Gold Diggers of Broadway Reviews
It seems remote and artificial, without the saving grace of formality and its laughter belongs to a type which, like that of "The Coconuts" and "Rio Rita" leaves me unfired.

It is a production which everyone should see, for it represents the latest word in the fast-moving progress of the new show world of the screen and provides the most lavish, beautiful and satisfying entertainment the screen has yet offered.

All in all, this makes merry talkie-singie-dancie fare and the beauty of its color again reaches pictorial splendor.

Ann Pennington's dancing. Lilyan Tashman's "English" drawl. Miss Foster's rather winning, sweetness, and Gertrude Short's occasionally amusing comments are other facets of interest in a picture that Is light and diverting.

Gold Diggers of Broadway lacks the human quality that On With the Show had, and the acting is stilted, except for that of Albert Gran, Lilyan Tashman and Conway Tearle.

It is filmed entirely In technicolor, and the picture has a vivid reality and charm which a plain black and white photoplay does not possess.

Gold Diggers of Broadway is set off by some of the most gorgeous stage trappings that have been seen in these parts for a long time, and it is these settings which give the picture a certain visual beauty.

The musical score is well above the average of other revusical talkies to date and we have no hesitancy in predicting that "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine," and "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" will soon be among the country's major radio evils.

Ann Pennington, the same as ever, dances a bit, and talks a bit, and lends the prestige of her presence

Winnie Lightner as Mable is the hit of the show with her excellent voice, her gags and her forgotten monologue that is a comedy classic.

Gold Diggers of Broadway has enough plot to keep it interesting. It has good, fast action, excellent comedy and musical numbers that are tuneful enough to justify all the technicolored spectacle used in presenting them.

Easily the best of the musical revue pictures to date.

Carrying a clever cast of stage entertainers who handle the roles of the interesting plot effectively, Gold Diggers of Broadway, an all-talking, all-color film, should please all theatergoers who like photoplays of the stage and stageplayers.
