Feature Films
The film recommended as of unusual distinction for adults this month is The Rogue Song,” and for the general family audience “Devil May Care.” For children we wish again to remind you to watch for “Taming of the Shrew” as it reaches neighborhood theatres, and in addition “Burning Up” and “His First Command,” both of which will undoubtedly have appeal for youthful audiences.

THE BISHOP MURDER CASE. Basil Rathbone and all-star cast. Direction by Nick Grindle. Based on story by S. S. VanDyne. M.-G.-M.
This is an excellently rounded production which cannot fail to appeal to lovers of detective fiction. The story is a good one, and its mystifying atmosphere has been preserved by intelligent casting and direction. It is recommended as unusually good of its type.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good. Too Mature.
BURNING UP. Richard Arlen, Mary Brian. Direction by Edward Sutherland. All dialogue. Paramount.
This story of automobile racing is well directed and well acted: the plot is simple and pleasing, and it is thrilling in an entertaining way. It will be popular, we think, with family audiences. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Excellent. Exciting
but entertaining.
