THE GUARDSMAN.— A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer masterpiece from the stage play as originally presented by the Theatre Guild. The Guild has been so stingy with its press courtesies, but we’ll have a chance to see it done much better by a worthy film company. Cast is headed by Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, sup
BDrted by Roland Young and Herman ing. Sophisticated and good!
LASCA OF THE RIO GRANDE— Universal Production. Drama of life in the most picturesqu esection of the North American Continent, where life moves swift and emotions are deep seated and hearts beat fpriouslv. A tender and absorbing story is well told in this. John Mack Brown, Dorothy Burgess and Leo Carillo contribute a sterling performance with gripping force. Well directed.
PARDON US. — Laurel and Hardy in a comic adaptation of “The Big House”, in which use was made of the sets for that prison film. A full length picture, but not quite as funny as we had hoped it would be. They do a sort of Amos n’ Andy in a part of the film. Walter Long’s “Tiger” portrayal is really fine. This isn’t Walter’s first try at convict roles. He’s also a director of note.
EXPRESS 13. — A Ufa film of the mystery type, reviewed at the Cosmopolitan Theatre, N. Y. City. Alfred Bierle, Heinz Koenecke. and the seductively beautiful Charlotte Susa appear in the production which has much to do with the oil and railroad industries as well as murder. German language films, as a rule, without any English titles; but fairly good film stuff.
HEIDELBERG. — Gay and glorious Heidelberg with its students as often indulging in beer, romance and song as they are on professorial teachings — that’s the sort of picture set before you in German from the UFA studios of Europe. Those whose Deutsch is proficient — even if it’s helped along by the synopsis in the program sheet — will enjoy “Ein Burschenlied aus Heidelberg.”
FANNY FOLEY HERSELF.— Radio Pictures with Edna May Oliver. Hobart Bosworth, Florence Roberts, Rochelle Hudson, Helen Chandler, John Darrow and Harry 0. Stubbs. An excellent cast, with'excellent material and able direction, result, excellent entertainment. Edna May Oliver is always a show unto herself, you cannot fail to enjoy her work in this, wherein she is afforded fair latitude.
THE AGE FOR LOVE— Billie Dove’s latest starring vehicle for Howard Hughes' Caddo Productions. Directed most ably by Frank Lloyd, assisted by Wm. Tummel. Plenty of humor supplied by Edward Everett Horton who seems to fit well into most any sort of picture. Billie Dove, recently divorced and happier, is positively at her best and you will enjoy seeing this wonderful film.
THE SO UA JVMAN— M.G.M. Production, directed by Cecil de Mille, with Warner Baxter and Lupe Velez, Eleanor Boardman, Roland Young, Charles Bickford and Mitchell Lewis. Produced both as a silent and a talkie by de Mille, we feel that the silent version has the edge uoon this later effort — Perhaps absence of novelty explains our reaction. Has broad appeal.
tional picture. An extravagant drama by a melodramatic mind with fairly pleasing results. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., with Loretta Young work a clever piece of hokum, violating all tradition, which because of action passes for entertainment. Boris Karloff, Henry Kolker, Edmund Breon, Claude Allister, Paul Porcasi give good performances.
