gether elaborate revue numbers. It is very lively in its sudden transition from sentimental songs or colorful dance to hilarious slap stick or risque dialogue. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Hardly recommended. No.

DANCING SWEETIES. Grant Withers, Sue Carol. Direction by Ray Enright.
This is a clean unobjectionable little comedy of the ordinary life of ordinary people. The theme is based on the rivalry of two dance-hall “shieks” over silver cups, dancing partners, and finally babies.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Fairly amusing. No.
THE FALL GUY. Jack Mulhall. Direction by Leslie Pearce. From the stage play by George Abbott and James Gleason. R.K.O.
Due to garbled moral values, the drama of middleclass life cannot be recommended for youth. The plot concerns an unemployed husband who, for lack of something better, takes a job as bootlegger — but fortunately shifts his loyalty to the side of justice in time to save himself. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

THE FLIRTING WIDOW. Dorothy Mackail, Basil Rathbone. First National.
A girl engages herself to a fictitious lover and then discovers that there is a man by the name. The plot is weak but fairly amusing.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Sentimental but possibly No interest, entertaining.

THE FLORADORA GIRL. Marion Davies. Direction by Harry Beaumont. M.G.M.
A comedy which brings back amusing
memories of the year 1900 when the now famous Floradora Sextette took Broadway by storm. Hilarious incidents typical of the “Gay ’90’s” are tied together in melodramatic style providing an hour of delicious nonsense. Except as showing the styles, customs, settings of another day, it will probably be of less interest to children than to adults. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Amusing. Little interest.

GOLDEN DAWN. Vivienne Segal. Direction by Ray Enright. Warner.
This picture has a good plot, but it is confused by direction. It is difficult to tell whether it is comic opera or serious drama. At any rate the golden haired white girl who is to be sacrificed by the African natives to their God is saved, and all ends happily.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

GOOD INTENTIONS. Edmund Lowe, Marguerite Churchill. Direction and story by William K. Howard. Fox.
This is another drama of racketeers which is excellent of its type. Story, acting and direction are above the average, the exciting action holding suspense thruout. If we must have so many underworld stories, this at least entertains, and while interest is centered in a gangster, every scene points to his ultimate downfall and his position is presented in any but an enviable light.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Very exciting, No, unsuitable,
not recommended.
