comes to Morocco to forget a past which is only suggested. She meets a private in the Foreign Legion and a millionaire artist, both of whom love her. The plot is unimportant, its development melodramatic, but the three characters become living persons in whom we believe. The background of the Algerian Desert setting has been faithfully reproduced, and sound, apart from the dialogue, is immensely important in the general effect. The intelligent direction of sound, photography, action, and acting has given us a convincing and very interesting picture.

OH, FOR A MAN. Jeannette MacDonald, Reginald Denny. Direction by Hamilton MacFadden. Fox.
The story of a temperamental prima donna who marries a burglar and finds that he does not fit into her scheme of living. The play is unconvincing because it does not ring true, and it is not sufficiently amusing to be of any great interest to an intelligent audience. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. No. No.

ONE NIGHT AT SUSIE’S. Billie Dove, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Based on story by Frederick Hazlett Brennan. Direction by John Francis Dillon. First National.
The plot is highly sensational melodrama which is well enough acted and directed to hold the interest in spite of the story. It deals with characters of the demi monde who work out their salvation satisfactorily for dramatic requirements.

ONLY SAPS WORK. Leon Errol. Adapted from play by Owen Davis. Direction by Cyril Gardner and Edwin Knoff. Paramount.
A very light and absurdly humorous farce comedy featuring Leon Errol as a ridiculous scamp who lives by thieving. The romantic interest is carried by Mary Brian and Richard Arlen as her suitor whom the crook involves in a bank robbery. The theme and absurdities are worked out with originality making it highly amusing for the average adult, but clever and successful evasion of the law, even in burlesque, can hardly be recommended as suitable entertainment for children.

THE PASSION FLOWER. Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford, Kay Francis. From the novel by Kathleen Norris. Direction by William De Mille. M. G. M.
A good story, excellent acting, clever direction, beautiful photography, combine to make a thoroughly finished and convincing drama of human relations. It is the old theme of the infatuation of a a young husband for another woman, but the characterizations are subtle and are so humanly presented that they become significant and the picture is rarely interesting for an adult audience. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Too sophisticated. Too mature.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PLUMBER. Charles Farrell, Maureen O’Sullivan. From the story by Alice Duer Miller. Direction by Alexander Korda. Fox.
A wholesome sweet little fairy tale probably of no great interest to a sophisticated audience. It is amusing but uninspired.
