We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
REMOTE CONTROL. William Haines. Direction by Mai St. Claire and Nick Grinde. Adapted from play by North, Fuller and Nelson. M. G. M.
A conceited “wise cracking” radio announcer succeeds in thwarting a gang of crooks. The plot is novel and moves with speed, a sustained interest and a type of humor which will please any audience. And for once the crooks do not “outsmart” everyone!
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Very amusing. Entertaining.
RIVER’S END. Charles Bickford, Evalyn Knapp. Adapted from novel by James Oliver Curwood. Directed by Michael Curtiz. Seen in Preview. Warner Bros.
An entertaining portrayal of this well known story of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, admirably cast, directed and photographed. Charles Bickford plays the double role, of officer and his quarry who resembles him, and the action, suspense, and romance should have a wide appeal.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Exciting. Exciting but
passable.
ROGUE OF THE RIO GRANDE. Jose Bohr, Myma Loy. Direction by Spencer Bennett. Sono Art.
A rather fantastic melodrama depicting the love story of a Mexican bandit, a ‘Robin Hood’ who steals from the rich to give to the poor. The picture is dull, poorly cast, and mediocre throughout, with nothing particularly to commend it. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Not recommended. No.
SEE AMERICA THIRST. Harry Langdon, Slim Summerville. Direction by William Craft. Universal.
A burlesque on gunmen and gang wars which relates what happens to two tramps who are mistaken for notorious killers. A revival of the old slapstick comedy modernized into feature length, with the result that though it is amusing it drags considerably and just misses being really funny.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Probably amusing, but Better not.
not recommended.
THE SILVER HORDE. Evelyn Brent, Louis Wolheim. Direction by George Archainband. R.K.O.
A swift moving melodrama centering about a disappointed gold seeker who attempts to make a name for himself in the salmon industry. The plot is secondary to the interest in scenic backgrounds and in the whole process of the industry itself. The picture is too exciting and the story too involved for younger children, but there is a certain sweep and force about it which dwarfs some of the rather drab details and makes it worth while for others.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Perhaps. No.
THE SIN SHIP. Mary Astor, Ian Keith, Louis Wolheim. Direction by Louis Wolheim. Rodeo Films. Seen in preview.
An intense melodrama which is rather serious and heavy entertainment, telling a story of reformation. It is sordid in characters and detail, making it unsuitable for children.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. No. No.
