but probably too talkative to hold the attention of youthful audiences. (Seen in preview.)
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No Objection. Too complicated.

THE CASE OF SERGEANT GRISCHA.
Chester Morris. Story based on book by Arnold Zweig. Direction by Herbert Brenon. R.K.O.
The picture is of absorbing interest because of the theme, which portrays the ruthlessness of the German military machine as it crushed individuals and prevented human and humane reactions. It leaves the impression that any State which becomes such a machine, and is without justice, must certainly fall, and it is a lesson in tolerant understanding between nations. Otherwise the production is disappointing. Several characters are miscast and the direction is not always convincing, but in spite of this it reaches a degree of excellence which should attract audiences interested in so unusual and significant a subject. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Excellent for older Too mature
boys and girls. and tragic.
CHASING RAINBOWS. Bessie Love, Charles King. Directed by Charles Reisner. M.G.M.
This is a hackneyed portrayal of back stage life with little to distinguish it from countless others.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended but No interest,
passable.

THE COHENS AND KELLYS IN SCOTLAND. George Sidney, Charles Murray. Directed by William James Craft. Universal.
The Cohens and Kellys again resume
their squabbling, and again their common interests draw them together. It is rollicking fun of the type famliiar thru similar presentations.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Very entertaining. Good fun.

THE COLLEGE RACKETEER. James Murray. Directed by Reginald Barker. Universal.
A college hero, an idol in athletics, sullen, unresponsive, and secretive, who is in reality a rum runner escaping justice and deliberately choosing a school in which to hide from the law, is a little difficult to credit. Thruout several reels the hero’s viscious past colors his thoughts and actions. The sentimental suggestion that he finally lives up to what the students would like to believe him, is dangerous philosophy, because he has not demonstrated that he has anything to offer anyone except an ability to win a race. The police are shown in a most unflattering light, and altogether it is a picture which is socially destructive in its influence. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Unwholesome. No.
THE FIGHTING LEGION. Ken Maynard. Direction by Harry J. Brown. Part dialogue. Universal.
Stereotyped Western action film, in which the murderer of the officer of the law is apprehended after considerable difficulty. Tarzan, the beautiful horse, takes first honors. It is of greater interest to youthful than to adult audiences, and the objectionable features are, after all, only local color.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Entertaining. Entertaining, if not
too exciting.
