A stimulating film which succeeds in making archeology interesting and entertaining to the layman.

MADAM SATAN. Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny. Direction by Cecil B. De Mille. M.G.M.
To enjoy this melodramatic farce the audience must accept an almost incredible premise: that a cultured, refined woman would stoop to win back her husband’s love in the unconventional manner she chose. The production is magnificent; the dialogue smart, and the acting good. It is entertaining only for adults who enjoy spectacular melodrama.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.

MOBY DICK. John Barrymore, Joan Bennett. Direction by Lloyd Bacon. Adapted from the novel by Herman Melville. Warner Brothers.
Mr. Melville’s story of whaling days in
New Bedford has been changed by the addition of an elaborate love story, but altho melodramatic it is still interesting and consistent as presented. Mr. Barrymore gives an excellent characterization of Ahab, the half mad whaleman who seeks revenge on Moby Dick, the great white whale which has crippled him. The scenes on the ocean are spectacular and thrilling and it is good entertainment. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good unless too Too exciting,
exciting.
MONSIEUR LE FOX or MEN OF THE NORTH. Gilbert Roland. Direction by Hal Roach. M.G.M.
A romantic drama of the north, depicting the efforts of a young French Canadian to evade the law after he has stolen the share of profits of a gold mine which were rightly his, and from which he had been cheated. The winter mountain scenes are particularly to be commended. The play itself, though weak in spots and not entirely convincing, will nevertheless prove entertaining. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Yes. Probably too mature.

RAIN OR SHINE. Joe Cook. Direction by Frank Capra. Columbia.
“Rain or Shine” is great fun — a story of circus life in which the girl owner must be saved from the machinations of two crook members of the troupe who conspire to get control of her show. The glamour of a circus background adds much to the absurdly clever antics of Joe Crook, but the story is also diverting and the production is well directed, making the comedy very entertaining. It is recommended for family audiences. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Yes. Good fun.
RENO. Ruth Roland, Montague Love. Direction by George Crane. Sono-Art.
A woman is so humiliated by her hus
