SHOW GIRL IN HOU.WOOD (First National)
LICE WHITE comes dancing into Hollywood to crash into the movies. She has lots of tough breaks, because a dirty so-and-so of a director goes on the make for her.
But Ahce knows her roller skates and not only gets herself a leading role that leads to stardom, but lands a good job for her song-writer boy-friend. Hollywoodites are chuckling over this picture, which is real inside stuff. It is hinted that many of the characterizations are take-offs on certain movie magnates. Honors go chiefly to Ford Sterling, who plays the big producer. Alice sings and dances in very clever revue numbers filmed in technicolor.
LADIES OF LEISURE (Columbia)
COLUMBIA PICTURES have gradually been coming to the fore and with Ladies of Leisure, their first big picture of the year, they keep up the good work. It is a story of New York night life, the party girl racket and artists' models — both during and after working hours.
Goodness knows, the night life and artists' model theme has been done pl-enty on the screen, both talking and silent. But somehow, Frank Capra, the director, has managed to injea a very sincere atmosphere into this one, which makes it seem different. Lowell Sherman, Ralph Graves, and Marie Prevost, among others, give excellent performances.
TRUE TO THE NAVY (Paramount)
SWING HIGH. (Pathe)
THIS story deals with those glamorous days forty years ago when small-time circuses and medicine shows were the only entertainments that brought horses and buggies to rest at the iron hitching, post. Helen Twelvetrees plays a trapeze performer in love with a shy ballyhoo singer, Fred Scott. Happiness Over the Hill, their theme song, sounds like a lifelong echo, when in steps Dorothy Burgess and her villainous monkey that she has trained to pick pockets.
Jealousy, dirty work, and general misunderstanding cause our Helen to suffer crucially (Oh, how she suffers!). An excellent story, well told, with a cast that is excellent.

EX BELL, hero of Western chaps, spurs, and lariat for named Clara Bow.
Imagine her consternation when she finds seven very ardent young sailors in love with her. Only the It girl could manage the situation without driving six of them to the big drink forever.
The Brooklyn Bonfire is letting her hair grow, and looks a little wooly, but is captivating just the same. This is not one of her best pictures, but it more than satisfies. Rex Bell is a personable hero, while Harry Green is great.
