which only can be successful through the new Steiglitz Technique. It was light, and frankly, we found it a very satisfying picture.
