Modern Screen THE SQUAW MAN (M-G-M) — A talkie revival of tlie old-time story. Warner Baxter, Eleanor Boardman, Lupe Velez and Charles Bickford are in it, among others. Very good — children will like parts of it. THE STAR WITNESS (First National)— Story of a family who were terrorized because they had witnessed a gangster's murder and the gangsters were atraid they'd be testified againstj Chic Sale's performance as the old grandfather who defies the gangsters is magnificent. Excellent— okay for children. STREET SCENE (United Artists)— Reviewed on page 57. Excellent, but not good talkie fare for children. SUSAN LENOX, HER FALL AND RISE (M-G-M) — Reviewed on page 56. Excellent, but the children would be bored by it. SVENGALI (Warner)— "Trilby" in the talkies. John Barrymore plays Svengali and Marian Marsh, Trilby. Very good — but children won't know what it's all about. SWEEPSTAKES (RKO-Pathe)— Racetrack story with Eddie Qui Ban playing the honest jockey who appears to be dishonest. Fair — children will go for it. TABU (Paramount) — Fascinating picture showing life in the South Seas. Very good — children will like it. THI6 MODERN AGE (M-G-M)— Joan Crawford once more becomes the jazz-mad girl. Poor. TOO MANY COOKS (RKO-Radio)— Robert Woolsey without Bert Wheeler. Poor — children may like it. TRANSATLANTIC (Fox) — A big-hearted gentlemancrook aboard a liner — and how he affects the lives of some people aboard. Edmund Lowe is the gentlemanly-crook. Very good — suitable for children. TRAVELING HUSBANDS (RKO-Radio)— In spite of the husbands this in an effective murder melodrama with Frank Albert son and Evelyn Brent. Very good — children will be thrilled by it. THE UNHOLY GARDEN (United Artists)— Ronald Colman's latest is hardly more than a program picture. The star, however, with his usual charm, makes the leading character fascinating. Very good — children will be thrilled. WATERLOO BRIDGE (Universal)— Reviewed on page 58. Excellent, but not for the little ones. A WOMAN OF EXPERIENCE (RKO-Pathe)— Helen Tvvelvetrees gives up her accustomed little girl roles and becomes a cagey spy in this one. Perhaps it would have been better if they had left her in the little girl roles and given the role to someone like Dietrich. Poor. WOMEN GO ON FOREVER (Tiffany)— A story laid in a boarding house and which includes the nefarious schemes of a racketeer in addition to the human interest of the regular boarding house types. Good — harmless for children. WICKED (Fox) — An over-sentimental piece with Elissa Landi doing her best in the leading role. Poor. YOUNG AS YOU FEEL (Fox)— In which Will Rogers, as a successful business man, hits upon a new scheme to interest his pleasure-loving sons in his business. Fifi Dorsay is in it, too. Good— suitable for children. YOUNG DONOVAN'S KID (RKO-Radio)— This is an old-fashioned sort of crook film — but no less good, for all thai. Richard Dix and Jackie Cooper will have you cheering for the way in which they portray their roles. Very good — children will love it.
