THE ENCHANTED HILLParamount A TRITE and shop worn Western story made interesting by a capable cast consisting of Jack Holt, Florence Vidor, Noah Beery and George Bancroft, lrvin Will. it, the director, has handled this with a certain freshness thai tends to rescue this from the usual run of Westerns. ' lis the same oM story of the heroine believing the stories the villain tells about the hero and you know all heroes are spotless. /\/ 177 WVOV nisi \atitmal CORINNE GRI1 I I I II dazzles as the ravishing heroine in this heavy, slow moving version of the stage play by Somerset Maugham. The only thing worth whih about the picture is Corinne's loveliness as she begins to accept the attentions of her husband's secretary.

We don't know whom to blame, for this is the silliest and most uninteresting picture seen in some time. Edmund Lowe essays a giddy role that is irritating, and Aileen Pringle assumes a cold attitude unbecoming to her. Not worth while. THE SONG AND DANCE MAN— Paramount THE film version of this famous George M. Cohan comedy is not about the Song and Dance Wan. It's about Bessie Love and her talented Charleston legs. She tucks the picture in her vanity case and walks away with it. Tom Moore gives an uninspired performance. The motivation of the screen play is very weak and the continuity jerky [ CONTINUED ON PAGE I :$ } 57
