City A Confidential Guide to Current Releases Continued from page 104 theatrical producer to get a young fellow out of the way, so that producer may have a free rein with young fellow's girl, a chorine. "Napoleon's Barber" — Fox. A solemn talking picture, mercifully short. An antiroyalist barber vows he would slit Napoleon's throat if he were shaving him. Napoleon, on one of his marches, pauses for a shave and confesses his identity, whereupon the barber is transformed into a cringing coward. Much, much talk. Otto Matiesen, Frank Reicher, Helen Ware, Philippe de Lacy. "Some One to Love" — Paramount. An heiress to twenty millions suspects that her poor sweetheart is a fortune hunter, so he proves his worth as a business man by putting a languishing girls' school on its feet, and the two make up. Innocuous, kindergarten stuff. Charles Rogers, Mary Brian, William Austin, and Jack Oakie. "Power"— Pat he. William Boyd in another roughneck role, this time working on the construction of a dam. He and his pal are fleeced by an adventuress, but show lively' interest in the next girl who comes along. A feeble excuse for wise-cracking. Alan Hale is, as usual, Boyd's partner in ineptitude. "Caught in the Fog" — Warner. Snatches of dialogue help this mediocre picture not at all. A girl crook and her pal invade a houseboat and are apprehended by a young man, who is the son of the owners. He falls in love with the girl, who promises to reform. Conrad Nagel, May McAvoy, and Charles Gerard will blush for this a year hence. They may do so now. "Outcast"— First National. Brightly done story of streetwalker befriended by whimsical society man, whose sweetheart has jilted him for a richer catch. When married sweetheart tries to resume liaison, the ex-streetwalker shows her where she gets off and grabs the man for herself. Shallow, but not annoying. Corinne Griffith, Edmund Lowe, and Kathryn Carver. "The Viking"— Metro-Goldwyn. Ponderous, prolonged pageant in what is called natural color, showing discovery of America by Leif Ericson, with trimmings of typical Hollywood sentimentality. Every one terribly in earnest, and rather tiresome. Pauline Starke, LeRoy Mason, Anders Randolf, and Donald Crisp. "Revenge" — United Artists. Florid, unconvincing tale of a Rumanian bear tamer's -daughter, tempestuous, untrammeled, who is abducted by a gypsy brigand and tamed to melting sweetness by hard-boiled tactics. Beautiful backgrounds and indifferent acting by Dolores del Rio, LeRoy Mason, Rita Carewe, and Jose Crespo. Hollywood High Lights Continued from page 105 regal one's optics and made him both watery-eyed and squint-eyed. Now Tut has been beautified by a plastic surgeon. And while unkind and envious dogs have probably said tut, tut to Tut, the pouches have been removed, and he is a smarter-looking pup than ever before. Also he has proved that mere humans do not have a corner on facelifting. Regrettable Aftermath. Raoul Walsh has had a pathetic experience. He has had to have his right eye removed by operation. The surgeon expedient was necessary because of the accident that happened to him while he was filming "In Old Arizona." You may recall the incident. It occurred on location in Utah. Walsh was riding in a motor at night, when a jackrabbit, leaping high across the road, crashed through the windshield of the car, and the splintered glass struck the occupants, penetrating the director's right eye. For a time it was thought that he would fully recover, but as his sight in both eyes was later threatened, it was decided by the doctors to resort to the knife. The tragic happening probably will interfere with Walsh's future efforts in acting, though naturally he will continue to direct. He appeared on the screen not so long ago in Gloria Swanson's "Sadie Thompson," as the marine sergeant. Sartorial Note. Loud clothes have been banned on the sound stages ! Conflagrations Frequent. Any jubilation that anti-talkie fans might have felt over the destruction of the Paramount sound studios by fire will be short-lived ! The company's plant is already being reconstructed. The blaze was very spectacular and cost $450,000. Nearly every studio has had some sort of explosion or fire lately. Perhaps it's the effect of too many "hot" pictures. Will "Psych" the Movies. In all seriousness, one of the movie companies has announced its having retained a prominent college professor to psychologize their pictures. His duties will be to sit in at all story conferences, and offer sugges
