which recounts the escape of a vagabond bandit after collecting the reward for his own arrest. His adventures and those of his two musical henchmen, are enlivened by several humorous love affairs. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Amusing. Questionable. — o — WIDE OPEN. Edward Everett Horton, Patsy Ruth Miller. Adapted from the novel, “The Narrow Street”, by Edward Bateman Morris. Direction by Archie Mayo. Warner Brothers. This is a highly amusing farce but it is unfortunate that suggestive innuendoes and positive vulgarities were added, since Mr. Horton is so successfully humorous in wholly clean plays. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Probably passable. Too sophisticated. — o — YOUNG EAGLES. Charles Rogers, Jean Arthur. Based on two short stories by Elliott White Springs. Direction by William Wellman. Paramount. A war setting for this story of youthful aviators, into which enters an element of mystery in discovering the identity of the heroine. The extreme boyishness of the heroes will appeal to adolescents and the aviation scenes are very well portrayed. It is entertaining for family audiences. Adolescents ,12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Entertaining. Very exciting. SHORT SUBJECTS TWO REEL COMEDIES — ALL DIALOGUE. THE CLOCK SHOP. Musical revue. Direction by Marty Brooks. M.G.M. Night in a clock shop when the clocks come to life. It is different and entertaining. Excellent for children. — o — THE DUKE OF DUBLIN. Charlie Murray. Direction Will Watson. Paramount. Slapstick comedy, probably harmless but very crude. Passable for children. — o — FRENCH KISSES. Monty Collins. Educational. Slapstick farce of little entertainment value. Title suggests type. It is unsuitable for children. HAIL THE PRINCESS. Directed by Stephen Roberts. Educational. Slapstick comedy which shows what happened when social rivals tried to outdo each other in entertaining royalty. Directed in better taste than usual in this type. Amusing for all. — o — HE TRUMPED HER ACE. Educational. The difference between trumping an ace before and after marriage provides the comedy theme. No interest for children. 7
