The Child's Theatrical Movie :;i iitelligently assert that the modern od is not the desirable achievement, this need not include that ugly know- agressiveness and man-of-the-world uation expressed by lifted eye- vs and shrugged shoulders that red Jackie in "Peck's Bad Boy" and ley Barry in his later development, e must keep our juvenile actors un- hed by the cheap sneers of modern sms and the overbearing type of self- dence that can, in the long run, 2 only undesirable personalities of 1. TLE LORD FAUNTLEROY is film, reviewed in the January issue, is re- el here because it is one of the feature pro- ons preeminently adequate for any child's imption. I have never seen a Pickford film was not desirable for children; this might have been made for the kiddies only. 0 and AMONG THOSE PRESENT 3Ugh not understanding all the connotations s read into such situations, the humor of two Lloyd comedies is active and whole- , entirely within the child's comprehension. A PRINCE THERE WAS For the youngsters of the upper grades this picture is quietly steady in Mr. Meighan's role of gentleman fairy. Miss Harris is unconvincing but the eighth grader will see only the too-good- to-be-true publication of the heroine's story; the fourth grader will recognize those qualities of humanness in the hero that brings the little scrub girl a huge doll and many moments of compan- ionship. In short, though not particularly valu- able, A Prince There Was is still a feature that will have no undesirable effect on any child. MY BOY This film is reviewed at length in the adult department. But warning here! Don't let the kiddies miss it. Jackie is too gallant and cottrteous a laddie to pass unwitnessed. A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN THE COURT OF KING ARTHUR For children this film has several desirable appeals. The upper grade will get the full sig- nificance of the "preanachronism" humor. The middle grades, though losing certain implications will enjoy that same humor in its concrete mani- festations. For the youngest child there is the healthy excitement of th« struggle between a wicked queen and a jaunty American leading plumed knights astride motorcycles! TWO MINUTES TO GO Charles Ray is always a safe, clean gamble for the kiddies. This film is no exception. Did You Miss The Important Page? (No. 1)
