NO NO NANETTE. Bernice Claire. Direction by Clarence Badger. All dialogue and music. First National.
Colorful, musical and lightly entertaining comedy, which has been elaborated from the original, retaining the popular well known song hits.

NOT SO DUMB. Marion Davies, William Holden. Based on play “Dulcy” by Marc Connolly and George Kaufman. Direction by King Vidor. All dialogue. M.G.M.
The plot of this amusing comedy is plausible and very funny, for “Dulcy”, wishing only to help her fiance in his business by pleasant social contacts, succeeds in doing everything wrong in a very gracious, kindly way. It provides excellent screen entertainment which the entire family may enjoy together. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Very amusing. Possibly too

ROADHOUSE NIGHTS. Helen Morgan, Charles Ruggles. Directed by Hobart Henley. All dialogue. Paramount.
Crook melodrama: a tale of rum
runners whose activities are uncovered by a newspaper reporter. It is a story of criminals led by a strong and authoritative leader, but crime is not made to seem easy or alluring, and all receive their just deserts! It is interesting for this type of drama.

THE SACRED FLAME. Pauline Fredrick, Conrad Nagel, Lila Lee. Based on play by Somerset Maugham. Direction by Archie Mayo. All dialogue. Warner Brothers.
This picture presents an unusual and depressing problem which the mother of two sons must meet.

Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
SALLY. Marilyn Miller. Direction by John Francis Dillon. Adapted from the musical comedy. All color, dialogue and music. First National.
The tuneful, colorful Ziegfield success, transposed to the screen with much skill. It has as story the intriguing rise of an ambitious little girl who begins life as an orphan in a Foundling Home, and reaches undreamed heights of fame thru her dancing ability. Miss Miller looses none of her charm on the screen and the production should especially please those who could not see the stage version. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good. Passable.

SECOND WIFE. Conrad Nagel, Lila Lee. Based on play “All The King’s Men” by Charles Fulton Oursler. Direction by Russell Mack. All dialogue. R.K.O.
“Second Wife” is an unpleasant sketch of family relations — an attempt to show the difficult adjustments which a second wife must make when she marries a man with a child. But the production seems only melodramatic and difficult to accept seriously. Lack of taste in story, dia
