MAEDCHEN IN UNIFORM (John Krimsky and Gifford Cochran) — The poignant story of_ a little girl in a boarding school whose emotions are misunderstood by the over-severe principal. The dialogue is in German but there are English titles which make the story easily understood. Very good — but not amusing for children. THE MATCH KING {First National)— Warren William in a story which is supposed to be based on the life of Ivar Krueger. Lily Damita plays a movie actress — made-up to look suspiciously like Garbo. Good — the children won't be crazy about it, though. THE MASQUER ADER (United Artists)— Ronald Colman. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. ME AND MY GAL (Fox)— Waterfront story— and pretty roughhouse — with Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett. (Not Joan Blondell as we wrongly stated last month.) Good— but you'd better look at it yourself before deciding whether the kids should see it. MEN MUST FIGHT (M-G-M) — Diana Wynyard and Phillips Holmes. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. MIND READER (Warners)— Warren William and Constance Cummings. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. THE MUMMY (Universal) — Along comes Boris Karloff scaring all the kids — and grown-ups — again. This time he's an Egyptian mummy who is brought to life by the application of some abracadabra and incantations. Very good — parts of it okay for the tots. NAGANA (Universal)— Tala Birell and Melvyn Douglas show how they react to the tropics. You'll find their acting just as interesting as their reacting. Very good — but children won't be interested. NIGHT AFTER NIGHT (Paramount)— George Raft as the owner of smart New York speakeasy has social ambitions because he loves Constance Cummings who is a Park Avenuooer. Mae West and Alison Skipworth also have parts which will delight you. Good — but children will be bored. NO' MAN OF HER OWN (Paramount)— Clark Gable, Dorothy Mackaill and Carole Lombard in the story of a gambler who learns about love from two women. Excellent — but don't take the kids. NO OTHER WOMAN (Radio)— Irene Dunne suffers again in this — and very beautifully, too. ± Charles Bickford and Eric Linden are also in it. Good —but not very interesting to children. PARACHUTE JUMPER (First National) —Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., as a young man who will accept any position — no matter how dangerous — in order to get along. Excellent — and the kids will enjoy it, too. THE PAST OF MARY HOLMES (Radio)— Remember the play called "The Goose Woman"? It made quite a dent in the popular mind some years ago. Well, this is a talkie version of it — with Jean Arthur, Eric Linden and Helen McKellar. Fair — not for children. PENGUIN POOL MURDER ( Radio)— Murder mystery with large doses of comedy supplied by the delightful Edna May Oliver. Very good — and okay for children. PRIVATE JONES (Universal)— Lee Tracy and Donald Cook. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. PROSPERITY (M-G-M)— Not quite as perfect as some of the other Marie Dressier-Polly Moran combinations, but well worth seeing all the same. Very good — all right for the kids. RASPUTIN AND THE EMPRESS (M-G-M)— Story of Russia's mad monk with no less than the three Barrymores playing in it. Lionel's performance as Rasputin will thrill you if you are one of his fans. Excellent — but not for children. RED DUST (M-G-M) — More tropical stuff— this time with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Mary Astor and Gene Raymond. Clark and Jean make a magnificent team. Very good — but better keep the children away. A BEAUTIFUL. COMPLEXION Without Rouge Do you want a beautiful complexion? Without the use of rouge? And color that is all your own ?

SHE DONE HIM WRONG (Paramount)— Mae West blazes a trail across the screen in her first starring picture. Taken from her pley, "Diamond Lil."

Very good — but won't interest children. SISTER TO JUDAS (Mayfair)— Johnny Harron and • Claire Windsor. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. SO THIS IS HARRIS (Radio)— Phil Harris, famous entertainer, does his stuff which makes this a corking musical picture. Good — children will like some of it.

THE WOMAN ACCUSED (Paramount)— Nancy Carroll and Cary Grant. Reviewed in section starting on page 6. Bad, Bad Woman {Continued from page 47) easily reached. Much prettier dolls. Mae wasn't interested. "I want that one." And turning to her mother, "You said I could have any doll I wanted." THEY finally saw it was no use trying to dissuade her and at last two ladders were brought from the back of the store and Mae — the gal who always gets what she wants— proudly bore home the lavender-dressed doll. It was this same stubborn and precocious child who, at the age of six, panicked a Brooklyn audience on amateur night by doing imitations of Eva Tanguay and other famous stars. That began her theatrical career — a career that was to lead her through stock, through vaudeville into musical shows and at last to make her author, pro ducer and star of the sensational "Sex" and "Diamond Lil" and eventually to lead her to the screen in "Night After Night" and "She Done Him Wrong." Mae West was the first person — according to Mae West — to do the shimmie on any stage ! That was way back when she was in musical shows. Another story goes that Mae West was a member of an acrobatic act in vaudeville and also lifted what was supposed to be a 500-pound weight.
