Beg, Borrow or Steal (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Frank Morgan, as a "steerer" of European tourists, poses as proprietor of a chateau in order to provide for his visiting daughter, Florence Rice. The dialog is wittier and the characters better rounded than usual in this type of program-filler.

Sh! the Octopus (First National). Hugh Herbert and Allen Jenkins as a pair of dimwit sleuths come to death-grips in a lighthouse with an underworld menace known as The Octopus. Lost documents, a character using a hook instead of a hand, secret stairways, octopus tentacles and poison gas are handled in pseudo-mysterious manner, sometimes reminiscent of George M. Cohan's famed burlesque, The Tavern, sometimes just good-natured hokum.
