• TARZAN, THE APE MAN— M-G-M.— A glorilii'd fairy tale that goes Trader Horn one better. Swimming champ Johnny YVeissmuller is Tarzan. (April) TAXI — Warners. — The lowdown on the taxi-cab racket, with James Cagney and Loretta Young. Well-done. (Jan.) TEMPEST— UFA. — Emil Jannings fine in a German-made comedy-drama with English titles that help but do not adequately explain the action. (May) TERROR BY NIGHT— Famous Attractions.— Bet you can't guess before the last reel who did the murder. A good mvstery with comical Una Merkel and ZaSu Pitts. (Dec.) TEXAS GUN FIGHTER— Tiffany Prod.— Nothing new in this Western. (April) TEX TAKES A HOLIDAY— Argosy Prod.— This story of a Mexican cowboy wanders here, there and everywhere. But it wanders in color, which is a help. (March) THIRTY DAYS— Patrician.— A wealthy tenement owner plays the regeneration scene in jail. Betty Compson and Maureen O'Sullivan make it entertaining. (Jan.) THIS RECKLESS AGE— Paramount.— In spite of a grand cast (including Richard Bennett) this yarn came too late. The jazz age is pretty cold. (March) TIP OFF, THE— RKO-Pathe.— Fresh guy Eddie Ouillan gets mixed up with gangsters and a sprightly comedy is the result. (Jan.) TOMORROW AND TOMORROW — Paramount.— A grand but conversational stage play makes a rather dull "moving" picture. Ruth Chatterton and Paul Lukas. (March) • TONIGHT OR NEVER— United Artists. — A Gloria Swanson vehicle that sizzles and burns with snappy love scenes. And there's a new sex appeal lad named Melvyn Douglas. For the sophisticated. (Jan.) • TOUCHDOWN — Paramount. — A football picture that's different — with inside stuff on crooked methods used. Dick Arlen and Jack Oakie. (Jan.) TWO KINDS OF WOMEN— Paramount.— Miriam Hopkins is in it. So is Phillips Holmes. The story is weak but the acting isn't. (March) TWO SOULS (Zwei Menschen)— Cicero Prod.— Heavy drama and bright spots in the Tyrolese country neatly combined. English titles make it understandable to those who don't speak German. (March) UNDER EIGHTEEN— Warners.— A neat little picture, Marian Marsh's first starring one, about an innocent cloak model and a rich client. (Feb.) UNEXPECTED FATHER, THE— Universal.— Another little girl adopts a bachelor daddy. Hohum! Four-year-old Cora Sue Collins toddles off with the honors. (Feb.) Photoplay Magazine for Junk, 1932 UNION DEPOT -First National. — Hits of life as you see it in a railroad station. Dour. Fairbanks, Jr., turns in a splendid performance, one of hi best. (Feb.) U. S. CNOTRE DAME FOOTBALL GAME. THE — Sono Art-World Wide. — If you're a football fan, you must see this visual account of one of the greatest sports events of all time. (March) VANITY FAIR— Allied Pictures.— They've dressed Becky Sharp up in modern clothes and made her Myrna Loy, and if you didn't read the book you'll enjoy the picture. (May) WAY BACK HOME— Radio Pictures.— If you follow Seth Parker on the radio, you'll enjoy seeing as well as hearing him. He uses all his radio stuff. (Dec.) WAYWARD — Paramount. — A lot of plots wrapped in one celluloid package. Nancy Carroll, Richard Arlen and Pauline Frederick. (April) • WET PARADE— M-G-M.— Both sides of the prohibition problem presented in two hours of exciting, thrilling drama with an excellent east. Don't miss this. (May) WHISTLIN' DAN— Tiffany Prod.— A Ken Maynard Western with a plot above the average. (May) WHY SAPS LEAVE HOME— Best International Pictures. — England takes a jab at American gangsters in a hilarious travesty. (May) WISER SEX, THE— Paramount.— It has gangsters and politicians, but it also has Claudette Colbert and Lilyan Tashman. (April) WITHOUT HONOR— Supreme.— A Western with a fair amount of thrills. (April) WOMAN COMMANDS, A— RKO-Pathe.— Pola Negri in her comeback film is beautiful and alluring, but the story is trite and impossible. See Pola, anyhow. (Feb.) WOMAN OF MONTE CARLO, THE— First National. — Lil Dagover bows to American audiences in a weary, over-talkative drama. Lil could do better with better material. (Feb.) WORKING GIRLS— Paramount.— Two beautiful country blondes learn about life in the city. But not even Paul Lukas and Buddy Rogers can make the story and dialogue seem real. (Jan.) X MARKS THE SPOT— Tiffany Prod.— Another gangster-newspaper story inspired by the Lingle case. Pretty poor, except for a terrific climax. (Jan.) YELLOW TICKET, THE— Fox.— Russia before the revolution. The heroine fights for her honor. Old stuff made worthwhile by Elissa Landi and Lionel Barrymore. (Jan.) YOUNG BRIDE— RKO-Pathe.— Eric Linden and Helen Twelvetrees are better than the story. (May) ZANE GREY'S SOUTH SEA ADVENTURES— Sol Lesser. — Author Zane Grey goes fishing in the South Seas for five reels.
