for some reason lacks the delightful quality of the stage play.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Quite suitable. Harmless.
REDEMPTION. John Gilbert. Based on the novel “The Living Corpse” by Tolstoi. Direction by Fred Niblo. M.G.M.
A depressing tragedy showing the slow disintegration of a character. It is not a satisfactory interpretation of the great novel, lacking both the deep philosophy of the book and the dramatic quality of the play.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Louis Mann. Direction by Sam Wood. M.G.M.
A melodrama which is relieved of certain hackneyed qualities by the really creditable acting of Mr. Mann. The theme concerns parental sacrifice.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. Too mature.
ROMANCE. Greta Garbo. Direction by Clarence Brown. From the stage play by Edward Sheldon. M.G.M. (Seen in preview).
The romantic and well known stage play is beautifully presented by Miss Garbo and an excellent caste. It is the story of a talented and fascinating woman whose unconventional past stands between her and real love. It is very entertaining.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Too mature. No interest.
ROUGH ROMANCE. George O’Brien. Direction by A. F. Erickson. From the novelette by Kenneth B. Clarke. Fox.
An adventurous and romantic melodrama set in the timber country of the far north. It is not entirely convincing
in spite of good acting, but holds some interest.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. Perhaps.
THE RUNAWAY BRIDE. From the play by H. H. Van Loon and Lolita Ann Westman. Mary Astor, Lloyd Hughes. Direction by Donald Crisp. R.K.O.
A crook melodrama concerning a girl who almost married the wrong man and in running away from him finds the right one, after she is involved in robbery and murder. The girl is a genius for getting into avoidable difficulties from which her hero saves her. It is a bit of old fashioned melodrama and is fair entertainment of its type.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Doubtful. Better not.

SHADOW OF THE LAW. William Powell. From the novel “The Quarry” by John A. Morose. Direction by Louis Gasnier. Paramount.
The story is of a man’s desperate effort to clear himself of a crime of which he is not guilty. It is a possible situation but the development of the details of the plot is not always entirely convincing nor plausible. In spite of this, Mr. Powell’s interesting characterization makes it good melodrama for those who still enjoy the repeated presentation of criminal characters in prison settings. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not advised. No.
