THE NEW FILMS IN PICTURES . . . PITHY FACTS TO AID YOUR BOOKING THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER! . . . David O. Selznick has revived Mark Twain's classic of boyhood, plucked a freckle-faced Irish kid from an orphanage and dabbed it with Technicolor. Tom and Huck Finn and Becky and Injun Joe are all here again to stir memories. Kids from six to sixty should find something here to please them. Tommy Kelly, who plays Tom, is being hailed as a "find." It's q United Artists release, of course. MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME! . . . With the chanting of the famous Negro Hall Johnson Choir affording an appropriate musical background, this story of romance in the South should strike a popular note with lovers of sentimental filmfare. The reviewers liked it. Cast includes Evelyn Venable, Grant Richards, Clara Blandick, Bernadene Hayes, J. Farrell MacDonald and, as stated, the Hall Johnson singers. Monogram produced and releases. HE COULDN'T SAY NO! . . . Laughs are the aim of this Warner Bros, offering. That fact is made clear by the starring presence of Frank McHugh, and the story, which concerns the statue of the girl he loves — who, incidentally, is the daughter of a senator fearful of political enemies. It all sounds very unimportant, but might be funny, which is the object.
