Platinum Blonde Jean Harlow likes unusual men — and marries Robt-rt Williams, a breezy reporter, who dws his best to get along with her. Amusing. (Col.) Rebound Ina Claire marries Robert Ames, who also is on the "rebound" from a previous romance — and their (carriage ia One Of Those Thing; itty and nd not for children. (RKO-Pathe) Riders of the Purple Sage A talkative revival of Zane Grey's famous yarn, which has a stampede, a pistol duel in a courtroom, and a forest fire for thrills. George O'Brien is the hard-riding hero. I The Road to Singapore For a change, William Powell is in the South Seas instead of swanky hotels — but he still loves another man's wife (Doris Kenyon this time). Slow, but interesting. (W. B.) Secrets of a Secretary Some more misadventures befall Claudette Colbert on the fringe of society. Not important, but you'll like Claudette— as well as newcomers Herbert • ; II and Georges Metaxa. (Par.) Secret Service Richard Di.x treats you to some mystery and suspense, as only he can do it. Good melodrama. Shanghaied Love If you like blood-and-thunder stories, here's a good one — all about romance and mutiny on a tramp steamer. Richard Cromwell, Sally Blane and Noah Beery are on hand. (Col.) Side Show Substituting for an entire troupe of circus "freaks," Winnie Light ner proves that she's not only a comedienne, but a great mimic. (W. B.) The Sidewalks of New York Buster Keaton, as a well-dressed landlord, tries ct his own rents in a tough tenement district. It's slapstick, but good slapstick. (M-G-M) Silence The story of a man who is silently going to the electric chair for another man's crime, acted out intensely by Clive Brook. (Par.) Smart Woman Mary Astor retrieves her husband from a golddigger, with the help of amusing Edward Everett Horton. Horton saves it from being dull. (RKO) The Sin of Madelon Claudet Helen Hayes, of stage fame, comes to the screen in a sad little story of mother-love. Here is some real acting, if not a great movie. (M-G-M) The Spider While magician Edmun ! I ildtng forth on the stage, a murder occurs in the theater. 11 the mystery with some exciting tricks. (Fox) The Squaw Man Cecil de Mille makes a strong tnlkie of the about the exiled Englishman who "marr: Indian girl. Warner Baxter is fine as the hei Lupe Velez is even better as the tragic, inarticulate ■ ■ The Star Witness A law-abiding family witnesses a gang murder, but are cowed into silence — all exec for all the part is worth by Chic Sale. Th< human gangster picture of all. (W. B.) Street Scene The biggest thing that Hollywood has done since "All Quiet." it's a vivid cross-section of life in a crowded city street, with Sylvia Sidney and I Taylor standing out in a great cast. (U. A.) The Struggle Life among the downtrodden masses, as powerfully depicted by D. W. Griffith, who has gathered together a convincing cast from the stage. You'll like Zita Johann. (U. A.) This Modern Age Handicapped by having an immoral mother, Joan Crawford almost goes to the depths, herself. Joan at her best, perhaps to prove she has outgrown this sort of thing. (M-G-M) The Unholy Garden Ronald Colman returns to the adventure type of story, and you see some entertaining heroism and villainy in a bleak African outpost. (U. A.) Waterloo Bridge The tragic romance of a young soldier and a girl of the London streets, beautifully acted by Kent Douglass and Mae Clarke. One of the year's best pictures. (Univ.) West of Broadway Returning from the war a disillusioned man, John Gilbert marries Lois Moran and almost fails to make the best of his bargain. An odd role for our John. (M-G-M) Wicked Elissa Landi becomes, a mother in prison, has her child taken from her, and then, upon her release, is desperate until she finds the child. The women might enjoy it, but not the men. (Fox) Women Go On Forever Clara Kimball Young, long a star in silent days, returns to the screen in the unexpected role of landlady of a dramatic boarding-house. (Tiffany) Marguerite Churchill doesn't make any claims to being one of the bestdressed women in Hollywood — but there's no reason why she shouldn't. Here's her own idea of a negligee — brocaded georgette, peach shade, and plenty of it. Marguerite has just finished "Ambassador Bill" with Will Rogers Reduce t% Hips often 2 to 4 inches in JO days TSOV can 1 — with the Wi new Periplastic Reducing : I slimmer the instant you _ w put it on. 1 ■ f M| stant, gentle mass I * I S^ breaks down the fat celts.
