marriage and fidelity which brands it as unsuitable for adolescents and children. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No. — o — THE LONE RIDER. Buck Jones. Direction by Louis King. Columbia. Buck Jones as a glum, silent bandit of the wide open spaces is reformed in spite of himself under the guidance of the sweet girl. There are no subtleties to confuse — evil is “tough”, and virtue is rewarded. But it is somewhat too obvious to entertain discriminating audiences of any age in spite of some thrills and pleasant scenery. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Little interest. Not recommended. — o — LOVE AMONG THE MILLIONAIRES. Clara Bow. Direction by Frank Tuttle. Paramount. Comedy drama in which our waitress finds that her brakeman lover is a prince in disguise — in fact the son of the railroad President. A happy ending is effected after Clara proves her sincerity. She is not entirely convincing as the “sweet young thing” but the comedy is sustained by the highly amusing skill of Mitzi Green, Stewart Erwin, and Skeets Gallagher. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Amusing and Not recommended, probably passable. — o — THE LOVE TRADER. Leatrice Joy, Roland Drew. Direction by Joseph Henaberry. Metropolitan Studio. (Seen in Preview.) A tropical night and a handsome halfcaste induce a woman to forget the conventions. Realizing that she cannot adapt herself to either the old or new mode of life, she commits suicide. The picture is poorly planned, the direction and acting quite mediocre. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Wrong moral. No. — o — THE MAN FROM WYOMING. Gary Cooper, June Collyer. Direction by Roland V. Lee. Paramount. This is a war romance between a young society girl and an engineer from Wyoming. Because the story is full of absurdities it is not absolutely convincing, but the elements of war and romance combined give it a fair amount of appeal. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Perhaps. No, too exciting. — o — NANCY FROM NAPLES. Charles King, Lowell Sherman. Direction by Archie Mayo. Warner Bros. Routine musical comedy plot: the lovers are parted by fearful misunderstandings and are tunefully reunited again after the villainous husband is killed. It has little entertainment value. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No. — o — NIGHT WORK. Eddie Quillan, Sallie Starr. Direction by Russell Mack. Pathe. A delightful comedy concerning a hardworking young man who suddenly finds himself committed to the care and support of a small orphan. It contains not only real humor, but considerable pathos and romance. It is recommended for the entire family. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Very entertaining. Good. — o — A NOTORIOUS AFFAIR. Billie Dove, Basil Rathbone. Direction by Lloyd Bacon. First National. A triangle drama in which a philander — 4
