Motion Picture Reviews T en MOROCCO NIGHTS » » Color Brevity. Vitaphone. Musical extravaganza set in night club. Noisy and vulgar. Unsuitable for children. OLD SHIP » » Chic Sale. Pete Smith Series. M-G-M. Chic Sales presents a moving picture of an old man who contemplates shooting his dog because he is old and rheumatic. As he remembers their twenty years of companionship he realizes that he cannot do it. It is sad but very well done. Family. Emotional for sensitive children in spite of happy ending. ^ PANDORA » » Terry Town Cartoon. Fox. A wicked witch gives two happy children a box out of which pops a flock of evil spirits. These create a reign of terror until a good fairy disposes of them. It is rather cleverly done, but it is too much of a nightmare for sensitive children. Not junior matinees. ■v PICTORIAL NOVELTY No. 12 » » Paramount. Life of humming birds and song makers of the air. Interesting for family. •w RASSLIN’ AROUND » » Willie Whopper. M-G-M. A burlesque of wrestling. The action is coarse and tiresome. Very objectionable for children. •w SCREEN SNAPSHOTS » » Columbia. Harriet Parsons pictures screen celebrities in Hollywood and at Agua Caliente in a way which will interest many. Family. SERVICE STRIPES » » Joe Penner. Vitaphone. An inane attempt at comedy portraying the A.E.F. in France. It is vulgar and objectionable. Not for children. SHOEIN’ HORSES » » Popeye Cartoon. Paramount. Harmless farcical cartoon which may appeal to children and “Popeye” fans. ■w SHORT SHORT STORY » » Paramount. An advertising trailer for the Mae West production, “It Aint No Sin” which, because of its vulgarity and suggestiveness, will complete the uproar over the release. •w UNDERNEATH THE BROADWAY MOON Isham Jones and orchestra. Paramount. A superior musical short of popular songs. Family. ■w VINCENT LOPEZ » » Music Master. Vitaphone. The music is engaging but the drinking scenes are in bad taste. Adults.
