SUNNY. Marilyn Miller, Joe Donahue. Direction by William Seitz. First National.
A typical musical comedy theme, farcical in character with the humor characteristic of the type, which is pleasantly entertaining and adequate perhaps as a setting for Marilyn Miller's charming personality and exquisite dancing. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 6 to 12. Possibly entertaining. If it interests.
TODAY, Katherine Dale Owen, Conrad Nagel. Direction by William Nigh. R. K. 0.
A story of the adjustments necessary in the lives of a young couple suddenly plunged from luxury to poverty by a crash in the stock market. It is well acted and directed and holds the interest for adults but not for children. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. No interest. No interest.

TOL’ABLE DAVID. Richard Cromwell. Adapted from the novel by Joseph Hergesheimer. Direction by John Blystone. Columbia.
This is a new version of the entertaining story which, as a silent picture left so vivid an impression. It is the story of a Kentucky mountain boy, considered only “tol’able grown” by the members of his family, who has to assume the responsibility of the family when tragedy comes. It has been well cast, and the characterizations are uniformly excellent. The story sweeps toward a powerful and intensely emotional climax which makes it quite unsuitable for children. Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. A matter of taste: No: too exciting,
interesting.
TONIGHT AND YOU (Under Suspicion) J. Harold Murray, Lois Moran. Direction by Alfred Erickson. Fox.
The story of a young English aviator who, in attempting to shield his younger brother during the war, accepts a stain on his own character. He enlists in the Canadian Royal Mounted Police hoping there will be an opportunity to make a name for himself. The scenes are exceptionally beautiful and the picture for the most part well done — a realistic drama which emphasizes honor and loyalty, and which at the same time is interesting and entertaining throughout.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Recommended. Probably too
mature.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUTH. Lorretta Young, Myma Loy, Conway Tearle. Direction by William Seiter. First National.
A good caste is wasted on a trivial vehicle — the story of a boy who does not realize the real values in life until he suffers bitterly. The title is misinformative because the conditions pictured are unnatural and do not truthfully depict youth generally. It is a waste of time for adults and unsuitable for children.
Adolescents, 12 to 16. Children, 8 to 12. Better not. No.
WAR NURSE. June Walker, Anita Page, Robert Montgomery. Adapted from story by Rebecca West. Direction by Edgar Selwyn. M. G. M.
“War Nurse” attempts to be another war epic eulogizing women’s part in the struggle, but the result is sentimental sensationalism which holds the attention through hectic incident and because of an adequate cast. No doubt the incidents
