lasco. Direction by Sam Taylor. United Artists.
Miss Talmadge has presented us with a very colorful interpretation of this famous character, but one which is quite different from our conception gained from historical fact. Because of this, and because the spirit of the period is not truthfully depicted, the picture is illogical and will fail to convince the critical. As entertainment value alone, however, it will have considerable appeal, and it is gorgeously produced and extraordinarily well done.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Of doubtful interest. Too mature.

EAST IS WEST. Lupe Velez. From the stage play by Samuel Shipman. Direction by Monte Bell. Universal.
A picture dealing with Chinese customs and the impossibility of reconciling the peoples of the East with those of the West. Though lacking some of the finesse and charm of the stage play, it will provide interesting entertainment for adults. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Doubtful — too mature. No.

ESCAPE. Gerald Du Maurier. From the stage play by John Galsworthy. Direction by Basil Dean. Associated Talking Pictures (English Company) in conjunction with R.K.O.
A realistic drama showing an Englishman sentenced to prison, his escape after two years of servitude, and his adventures during the forty-eight hours he is free. It is an intense and fascinating study in human nature, its actions and reactions. Excellently cast and produced, it is refreshingly different with its portrayal of English life and character, and cannot be too highly recommended for adults and more mature adolescents. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Probably very Too mature,
interesting.
FEET FIRST. Harold Lloyd. Direction by Clyde Bruckman. United Artists. (Seen in preview).
As a shoe salesman, demonstrating personality acquired in a correspondence school, Harold Lloyd gets into his usual comic difficulties guaranteed to keep the children on the edge of their chairs and hilariously amused.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Good. Excellent.
GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST. Ann Harding. From the play by David Belasco. Direction by John Francis Dillon. Warner-First National.
This is the story of a girl in a rough mining camp in early California days who protects the man she loves from the law. Miss Harding seems hardly the type for her part but her splendid talent makes the melodrama more interesting than it otherwise would be.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Probably entertaining. Doubtful.
HER MAN. Helen Twelvetrees, Ricardo Cortez, Phillip Holmes. Direction by Ray Garnet. Pathe.
A very depressing but convincing story of a little pick-pocket whose life is changed when she falls in love with a sailor. The whole environment and characters involved are sordid, nevertheless the picture is entertaining because it is well done. It cannot however be recommended for younger people as it is not a very honest or vital presentation of life.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. No. No.
