Here's Your Monthly Shopping List! iV DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE— Paramount * JUVENILE d ZiedmanProd. HERE is a picture that partakes of the dual nature of its principal role. The first part is a "Dr. Jekyll" of beauty and drama. But when Dr. Jekyll becomes Mr. Hyde, the picture follows suit. Fredric March's work is splendid and Miriam Hopkins shares the honors. Too bad this filming of the Stevenson classic is not good fare for children nor even for adults who are easily unnerved. THE pathetic story of a boy who imitates the wrong kind of hero and goes overboard because of it. It's not a preachment, but it reveals conditions surrounding adolescent youth. It makes you think. Pat O'Brien, as the "boot-legging" hero, gives a fine performance, while Junior Durkin, as the worshipful lad who follows blindly, just about breaks your heart. Have yourself a good cry. COCK OF THE AIR— United Artists aw j^r'**"**** ^ ^Rt'tt^ ^r *!T*^J^r £T**« ^^^^B \ MVvm ^T TB 9 i lw ' il <^b<fc.<^ jl v JU I ■ 3B \iSS^^9uM ii m HK SOOKY— Paramount BILLIE DOVE emerges as a war-time Parisian beauty, so distractingly charming that she has to be sent into oblivion in order that the Allies can carry on. The story goes haywire somewhere. It obviously was meant to be whimsical, and ends by becoming almost slap-stick at times, and rather risque. Some daring bedroom scenes, fair amount of suspense, and gowns that will make you gasp. THIS lives up to the word "sequel" by its resemblance to "Skippy." Yet, the kids, young and old, will like it. Of course, Jackie Cooper is sensational. He pulls your heart right out with his tears and thjen puts it right back again with his smile. Robert Coogan is the same Sooky. Jackie Searl, as the sissy villain, is perfect. Splendid entertainment, this, for all the family. deliciousfox girl OF THE RIO— Radio Pictures ANY picture with Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell is of interest, and this is specially recommended because it is clean. Without Gaynor and Farrell you wouldn't walk two blocks to see it. But you will like the musical score by George Gershwin. Janet is a Scotch waif who tries to elude immigration officials. Charlie is the wealthy American. Encourage this clean picture by attending it. 50 THIS talkie version of "The Dove" is a singular come-back triumph for Dolores Del Rio. It conclusively proves her an excellent actress and one of the most beautiful women of the screen. The picture is good entertainment. Leo Carrillo as the villainous Caballero and Norman Foster as the Johnny of Dolores' heart are perfect, but Dolores takes the honors in her first picture made since her illness.
