DEVIL MAY CARE. Ramon Novarro. Direction by Sidney Franklin. All dialogue. M.-G.-M.
“Devil May Care” may not be a significant contribution to motion picture history, but it certainly is a happy one to our own entertainment. It is a romantic, pleasantly sentimental drama, with musical interpolations. The plot concerns the affairs of a loyal supporter of Napoleon in the efforts of the Bonapartists to effect this leader’s return from Elba. He falls in love with a charming Royalist, and while there is no stress on historical accuracy, the production is excellent entertainment. It is recommended for family audiences. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good. Good, if
not too Mature.

liberally sprinkled with mildly pleasant song and dances numbers.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. No Interest.
GENERAL CRACK. John Barrymore. Direction by Alan Crosland. All dialogue. Warner Bros.
Of three or four yearly selected motion pictures “General Crack” may not be your choice, but more frequent theatre-goers will not wish to miss this picture. It is beautifully costumed, and the sets are lavish and gorgeous. The acting is excellent and Mr. Barrymore’s voice adds greatly to his charm on the screen. The story is romantic and at times cumbersome but nevertheless interesting, and it entertains in swashbuckling style. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Entertaining. Too Mature.

Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Not Advised. No.
HALF WAY TO HEAVEN. Charles (Buddy) Rogers, Jean Arthur. Direction by George Abbott. All dialogue. Paramount.
The director’s skill has made a rather unbelievable story seem real and human. The plot hinges on the jealousy of one of the members of an acrobatic carnival act for another who is his rival for a girl’s love and his treacheries verge on melo
