Cheating Blondes / Cheers of the Crowd

Suspected of shooting a lecherous neighbor, factory worker Anne (Thelma Todd) goes on the lam and winds up taking the place of her twin sister Elaine, a nightclub dancer, on the stage. Meanwhile, a newspaper reporter whose proposal Anne once spurned stops at nothing to find her. Ralf Harolde, Inez Courtney, and Mae Busch co-star in the sordid suspense drama "Cheating Blondes." Then, "Cheers of the Crowd" finds a theatrical press agent trying to save a Broadway show with a gimmick in which a man returns a bag of lost cash to the police. Problem is, the pal he picks to play the "hero" is wanted by the law. Russell Hopton, Harry Holman, Irene Ware star. 111 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
