Motion Picture Reviews Eleven SHORT SUBJECTS BABES IN THE WOOD » * A Silly Symphony in color. Walt Disney Production. United Artists. An ingenious and wholly delightful fantasy suggested by the German fairy tale. Charming entertainment for all. •w CLANCY OF THE MOUNTAINS » » Tom Tyler, Jacqueline Wells, Carl McCarthy. Suggested by poem by Robert Service. Direction by Ray Taylor. Universal. (Serial — eight chapters seen.) The plot concerns the responsiblity of Clancy of the Royal Canadian police to bring his brother, suspected of the murder of a miner, back to camp for trial. It is interesting in its problem of duty versus filial devotion and the situations are possible and natural. The settings are very beautiful. In spite of the necessarily thrilling chapter endings this serial has more logical interest than usual in this type of production. Adolescents, 12 to 16 Children, 8 to 12 Yes; depends on taste Exciting •w MAD DOCTOR » » Mickey Mouse Cartoon. Walt Disney Production. United Artists. Mickey is not to be outdone by the present rage for horror films — and goes to the rescue of his dog in the clutches of a “mad doctor” in heroic and sensational fashion. It is perhaps too nightmarish for children; the fad for thrills goes to great lengths even in cartoons. "V SO THIS IS HARRIS » » Phil Harris and his orchestra, and Walter Catlett. Direction by Mark Sandrich. RKO. A clever idea is spoiled by vulgarity. Phil Harris presents a musical novelty which is different and entertaining until Walter Catlett and the story inject vulgarity. TIGHT ROPE TRICKS » » A Tom and Jerry Cartoon. RKO. An amusing circus burlesque — original and full of fun. Family TUMBLE DOWN TOWN » » An Aesop Fable Cartoon. RKO. A rough and tumble fight between poor boys of shanty town and the bullies of the “gas works.” Quite good fun for all.
