CALIFORNIA Ten Second Reviews The Age For Love Billie Dove returns to the screen — lovelier than ever, and a better actress — as a woman who wants to have both a career and a home-life. Billie enlivens an overworked story. (U. A.J Alexander Hamilton George Arliss takes the part of a young man — and scores his greatest triumph. He is the young hero of Colonial history whose life was filled with drama and intrigue. (YV. B.) An American Tragedy Theodore Dreiser's powerful novel about weak youth loses some of its force in its screen version, but should not be missed. Phillips Holmes is a bit wooden as the hero; Sylvia Sidney is very real as his victim. (Par.) The Arizona Terror Ken Maynard pursues— and gets pursued — all over the landscape, with the result you expect. Just another Western. (Tiffany) Bad Girl Vina Delmar's story of the young couple whose love was almost wrecked by parenthood becomes a moving little movie, in which Sally Eilers is the girl and James Dunn— a sensational newcomer — is the young husband. (Fox) The Bargain Lewis Stone changes jobs with his son (John Darrow), and each learns he has made a mistake. Interesting, but slow. (F. N.) The Big Gamble A racketeer makes Bill Boyd insure himself for a big sum, and then gives him a year to live. Thrills from start to finish. (RKO-Pathe) Blonde Crazy James Cagney and Joan Blondell team up to part the trusting from their cash, and the result is a crook picture that's both dramatic and amusing and has a courageous ending. (W. B.) The Brat Sally O'Neil, away from the screen two years, makes a spirited comeback as the street waif who reforms the wealthy family that adopts her. (Fox) Business and Pleasure A Yankee steel magnate goes abroad and has some far-fetched adventures. Not up to Will Rogers' usual standard. (Fox) A Dangerous Affair Jack Holt and Ralph Graves get together and treat you to a melodrama that has everything from comedy to thrills. One is a police lieutenant and the other a reporter — and they're out to solve a murder mystery. (Col.) Daughter of the Dragon Dr. Fit Manchu passes on, but leaves his daughter to carry out a bit of vengeance. Notable chiefly because it brings back Chinese Anna May Wong and ' Japanese Sessue Hayakawa. (Par.) The Dreyfus Case The most sensational treason case in modern history becomes the subject of an absorbing picture. Made in England, with Cedric Hardwicke a realistic Dreyfus. (Col.) East of Borneo A cast-off wife follows her physician-husband to the South Seas, and there attracts the attention of a native prince. Spectacular jungle melodrama, featuring Rose Hobart and Charles Bickford. (Univ.) Expensive Women Surprising the customers, Dolores Costello briefly returns to the screen as a glamorous woman of affairs. (W. B.) Fanny Foley, Herself Edna May Oliver as a vaudeville headliner whose two daughters are a bit ashamed of her. More heart-throbs than humor, which isn't what you expect. All in color. (RKO) Fifty Fathoms Deep Adventure far below sea level, with Jack Holt and Richard Cromwell involved. Unusual. (Col.) Five-Star Final Exposing the methods that scandal sheets sometimes use to boost their circulations. Powerful and bitter, with Edward G. Robinson convincing as an editor who swallows his conscience. (F. N.) Friends and Lovers Lily Damita, Adolphe Menjou, Eric von Stroheim and Laurence Olivier (a promising newcomer) try to settle that bothersome question: Is friendship between men stronger than love for a woman ? Jumbled melodrama. (RKO) The Gay Diplomat The old story of the intriguing adventurer, played with a bit more dash than usual by Ivan Lebedeff. (RKO) Graft Regis Toomey, as a cub reporter, solves a murder mystery and ends a political scandal. It moves fast. (Univ.) The Guardsman The most sophisticated comedy of the year, and boasting the best acting. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, from the stage, enact the story of the jealous husband who disguised himself and made love to his own wife. (M-G-M) Guilty Hands Executing a "perfect" crime, Lionel Barrymore almost gets away with it. Packed with suspense, with an ending that will tear you out of your seat. (M-G-M) Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain's great story of boyhood suffers considerable revision, but Junior Durkin and Jackie Coogan manage to make it entertaining just the same. (Par.) I Like Your Nerve Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., down in Central America, kidnaps a girl who has already been kidnaped. Breezier than young Doug's usual roles — and, on the whole, disappointing. (F. N.) Lasca of the Rio Grande A triangle story built around a Mexican dancer, a Texas ranger, and a mucho bad Mexican. There's more local color than excitement, and only Dorothy Burgess stands out. (Univ.) The Last Flight Four ex-aviators try to forget the war in company with Helen Chandler. Three meet with accidents, until only Richard Barthelmess is left. It might have been an excellent study of post-war emotions if it hadn't become a melodrama. (F. N.) The Mad Genius Again, John Barrymore hides that romantic profile, appearing this time as a bitter, crippled dancing master who wrecks the lives of two young lovers. Sombre, but fascinating. (W. B.) The Mad Parade A glimpse of women in the front-line trenches, with nary a man in sight. Unusual, but unreal. Evelyn Brent, Louise Fazenda and Irene Rich top the cast. (Par.) Merely Mary Ann Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell'in a little opus about a boarding-house maid-of-all-work and a struggling young composer. For those who like their movies sentimental. (Fox) Murder at Midnight Alice White returns to the screen in a small role in this mystery thriller, in which there are four murders — no more, no less. (Tiffany) My Sin Tallulah Bankhead struggles with another trite story (this time about a lady with a dance-hall past) and proves she is one of the screen's best actresses. (Par.) Pagan Lady As a Havana barmaid who teams up with rumrunner Charles Bickford, instead of missionary Conrad Nagel, Evelyn Brent does a potent bit of smoldering. (Col.) Penrod and Sam Two typical American youngsters, as imagined by Booth Tarkington and played by Leon Janney and Junior Coghlan. As human as it is humorous. (F. N.) Personal Maid Nancy Carroll rises above her surroundings despite the fact that she listens to her conscience. Nancy is much better than the story. (Par.) The Phantom of Paris Wearing a Van Dyke beard and doing all sorts of other mvsterious things, John Gilbert makes this his best talkie. (M-G-M) 78
