SHIPMATES— M-G-M — Plenty of pep and action, plus the United States Navy, make this a veritable gale of laughter from beginning to end. Robert Montgomery heads the cast. (June) SINGLE SIN, THE— Tiffany Prod.— Nothing new, but splendidly handled. Kay Johnson does some fine acting. Bert Lytell, Mathew Betz and Paul Hurst lend good support. (April) 6 CYLINDER LOVE— Fox.— An amusing farce with a pretty obvious plot. (July) •SKIPPY — Paramount. — Jackie Cooper as Skippy, and Bobby Coogan as Sooky entirely lovable in this grand picture based on Percy Crosby's famous comic strip. Young and old alike will love it. (May) SKY RAIDERS, THE— Columbia.— Gangsters in the airl Thrilling stuff and good entertainment. (July) • SMART MONEY— Warners.— Moves as fast as the money on the gambling tables in it. Plenty of laughs and excitement. (July) • SMILING LIEUTENANT, THE — Paramount.— One of the breeziest and most tuneful entertainments in a long time. Chevalier at his best, under Lubitsch direction. See it. (July) SOUS LES TOITS DE PARIS (Under the Roofs of Paris) — Tobis. — Skilful pantomine makes this enjoyable French dialogue picture comprehensible without knowledge of that language. Two of the songs are hummers. (Feb.) • STEPPING OUT— M-G-M.— Charlotte Greenwood, Leila Hyams, Reg. Denny, Cliff Edwards, Merna Kennedy, Harry Stubbs and Lilian Bond make this light comedy one continual laugh. See it. (May) STOLEN HEAVEN— Paramount.— Slow, unreal story. Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes fine in the romantic moments. (April) • STRANGERS MAY KISS— M-G-M— Norma Shearer, the last word in sophistication and beautifully gowned in a vivid drama of modern life by the same author as "The Divorcee." To be seen. (May) SUBWAY EXPRESS— Columbia.— Jack Holt in a thrilling mystery of the stage that lost its kick in the movie version. (July) SUNRISE TRAIL, THE— Tiffany Productions. — A Western with too much talking and not enough action. (March) SVENGALI — Warners. — Well worth seeing for John Barrymore's superb performance in the title role The story is rathei gruesome. Don't take the children. (June) SWANEE RIVER— Sono Art-World Wide.— Thelma Todd and Grant Withers try, but just can't save this melodrama from being anything but ordinary. (May) • TABU — Paramount. — A poem of a picture laid in the South Seas, with an all-native cast, beautifully directed by the late F. W. Murnau. Fine synchronized musical score. (May) TAILOR MADE MAN, A— M-G-M— The jaunty and self-confident Bill Haines plays this old Charlie Ray silent with a new restraint that is delightful. You'll laugh and like it. (May) TARNISHED LADY— Paramount.— Introducing Tallulah Bankhead, from Alabama and the London stage, in a heavy love drama. Clive Brook is the leading man. (June) TEN CENTS A DANCE— Columbia— (Reviewed under the title "Anybody's Girl") — A realistic story of a taxi-dancer's disillusionment. Barbara Stanwyck and Ricardo Cortez are great. (Feb.) TEXAS RANGER, THE— Columbia.— Carmelita Geraghty is the gal. Buck Jones the hero. (July) 3 LOST GIRLS— Fox.— Loretta Young, Joan Marsh and Joyce Compton are the three little girls who come to the big city. Lew Cody good as the racketeer and John Wayne not so good. (April) TOO MANY COOKS — Radio Pictures. — Bert Wheeler's first starring picture, minus Mr. Woolsey. Plenty of laughs, some lumps in the throat and Dorothy Lee as the heart appeal. (June) • TRADER HORN— M-G-M.— Harry Carey magnificent as Trader Horn. Story of the African jungle, full of the tensest drama and perfection in photography. (March) TRAPPED — Big Four. — Fights, songs, gangste.rs night clubs, murders, chases, plus a confused plot. (June) TRAVELING HUSBANDS — Radio Pictures. Risque but not objectionably so. Top-notch acting, with Evelyn Brent in the lead. (July) TWO WORLDS — British International.— An honest, dramatic story of inter-racial clashes — probably the best of the recent English films. (Feb.) UNDER MONTANA SKIES— Tiffany Productions.— Slim Summerviile saves a pretty weak picture about a stranded showgirl. (Feb.) UNFAITHFUL— Paramount.— Ruth Chatterton, a society matron who can't divorce her faithless husband (Paul Cavanaugh) without involving her own sister-in-law, and so goes to the dogs. Good for the Chatterton fans. (May) UP FOR MURDER— Universal.— (Reviewed under the title "Fires of Youth.") Talkie version of the old silent, "Man, Woman and Sin." Lew Ayres and Genevieve Tobin struggle through. Pretty badly worn plot. (April) UP POPS THE DEVIL— Paramount.— Young love and its struggles neatly handled by Norman Foster, as a young author, and his wife, played by Carole Lombard. Sprightly dialogue. (July) UPPER UNDERWORLD — First National.— Different from the average racketeering picture and bound to make you think. (July) • VICE SQUAD, THE— Paramount.— Besides being something that will keep you interested, this is a picture you'll think about. Paul Lukas, Kay Francis and Helen Johnson are excellent. (July) VIRTUOUS HUSBAND, THE— Universal.— One of those over-sexed things. Starts off to be a howl ana then goes serious and ends by being pretty bad. (June) WAITING AT THE CHURCH— Radio Pictures. — An amusing story with lovely Technicolor effects. (July) WESTWARD BOUND— Syndicate.— Buffalo Bill, Jr., with his guns and horse in another Western. (Feb.) WHITE SHOULDERS— Radio Pictures.— Rex Beach's dramatic story makes an interesting picture. Jack Holt, Mary Astor and Ricardo Cortez form the triangle. (July) WHITE THUNDER.— The eternal triangle story is secondary to the magnificent photography showing the terrifying vast iciness of Newfoundland. (March) WILD MEN OF KALIHARI— Travel Film.— Mildly interesting African adventure — without much faking. (Feb.) WILD WEST WHOOPEE— Cosmo.— Jack Perrin in a conventional Western saved by a thrilling rodeo sequence and the noble work of his horse, StarlightJosephine Hill is the heroine. (May) WOMAN BETWEEN, THE— Radio Pictures.— Heavy drama with lots of emotion and a song from Lily Damita. Miriam Seegar is the one bright spot (June) WOMAN OF EXPERIENCE, A— RKO-Pathe.— Only average entertainment, in spite of a cast which does its best. Helen Twelvetrees, ZaSu Pitts and Lew Cody. (July) WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS — Fox.— Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen as Quirt and Flagg of "What Price Glory" fame, continue their adventures. Good, rough entertainment, but not a Sunday school text. (July) YELLOW MASK, THE— British International.— An attempt to mix music, comedy and melodrama. But they don't mix. (Feb.) YOUNG AS YOU FEEL— Fox.— Another grand Will Rogers' film, funny enough to make you forget a toothache. (July) • YOUNG DONOVAN'S KID— Radio Pictures.— Good. From Rex Beach's story "Big Brother." Little Jackie Cooper practically steals the show m spite of Dix's excellent work. (July) YOUNG SINNERS — Fox.— The old story of modern kids in a jazz and cocktail setting. Thomas Meigfian is a bright spot, Dorothy Jordan and Hardie Albright give an exhibition of couch wrestling. (July)
