Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Amusing. Too mature.
STRICTLY MODERN. Dorothy Mackail, Sidney Blackmer. Adapted from the stage play “Cousin Kate”. Direction by William Seiter. First National.
An amusing comedy in which a girl invited to her cousin’s weddng, finds a romantic complication and settles it very satisfactorily. It is a simple, entertaining picture.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Probably amusing. No interest.

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES. Billie Dove, Sidney Blackmer. Based on stage play “Other Men’s Wives” by Walter Hackett. Direction by Clarence Badger. First National.
A young matron and “man about town” who were eloping, find themselves stranded in an evil looking Inn, where sinister and mysterious actions are afoot. Their love cools as the plot thickens. It is, strangely, a comedy, but the humor is not always as amusing as it might have been, if it were in better taste. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
SWEET MAMA. Alice White. Direction by Edward Cline. First National.
Another version of the overworked racketeer and night club theme appears in this unimportant picture. Due to clever direction and adequate acting it is fairly engrossing melodrama.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. No.
TRIGGER TRICKS. Hoot Gibson. Direction by Reaves Eason. Universal.
An entertaining Western in which a Texas Ranger brings his brother’s mur
derer to justice. The plot is cleverly executed and holds interest throughout. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Entertaining. Entertaining.
WHITE HELL OF PITZ PALU. Gustave Diessel. Direction by Dr. Arnold Frank and G. W. Pabst. Produced by H. R. Sokal. Universal release.
This is a remarkable picturization of a dramatic incident in the lives of three people who attempt to scale the perilous heights of Pitz Palu, the highest and most dangerous of all peaks in the Alps. Its tragic realism from the beginning, when the three start up its glistening icy face, to the time when two are finally rescued, is breath taking. It is recommended for discriminating adults and for adolescents who would not be too distressed by the grim realism portrayed. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. A matter of taste. Too grim.

YOUNG DESIRE. Mary Nolan, William Janney. Based on play “Carnival” by William Doyle. Direction by Lew Collins. Universal.
This is a tragic story of a “carnival girl” who seeks death rather than have her tawdry past affect the future of the young man she loves. It is only fairly entertaining because the plot is rather too unpleasant and because it and the character delineations are not entirely convincing.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Hardly entertaining. No.
YOUNG MAN OF MANHATTAN. Norman Foster, Claudette Colbert. Direction by Monta Bell. Paramount.
Metropolitan newspaper people at work and at play. The plot is thin but successful because of the human characterizations and splendid acting.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No interest
