THUNDERING TENORS. Charlie Chase, M.G.M. Slap stick comedy of no merit. Not recommended for any audience. SANDS OF EGYPT. Tom Terriss, Vagabond Adventure Series. Pathe. Travelogue descriptive of Cairo and the Nile but showing mainly an excavated town and the mummy found there. Interesting for all. — o — RACKETEERS. A Grantland Rice Sportlight. Pathe. Explaining the origin, development and method of playing tennis, jai-a-lai, and la cross. It will entertain and instruct any audience. — o — GEM OF AGRA. Tom Terris Vagabond Adventure Series. Pathe. Very beautiful pictures expertly photographed of the Taj Mahal with an im pressive explanatory talk on its history and meaning. — o — STRAIGHT AND NARROW. Warner Brothers. This short subject, presumably a comedy, is in exercrable taste. It depicts a gathering of ex-convicts, now prominent business men, who get together at frequent reunions to gloat over past experiences which are portrayed in detail. It is a particularly offensive reminder of the crime recorded daily in the newspapers and it is supposed to be funny! Not recommended as entertaining for any audience. — o — SEEING BERMUDA ON A BICYCLE. Talking Picture Epics, Inc. Accompanying description by Frank D. Ormston. An interestsing travelogue giving one an idea of some of the beauties of the island. Interesting for all but small children. —10—
