Movie Review from New York Times by Mordaunt Hall B.R.C. (Published: November 27, 1933):



Take a Chance (1933)

James Dunn, Lillian Roth and June Knight in a Film of the Musical Comedy 'Take a Chance.'



For those who are partial to a melange of melody, rowdy fun and wild adventures, there is, at the Paramount, Laurence
Schwab's own picturization of his successful musical comedy, "Take a Chance." It is a passable affair of its
type and some of the participants, including James Dunn, Cliff Edwards, Lillian Roth, June Knight and Charles (Buddy)
Rogers, succeed in being quite entertaining in their respective roles.



"Take a Chance" has several good ideas, but it is quite obvious that they are not set forth as well in the
film as they were on the stage. There is no denying, however, that this screen work has speed and a certain rhythm. It
is the sort of diversion which leaps from romantic pickpockets to backstage bickering and then tumbles into a variety of
numbers as they are set forth in a tuneful footlights show for the edification of a most enthusiastic screen audience
composed of extras. And, as everybody knows by this time, there is no gathering which is quite as appreciative as the
one Hollywood pays to applaud.



Mr. Dunn plays Duke Stanley, a man who evidently has a heart. He is, moreover, an expert in the questionable art of
picking pockets and he is supposed to render true service at the psychological moment to a musical extravaganza. Cliff
Edwards appears as Louie Webb, who is not presumed to be overburdened with brains. Duke is a wit when it comes to
barking for a carnival show, but he is a numbskull when in the presence of the flaxen-haired Toni Ray, who is portrayed
by June Knight.



Any idea of attempting to follow this story might easily result in one becoming as addle-brained as are some of the
characters. It is best to take the songs such as "Eadie Was a Lady" or "Its Only a Paper Moon"
without giving any thought to the progress of the narrative. Both these numbers, and also others, are neatly staged and
adequately rendered, especially Miss Roth's singing of the late lamented Eadie, who rather reminds one of Service's
"Lady Known as Lou."



Mr. Dunn undoubtedly reveals an aptitude for such musical affairs. He speaks his lines as though they sprang from his
mind and he is constantly on the alert to add to the interest of his scenes. What more can one ask of him? Mr. Rogers
dawdles through his role, except when he has the opportunity to give a rascal a blow which has about the same effect as
one from Max Baer. Miss Knight is attractive and moderately effective. As for Mr. Edwards, he is sufficiently wide-eyed
to arouse laughter at times, but his part, except for a sequence toward the end, is merely verbose.



The picture is handsomely staged and there are several scenes with graceful and lithe dancing girls.



On the Paramount Stage.



The delicious drolleries of Jimmy Savo, a clown of the first magnitude, dominate the stage show at the Paramount Theatre
this week. Mr. Savo works with a studied thoughtlessness that has all the charm of a continuous improvisation. He knows
when to strike; when to efface himself; when to leave the stage altogether; and how to get the maximum effect out of a
sudden, unheralded return. The Lathrop Brothers and Betty Jane Cooper are smart tap-dancers and the Uierios are better
than average acrobats. Ed Sullivan, a Broadway columnist, is also included on the bill.



TAKE A CHANCE, an adaptation of the musical comedy of the same title; music and lyrics by Jay Gorney, Lou Alter, Herman
Hupfeld, E. Y. Harburg, Billy Rose and Arthur Swanstrom; directed by Laurence Schwab and Monte Brice; released by
Paramount. At the Times Square and Brooklyn Paramounts.

Trivia: "Take a Chance" opened at the Apollo Street Theater on November 26, 1932 with Ethel Merman and ran for
243 performances.



Note: In the film look for a young, flirtatious Vivian Vance (Ethel Mertz) in the "Eadie Was a Lady" number. I
swear Dorothy Lee 'bout broke something with her swivel hips. And Cliff Edwards roped my heart with his endearing
"Night Owl" song. In the short Marjorie Main (pre-Ma Kettle) from Arizona smokes a cigar and makes some kind
of statement about women and their coronas (?), while Shirley Temple proclaims "Down with spinach!"
