Opportunity The Magazine That Finds Jobs and Teaches Salesmanship 919 North Michigan Avenue CHICAGO BEHIND STONE WALLS— May/air Pictures A DIVERTING film on the old father-son* * stepmother theme. An impetuous woman shoots her lover. The boy takes the rap to preserve his father's honor and illusions. The father is the district attorney; the boy won't talk. High-tension drama is the result. PrisciHa Dean is the attractive adventuress. Robert Elliott and Edward Nugent are line. THE MIDNIGHT PATROL— Monogram A NOTHER newspaper yarn, but with some ■* Mirand-new angles. Regis Toomey, as an ambitious cub reporter, does grand work, and Robert Elliott is a convincing detective. Hetty Bronson is the little girl they save from a notorious gang. Fast-paced, with a surprise finish. HIGH SPEED— Columbia nPH F usual auto racing yarn — villain cap■* tures heroine (Loretta Sayers), and hero (Buck Jones) rescues fair damsel in time to win big auto race and save her father from ruin. Plenty of action and good racing scenes. Nice work by Buck, but all acting honors go to Mickey McGuire, who is fine as Buck's little lame pal. LOVE BOUND— Peerless Prod. A SLOW, ponderous picture. The story ■**• deals with the catching of a blackmailer by the son of the man she has framed, but the picture detours a bit, too many people become involved and the outcome seems vague, even to the actors. Natalie Moorhead and Jack Mulhall. POLICE COURT— Monogram rT,HIS one creaks wearily across the screen — *■ an old-time melodrama with Henry B. Walthall, Aileen Pringle, King Baggott and Leon Janney. The story, another father and son yarn (wouldn't you just know it after "The Champ"?), shows the life of a once great actor who has sunk to the depths because of the demon rum. Pretty sad. THE THEFT OF THE MONA LISA— Tobis A YOUNG Italian lad is so fascinated by Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" that he sets it up as his ideal of womanhood, and actually finds a girl who bears a marked resemblance to her. His great desire to impress the girl explains his theft of the painting from the Louvre. English titles are few, making it lack interest for those who do not understand German. GOLDEN MOUNTAINS— Amkino A TEDIOUS Russian drama, recommended for insomnia sufferers. It seems that a lot of people are dissatisfied with a lot of things, but the Soviet government makes everything just dandy. Russian dialogue with English titles, which don't adequately explain what little action there. is. RONNY— UFA GERMAN* operetta with pleasant music, a handsome hero in the person of Willy Fritsch and a beautiful heroine, Kaethe von Nagy. Plenty of English captions help make the German dialogue understandable. The story is all about Ronny, a beautiful, but poor, costume designer, and the prince, who finally asks her to share his throne.
