Fourth Edition THEATRICAL REVIEWS 95 THEATRICAL FILM REVIEWS ( Condensed from reviews in previous issues of The Educational Screen^ EVERY film in this section has been personally seen by Marguerite Orndorff, editor of the monthly department of "The Theatrical Field" in the magazine. The usual indication (*), for a film viewed by the staff, is therefore omitted. The monthly issue in which the original review appeared is always given. These reviews are made primarily from the technical and artistic standpoint, with less attention to strictly "moral" considerations. The moral aspect of the pictures is taken care of effectively by the notations showing recommendations by the ParentTeacher Associations and the Film Councils of America. All films below, that have been recommended by either or both of these organizations, are so indicated by the letters PTA and FCA following the review of the film. The small letters following the dash indicate as follows: f, for whole family; j, especially good for children; y, for youth from 14 years up; a, for adults. This list of films covers all theatrical films reviewed in THE EDUCATIONAL SCREEN from January, 1924 to April, 1925, inclusive.
