Motion Picture, New York, June 1936.

The Jack Oakies attended the Mac Donald-Raymond and

Pickford-Rogers nuptials. And Jack wore tails instead of a sweater.

& Frank Morgan looks more distinguished every day. Mr. and

Mrs. Jack Oakie do all right by themselves, too.

& Right to the center table marches Mrs. Oakie, stopping

here and there to sign autographs. Only way Jack

gets any attention these days, is by being nice to „Ma.“

(...) Photo, Photoplay, January 1934

& Jack Oakie, who was supposed to be washed

up in Hollywood, is making as many pictures

now as at any time in his career. He has just signed

a three-picture-a-year contract with Twentieth

Century-Fox. And I have a hunch Jack will still be making

movies when most of the current crop of young

leading men have been forgotten.

(...) Spokesman-Review, Oct. 25, 1940

& Jack Oakie is also a Missourian, the blessed event having

occurred at Sedalia. He migrated to New York City and

got a job in Wall Street, where his wisecracks came to the

attention of some of the big pantaloons of his office.

„With his amorita to their first dance“

Editorial content. „THE BACHELOR boys of Hollywood who

have frowned on matrimony are beginning to listen

to the pit-a-pattings of their hearts. One of the last ,give-inners‘

or ,fancy-freers‘ to tell it to a judge (the marrying kind)

is the rollicking, round-about-the-townish Jack Oakie whom

everyone thought was immune to playing the rôle

of bread-winner. So what? So this: one can build up to an

awful letdown for just so long, and then comes a day

when the letdown slips into reverse. Jack‘s heart shifted gears

into high – and when he met Venita Varden there weren‘t

any detours on the way to the altar.

      Then there‘s Charlie Chaplin who, while he has been

reported married to Paulette Goddard for a year

or three, is now being reported as very attentive to her – with

the attentiveness of a love-sick swain arm-in-arming

it with his amorita to their first dance.“ (...)

      Jack Oakie will be seen in The Great Dictator as Mussolini

      (called Napaloni, Dictator of Bacteria).
