Calling Harold Waldridge

I first became aware of Harold Waldridge (1900-1957) from the 1932 comedy The Heart of New York, in which Waldridge and Ruth Hall play George Sidney’s fun-loving, bratty teenage kids. This movie is precious to me for being a rare feature with major roles for the great vaudeville comedy team of Smith and Dale. Waldridge was born in New Orleans. His father, Ernest Waldridge, wrote for the New…

Movie #2 from the 'William Powell at Warner Bros.' All very early 1930s movies, in the DVD set. Another short film, only 74 minutes long. These were the days where you might see 2-3 films, in one show, plus a cartoon and newsreel and a short subject. Lots of the movies from these days were under 80 minutes, some under 70 minutes. Warner Bros. really cranked them out, lots and lots of movies, every year. They worked their contract players hard. As a result, not all of the WB content from these days is all that memorable or great, but still entertaining. I have watched a lot of the early WB stuff. I own the autographs of Guy Kibbee and Frank McHugh. This is a pretty good film, better than some of this era that I have seen. My local library got me this DVD set.

Evelyn Brent as Francine Dale

George Sidney as Ginsburg

John Wray as Jimmy Moore, Gar's lawyer

Evalyn Knapp as Helen Wilson

Guy Kibbee as Clifford Gray

Frank McHugh as Mike Donahey

Oscar Apfel as Mr. Hackett, from the Better Business Bureau

Harold Waldridge as Gus Vanderbilt, hired solely for his impressive last name

Charles Middleton as Mr. Banks

Harry Beresford as Dr. Rudolph Pfeiffer

High Pressure (1932): For his very next film Powell had a much better script. This time he plays Gar Evans, a 'promoter.' Gar can take any product or idea and get people interested in it. A half con man, half shyster, and all salesman, Gar is approached by Colonel Ginsburg (George Sidney) to help him start a company to cash in on a new process he's just purchased: a way to turn raw sewage into rubber. After Gar's friend assures him that Ginsburg is on the level (Gar would never promote anything that wasn't honest and legal), he gets the ball rolling. They start the "Golden Gate Artificial Rubber Company," lease a floor in a New York high rise (for half price once Gar convinces the manager into name the building after the company... after all it'll put the building on the map!) and hire an army of salesmen to sell stock in the company. Everything is going well, until a lawyer from the established rubber companies demands to see a sample of their product. When Ginsburg can't find the inventor and no one can decode his formula, things start to look really bad for the unflappable Mr. Evans.'
