ANNA CHRISTIE. Greta Garbo. Based on play by Eugene O’Neil. Direction by Clarence Brown. All dialogue. M.G.M.
The theme of “Anna Christie” is the rehabilitation of a prostitute and is inevitably sordid but Miss Garbo gives a surpassingly fine interpretation of the difficult role and is supported by a perfect cast. The photography deserves special mention for its beauty of composition.

BEAU BANDIT. Rod LaRoque, Doris Kenyon, Mitchell Lewis. Direction by Lambert Hillyer. All dialogue. R.K.O.
A romantically entertaining story of a modem Robinhood character — a Mexican bandit — whose sense of justice outweighs his personal desires. Not perhaps ideal for youthful audiences but so unreal, and suggestive of burlesque, that it seems harmless in effect. (Seen in preview.) Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Probably Not recommended
entertaining. but entertaining.

THE BIG PARTY. Sue Carol, Dixie Lee. Direction by John Blystone. All dialogue. Fox.
Audiences which associate Sue Carrol with portrayals of fresh and wholesome youth will be keenly disappointed in this tawdry story of shop girls betrayed thru unbelievable innocence (or ignorance). It is suggestive and dull, and the moral ending is insufficiently motivated to save the film from being distasteful. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Unwholesome. No.

CITY GIRL. Charles Farrell, Mary Duncan. Direction by F. W. Mumau. Part dialogue. Fox.
The story is essentially a love story,
a “pot of gold” found at the end of the rainbow, a little too sentimental perhaps to be really artistic, but sweet and idealistic, and thoroly interesting. It has as background the unusual setting of the great wheat fields of America’s Northwest, and the director has caught the spirit of this different and viril country. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Recommended. No Interest.

COME ACROSS. Lena Basquette, Reed Howes. Direction by Ray Taylor. Part dialogue. Universal.
A poorly produced picture which attempts to demonstrate, with little success, that crooks merely need a shove in the right direction to set them on an honorable path. (Seen in preview.) Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

DAMES AHOY. Glenn Tryon. Direction by William James Croft. All dialogue. Universal.
The humor is typical of the suggestive and somewhat vulgar sort so frequently found in two reel comedies, but this is unbelievably stretched to six! The story is correspondingly sketchy.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
FRAMED. Evelyn Brent, Regis Toomey. Director, LeBaron. All dialogue. R.K.O.
A night club hostess swears vengeance against a police official for the death of her father in a racket war. She strikes at him thru his son who is ignorant of her police record. The happy ending weakens any moral involved. (Seen in preview.)
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Not advised. No.
