SALLY (First National) — Marilyn Miller is just as lovely in the talkie version of this famous musical comedy as she was in the stage version. Alexander Gray's voice, too, is as effective as usual. THE SAP FROM SYRACUSE (Paramount) — Reviewed in this issue. SARAH AND SON (Paramount) — We don't suppose that we need to tell you to see this one for Ruth Chatterton's sterling performance. The story, as well, is much better than the general run of mother love effusions. THE SHADOW OF THE LAW (Paramount) — William Powell in a story about the innocently convicted fellah.

SLIGHTLY SCARLET (Paramount) — A sophisticated crook story with Clivc Brook and Evelyn Brent being crooked and sophisticated in very good style.

SO THIS IS LONDON (Fox)— The excellent Mr. Rogers in a talkie adaptation of the well known play. The story isn't so very original, but, oh — when Will Rogers starts pulling his gags, everything is totsy hotsy! THE SOCIAL LION (Paramount) — In keeping with its title, the first Jack Oakie starring picture goes over with a roar. Story cross between The Smart Set and Fast Company.

SONG O' MY HEART ^fox;— If you like john McCormack's voice don't miss this one. SONG OF THE FLAME (First National)— Mr. Gershwin contributed some of the music to this.
