HOW’S MY BABY. Monty Collins. Educational. Slapstick which is unobjectionable as a whole. Harmless for children. — o — KIDDIES REVUE, and THE BABY FOLLIES. Direction by Gus Edwards. M.G.M. Both productions are revues with children imitating adult performances. Entertainment value is a matter of taste for children as well as adults. — o — LOBO DOG OF DOGS. Warner Brothers. A very interesting act showing the amazing responsiveness of an intelligent and well trained police dog. Good for children. — o — MANHATTAN SERENADERS. M.G.M. A musical revue attempting to express the “spirit” of New York, made objectionable by a Harlem scene. Not recommended. MATCH PLAY. Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel. Educational. Refreshing comedy based on a golf game — its difficulties and its rewards. Highly recommended for all. — o — PEACE AND HARMONY. Monty Collins. Educational. Slapstick comedy based on family quarrels: quite pointless and devoid of fun. Not recommended for children. — o — THE PIRATES. M.G.M. Musical act of sophisticated type. Not recommended for children. — o — Late reports recommend “Song O’ My Heart”, Fox, with John McCormack, as delightful entertainment suitable for family audiences. Also “All Quiet On The Western Front”, Universal, as a remarkable translation to the screen of the book by Enrich Maria Remarque. It is recommended for adult appreciation. “The College Racketeer”, Universal, reviewed in April, is released in the East under title “Hide Out”.
