Cinema: The New Pictures: Sep. 19, 1938

(3 of 3)

As further advantages over other specimens of collegiate musicomedy, My Lucky Star has exterior shots of unusual charm, four new Gordon & Revel songs, an energetic young cast including Eccentric Dancer Buddy Ebsen, Richard Greene, Cesar Romero and Louise Hovick. Cinemaddicts who believe that women afflicted by facial abnormalities should try to minimize them will be less favorably impressed by a young comedienne, Joan Davis, whose employers apparently consider her a rival to Paramount's Martha Raye. Most gruesome shot: Miss Davis flattening her Durantesque nose against a windowpane.
