 Captain January (1936) - Shirley Temple
Previously filmed as a vehicle for Baby Peggy Montgomery in 1922, Laura E. Richard's Captain January was warmed up as a Shirley Temple picture 14 years later.
Temple plays Star, a child of divorce who is looked after by crusty-but-lovable lighthouse keeper Captain January (Guy Kibbee).
Truant officer Agatha Morgan (Sara Haden) determines that the Captain is not providing Star with suitable surroundings or a proper education, and before long our sobbing heroine is whisked away to a boarding school.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: 42nd Street
A Warner Brothers stock player, his size (the man was round, but not obese), his hairstyle (balding), and his ability to play befuddlement made him a perfect scene-stealing ace, often assigned roles as lawyers.
Directed by Lloyd Bacon, for the first 70 minutes it's a fast paced, Depression-era, pre-Code comedy where everyone is struggling (except Kibbee), and the libidinous aspects of the characters interests are put front and center, with rehearsals the only sign of singing and dancing.
But for the film's final reel, it's a Busby Berkeley show — he designed and staged the musical numbers — and the picture finishes with three zingers in a row: "Shuffle off to Buffalo," "Young and Healthy," and the title song.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Footlight Parade
And that's nothing against Berkeley regulars like Joan Blondell or Guy Kibbee, it's just Cagney's performance (at the time against-type casting for the former Public Enemy) enlivens the material with one of the screen's best actors, which sets it apart from the rest.
Cagney stars as Chester Kent, who is struggling during the Depression and decides to sell revues to as many theaters as he can at a reduced rate, just as supermarkets reduce their rate by selling in bulk.
Getting new numbers is always a hassle, and there's a spy stealing Kent's material, while his partners (including Guy Kibbee) are bilking Kent of his due.

 Biography for Milton Kibbee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Entering motion pictures in 1933, two years after his better-known brother Guy Kibbee, Milton's actual appearances in film were triple those of Guy.
Whereas Guy, the well-known-and-loved character actor was cast in 115 movies, (several of which had significant third or fourth billing roles), Milton appeared in 365 films and smallscreen roles, a rare accomplishment.
Milton, plodding faithfully along and often uncredited, set a high standard for loyalty to one's profession as a reliable character actor and, when needed,a bit actor, in films ranging from early Talkies and pre-Golden Age films, up to modern movies and much smallscreen work into the early 1950's.

Joe E. Brown was an ideal choice for the character of Alexander Botts, the brash, arrogant "natural born salesman" created for The Saturday Evening Post by William Hazlett Upton.
As a representative for the Earthworm Tractor company, Botts tries to convince old-fashioned lumberman Guy Kibbee to buy his newfangled products.
Several disastrous slapstick sequences later (including an hilarious setpiece in which Botts unwittingly tows away Kibbee's entire house!), Botts closes the deal, winning the hand of Kibbee's daughter June Travis in the process.

I have sources that tell me a film was made 10 years later that depicted the Republican as a good guy, but I could not verify it.
Smith Goes to Washington" is the last big screen film in which the Democrat was the bad guy, and even then it is only inferred.
In Capra's classic, a Midwestern political machine based on the corrupt Democrat organization in Kansas City that Harry Truman rose to power in, is exposed by an idealistic young Senator (Stewart).

Cast: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Lionel Atwill, Basil Rathbone, Ross Alexander, Guy Kibbee, Henry Stephenson, Robert Barrat, Hobart Cavanaugh and Donald Meek
Conveying emotion in big, broad strokes and through buoyant, lithesome physicality, Flynn—shot in light almost as downy as that which envelops de Havilland—dominates Curtiz's frequently overcrowded and busy frame like a shining sword cutting through the fog.
Yet even if Captain Blood often seems overloaded with too much time-consuming exposition and unfunny peripheral characters (including those played by Ross Alexander, Guy Kibbee, Henry Stephenson, and Robert Barrat), Flynn's wicked, wicked charm helps keep this high seas adventure afloat.

It is a script that relies wholly on dialogue to progress the plot.
Its plot centers on director Julian Marsh (played with a world-weary despair extending down to his shoelaces by Baxter) who gets backing from a wealthy industrialist (Guy Kibbee) to put on a Broadway musical starring Kibbee's girlfriend (played by Bebe Daniels).
During the show's out-of-town tryout Daniels breaks her ankle and the "star is born" plot convention with Ruby Keeler foams into full frothiness, with Keeler dancing her way stardom and into Dick Powell's heart.
