"I sincerely thank all those independent exhibitors who did their part to maintain the integrity of the motion picture industry by buying THE AUTHENTIC, COPYRICHTED BAER-BRADDOCK FIGHT PICTURES" RAY SMITH releasing thru CAPITAL FILM EXCH. 1314 Vine St., Phila., Spr. 2699 R E V I E W S Lamps of China (Continued from Page 12) extreme generosity and understanding. During a Communist uprising he saves a large sum of money for the company at the risk of his life, and is promised great rewards, but through political intrigue, is given a minor clerkship. His wife, however, secredy forces the company to give him his just reward thus reaffirming his blind ideal. It is important that advertising ignore the oil company angle as this is poison to most movie fans. Play up the situations of Americans caught in a Chinese revolt; and up-to-theminute adventure picture, straight from today's headlines. If you can't have the size of your marquee increased to take in the entire title, call it "Lamps of China!" ELK. Boxoffice Rating • % — PEOPLE WILL TALK Paramount 65 Minutes Mary Boland Charlie Ruggles Leila Hyams Dean Jagger Directed by Alfred Santell Drawn out comedy situations which are only really amusing on one or two occasions, characterize this stereotyped husband-wife story of the familiar Boland-Ruggles pattern. Being the first appearance of the team since "Ruggles of Red Gap" there should be a ready audience for their appearance in this one. A decidedly minor production it nevertheless affords enough entertainment to rate as a satisfactory program offering. Leila Hyams, who also appeared in "Ruggles," is the only other name in the cast. Can be used to advantage to balance double bills, particularly if shared with a heavy drama. Typically good family entertainment. Will please in rural houses, but will go below average elsewhere. PLOT: Mary Boland and her husband, Charlie Ruggles, want to show their quarreling daughter and son-in-law how bad it appears to carry on that way. They make believe that they are cross at each other but Mary Boland continually forgets that it is really a sham and creates some comic situations. Eventually their plan causes a break-up between them over some imaginary scandal and there is talk of divorce. The young people end up by bringing the older couple together as well as themselves. Mention the appearance of its leading players in "Ruggles" in your ad copy. Also remind them of the team's great success in "Mama Loves Papa." ELK.
