HELL’S HEROES. Charles Bickford, Raymond Hatton, Fred Kohler. Direction by William Wyler. Based on story “The Three Godfathers,” by Peter B. Kyne. All dialogue. Universal.
The story is somber and depressing, but it is powerfully and unsentimentally presented. The desert with its relentless perils is a background for the development of humanism and kindliness in three different characters, “Three Bad Men,” whose reactions are individual in every way. It is different and worthwhile for adult audiences who are ready to forego a happy ending, but it is not recommended for children who would certainly get unnecessary impressions of horror and tragedy.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

HIS FIRST COMMAND. William Boyd. Direction by Gregory La Cava. All dialogue. Pathe.
A conventional story of army life and rivalry between a private and a superior officer (in which, of course, the private wins our sympathy), with a thrillingsteeple chase and an exhibition of heroism, as a climax. There are authentic pictures of army camp life with colorful shots of parade and drill, and a real impression is given of army discipline. Children will find the picture of particular interest.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Excellent. Good.
THE LAUGHING LADY. Ruth Chatterton, Clive Brook. Direction by Victor Schertzinger. All dialogue. Paramount.
“Drawing-room comedy” — a story of divorce and re-marriage which is cleverly acted by the two principals and an excellent cast. Entertaining fare for adult audiences.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Too Mature. Too Mature.

THE LOST ZEPPELIN. Conway Tearle, Ricardo Cortez, Virginia Valli. Direction by Edward Sloman. All dialogue. Tiffany.
A story of Arctic exploration in a giant zeppelin — disaster — rescue; a triangular love affair for romantic interest. The picture has some spectacular appeal and the theme has timely interest. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Fairly Interesting. Passable.

LOVE COMES ALONG. Bebe Daniels, Lloyd Hughes. Direction by Rupert Julian. All dialogue and music. R. K. 0.
A musical drama, entertaining of its type, with numerous tuneful songs. The story is of average interest and has a certain sophistication which precludes its recommendation for children. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Better Not. No.
