are rollicking rather than objectionable. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Passable. Not the
most suitable.

LADIES MUST PLAY. Dorothy Sebastian, Neil Hamilton. Direction by R. Cannon. Columbia.
In spirit of bravado a poor but beautiful stenographer is introduced into Newport society by her employer, so that she may perhaps consumate her greatest desire which is to “marry money’’. The plot is too obvious as handled, entirely overlooking the possibilities for subtle humor or satire inherent in the situations. The result is dull and unconvincing.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
No interest. No interest and
unsuitable theme.

THE LAST DANCE. Vera Reynolds, Jason Robards. Direction by Scott Peimbroke. Audible Pictures.
To impress her family and friends, an East side dancer fabricates a romance with a wealthy young man. Complications ensue when the man contrives to meet her, but in the end he falls in love with her and makes her fibs come true. It is moderately good, light entertainment. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Not the best. No.

THE LAST OF THE LONE WOLF. Bert Lytell, Patsy Ruth Miller. Direction by Richard Boleslavesky. Columbia.
A light entertaining bit of comedy in which an arrested criminal in a fictitious country escapes his sentence because he can assist the queen in covering up her indiscretions. The sophistication of the motive for the play is somewhat lost in the intrigue and action.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Possibly. Hardly suitable.
LEATHERNECKING. Irene Dunne, Ken Murray, Benny Rubin. Adapted from the stage play “Present Arms”. Direction by Eddie Cline. R. K. O.
A musical comedy in which the U. S. “leathernecks” are shown to little advantage. But accepting the farcial plot, it provides fairly innoucous entertainment.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12.
Waste of time. Not recommended.

LILLIOM. Charles Farrell, Rose Hobart. Based on the play by Franz Molner. Direction by Frank Borzage. Fox.
Lilliom is a fantasy, serious and tragic in outcome. Lilliom, the man, is always believing that he will be finer and better and yet is always actually the ne’er-dowell and brute. He commits suicide and after ten years penance he is given another chance on earth, only to fail miserably. Mr. Borzage attempted a very difficult subject in this play and if it is not always convincing or entirely satisfying, it may be that the realism of the movies is too harsh a medium for so ethereal an idea.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Too mature. Unintelligible
for them.
THE LONESOME TRAIL. Charles Delaney, Virginia Browne Faire. Direction by Bruce Mitchell. Syndicate Picture. Preview.
The regulation western theme of the honest cowboy who saves the beautiful daughter of the rancher from the dishonest pardner. The production is too poor to appeal to any intelligence. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
