THE GREAT MEADOW. Eleanor Boardman, Johnny Mack Brown, Lucile La Verne. Adapted from novel by Elizabeth Madox Roberts. Direction by Stromberg. M. G. M.
A charming story of a pioneer family travelling from the early settlements of Virginia to a new and more fertile valley in Kentucky. The hardships of their struggles through swamps, forests, and over mountains, and the difficulties encountered later are a fitting background for this love story with its unusual and strange denouement. The cast is excellent throughout, but details of the picture as previewed are not entirely logical. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Interesting. Indian attacks
too exciting.

THE INDIANS ARE COMING. Tim McCoy, Allene Ray. Direction by Henry McRae. Universal. 12 chapters.
A chapter story dealing with adventure in the early mining days when
settlers traveled West in wagon trains through the dangerous country of hostile Indians. The story is more logical than many serials, the characterizations are clear and convincing, and are established early in the story. The production is not particularly accurate historically nor very careful in detail, but on the whole it is entertaining, and junior audiences will undoubtedly like its happy romance, swift action, and picturesque setting. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Possibly interesting. Entertaining.

From every standpoint the picture is excellently done, and should undoubtedly rank high in entertainment value.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Yes. Too mature.

JUST IMAGINE. El Brendel. Direction David Butler. Fox.
A fantastic and amusing prophesy of what life may be fifty years from now. It is novel if not very imaginative. Its appeal is entirely a matter of taste, but it is considered on the whole as suitable for family or junior audiences because the sophistication will not be apparent and the fantasy may amuse.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Chldren, 8 to 12. Yes. Yes.
