Jack Oakie and Borden Dairy's glamour cow, Elsie, were grafted onto Louisa May Alcott's actionless story about a country school. The result is a slow-moving film chiefly notable for a few scenes of clever Oakie slapstick and a bovine romance, between Elsic and the bellowing bull down the road. Hopelessly bogged down by poor script and a bustle, Kay Francis gives a mediocre performance as Jo.

Second feature, "One Night in the Tropics," has only two excuses for being produced. One of these, Jerome Kern's new numbers, is a pretty poor excuse. Comedy team Abbot and Costello, however, offer a few bright spots in an otherwise dull picture. Just as clever but not nearly so frank as in Gypsy Rose Lee's World Fair show, the two funsters show good Hollywood possibilities. The program as a whole, though, is a fair side order and a poor main dish.
