the Texas Rangers to secure a pardon. He undertakes the dangerous mission of capturing the leader of a band of cattle rustlers in wild country, and it ends in a spectacular and thrilling gun battle. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good. Good unless too
exciting.

LORD BYRON OF BROADWAY.
Charles Kaley, Marion Schilling, Cliff Edwards. Directed by William Nigh. M.G.M.
This story of back stage life is a weak edition of “The Broadway Melody” and the music and action are at times startlingly reminiscent. It holds little of novelty and the sophistication is broad. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. Unsuitable.

LOVIN’ THE LADIES. Richard Dix, Lois Wilson. Directed by Melville Brown. R.K.O.
A light and amusing farce which shows that wagers on anything as intangible and ungovernable as love are futile. (Seen in preview.)
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Amusing and innocuous. No interest. — o —
LUMMOX. Winnifred Westover. Adapted from the novel by Fannie Hurst. Directed by Herbert Brennon. United Artists.
“Lummox” is the story of a servant girl — an unemotional drudge, who constantly sacrifices herself to help others. The theme is beautifully executed. Miss Westover is admirable in the title role, and the direction thruout is realistic and satisfying. It is worth while seeing as an excellent portrayal of Miss Hurst’s well known novel.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No: unsuitable. No interest.
THE MELODY MAN. John St. Polis, Alice Day, William Collier, Jr. Directed by William Neill. Part color. Columbia.
An interesting theme which presents a conspicuous contrast between classical and jazz music. The plot concerns a composer, guilty of a crime, who is traced after a period of many years thru a rhapsody of his own composition. (Seen in preview.)
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Passable. Rather mature.
ONLY THE BRAVE. Gary Cooper, Mary Brian. Directed by Frank Tuttle. Paramount.
The story is that of a young Union Cavalry captain who, jilted and embittered by the girl he loves, volunteers for the almost certain death of spy duty. His adventures provide a pleasantly entertaining romance, which for pictorial charm, and excellent acting, excels others of its type. While the background is the dramatic and stirring period of the Civil War, it is nicely balanced by the romantic element, and the settings, costumes, and action all contribute to provide a charming picture.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Highly recommended. Good.

HELL HARBOR. Lupe Velez, Jean Hersholt, John Holland. Adapted from, the novel “Out of The Night” by Rida Johnson Young. Directed by Henry King United Artists.
A melodrama bristling with bold crimes, bloodshed and cruelty, which has as setting the lovely background of the Carribean Sea islands and life among the pearl fishers and traders. The incredible plot might have seemed heroic as a silent picture, but dialogue betrays the banalities and increases the objectionable characteristics of the persons portrayed.
