Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12, Good. Too exciting.

FOLLOW THRU. Buddy Rogers, Nancy Carroll. Adapted from musical comedy of the same name. Directed by Lawrence Schwab and Lloyd Corrigan. Paramount.
This effervescent comedy with interpolated song numbers offers as its chief assets the charm of its two young stars, and the really beautiful color photography, probably the best so far brought to the screen. Several scenes in doubtful taste might be omitted without being missed, but it may help a tired business man pass an agreeable hour. Otherwise it is in no way memorable. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. No.

FOR THE LOVE OF LIL. Jack Mulhall, Elliott Nugent, Sally Star. R. K. O.
Adapted from the familiar magazine cartoons, the story follows the experience of a young couple whose married life a discarded suitor and a designing woman friend, together, try to disrupt. The cast does the best it can with a not too happy theme.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

HALF SHOT AT SUNRISE. Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey. Direction by Paul Sloane. R. K. O.
The not unfamiliar theme is of two doughboys who go A.W.O.L. and quite stupidly, and entirely by accident, become heroes. The story is incidental to the slapstick antics of the well known comedians, whose rough humor is de
cidedly “of the earth earthy”. Enjoyment is again a matter of taste. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. Not recommended. — o —
HEADS UP. Buddy Rogers, Helen Kane. Direction by Victor Shertzinger. Paramount-Publix.
A musical comedy in the over-done boop-a-doop style, introducing this time cadet life in the U. S. Coast Guard, a rum-runner, a desert island, and romance. The picture is mediocre in every respect, but may prove light entertainment for those who enjoy Miss Kane’s exaggerated baby-doll type of singing, ogling, and dancing, accompanied by suggestive meanings, and the use of vulgarity to “get” her laughs.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Doubtful. No.

HELL’S ISLAND. Jack Holt, Ralph Graves, Dorothy Sebastian. Direction by Frank Capra. Columbia.
A story of the Foreign Legion and two friends in love with the same girl, with misunderstanding, suffering and penal servitude on Hell’s Island. Sacrifice leads to final happiness. The plot is not new, and the production is uninteresting. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not recommended. No.

HER WEDDING NIGHT. Clara Bow, Ralph Forbes. Story by Avery Hopwood. Direction by Frank Tuttle. Paramount.
An amusing farce in which a movie star attempting to escape the attentions of men is unwittingly married to a man equally eager to avoid the ladies. The situation is plausible and the complications, while somewhat in the nature of the old style bed-room slapstick comedy,
