DANGEROUS PARADISE. Richard Arlen, Nancy Carroll. Adapted from the novel “Victory” by Joseph Conrad. Direction by William Wellman. Paramount. (Seen in preview.)
Lovers of Conrad’s story will not be satisfied with this adaptation. It is now a rather sordid love story without character study or interesting philosophy and as such is of mild interest only. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. Unsuitable.
DOUBLE CROSS ROADS. Robert Ames, Lila Lee. Adapted from the story “Yonder Grow The Daisies” by William Lipman. Direction by Alfred Werker. Fox.
Another melodrama of crime and criminals the theme of which stresses the difficulty of individuals ever escaping the hold of the gang of which they were once a part. In this story gang fights gang also which provides intensely exciting situations, the realistic presentation of which seems of doubtful social value. As entertainment for adults it is perhaps a matter of taste, but it is thoroughly unsuitable for audiences of impressionable ages.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Unwholesome. No.

HIGH SOCIETY BLUES. Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell. Direction by David Butler. Fox.
A light, humorous, and pleasant comedy of newly rich people who are unconscious of the snubs they receive from those already socially established. In the end a boy and a girl prove that
true love has no barriers. It is the type of romantic story skillfully blending humor and pathos which usually has great appeal.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Good. Harmless.

HOLD EVERYTHING. Joe Brown, Winnie Lightner. Direction by Roy Del Ruth. Warner Brothers.
A comedy of broad humor, slow action, and dialogue not in the best of taste.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

KING OF JAZZ. Paul Whiteman and his orchestra; star acts. Direction by John Murray Anderson. Universal. (Seen in preview.)
This spectacular revue follows the accepted pattern except that it is perhaps more generous in its prodigality. One beautiful act — the rhythmic drum dance opening the Rhapsody in Blue — is unique and perfect, and gives promise of the ultimate perfection to which this form of art may attain. Entertainment value of such a production is purely a matter of taste.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Entertaining. Too long and
LADIES LOVE BRUTES. George Bancroft. Based on the stage play “Pardon My Glove” by Zoe Akins. Direction by Rowland V. Lee. Paramount.
The original title of the play is more in harmony with the idea and spirit of this comedy than the more vulgar one “Ladies Love Brutes”. It is an entertaining study of an Italian immigrant of little education or background, who becomes enormously rich as a New York building contractor, but finds social ad
