Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. No.
ON THE LEVEL. Victor McLaglen, Lilyan Tashman. Direction by Irving Cummings. Fox.
A rough and ready iron worker, who becomes enmeshed in a crooked real estate deal after being “vamped” by a beautiful woman, has to resort to his courage and brawn to get him out of the mix-up into which he was plunged by his simplicity. It is not a very sympathetic story and has little interest. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. Too mature.

PARAMOUNT ON PARADE. All star cast. Paramount release.
The title is an excellent summary, for many Paramount stars pass in revue, the whole being a wealth of amusing and interesting material. It will have the usual appeal of this type of entertainment. (Seen in preview.)
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. Little interest.
THE PARTY GIRL. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Directed by Victor Halpin. Tiffany.
Reported in February under the title “Dangerous Business”. It is a portrayal of the use of party girls in selling large orders to out of town customers and it is thoroughly offensive.
Adolescent, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

THE RACKETEER. Robert Armstrong, Carol Lombard. Directed by Howard Higgens. Pathe.
Extortion, dishonest gambling, bootlegging, drunkenness and adultery march
in a sordid procession unrelieved by humor, wit or novelty.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Decidedly not. No.
SARAH AND SON. Ruth Chatterton, Fredric March. Based on Timothy Shea’s novel. Directed by Dorothy Arzner.
The story tells of the progress of Sarah Storm thru a period of years to the time when tenacity of purpose and financial success make it possible for her to reclaim the son who was parted from her in infancy. It is a charming story in which mother-love is not sentimentally overdrawn, but is portrayed in a human and interesting way. This, with Miss Chatterton’s exceptional ability and the support of a well chosen cast, places the picture among the foremost of recent releases.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Perfectly wholesome No interest,
but possibly little interest.
SHE COULDN’T SAY NO. Winnie Lightner, Chester Morris. Direction by Lloyd Bacon. Warner Bros.
“She Couldn’t Say No” is another way of saying that “the show must go on!” It is another musical show — of the vaudeville type — and as such is entertaining in its way. Holding the acts together is the romance between a cabaret singer and a racketeer, and the sophisticated dialogue and suggestions make it unsuitable for children. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

THE SHIP FROM SHANGHAI. Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, Louis Wolheim. Based on novel “Ordeal” by Dale Collins. Directed by Charles Brabin. M.G.M.
This is a tense psychological melo
