Theodore Von Eltz fine as the racketeer. (Jan.) RENEGADES OF THE WEST— RKO-Radio.— A Tom Keene Western with a twist. Rosco Ates does the clowning. (Dec.) RIDE HIM, COWBOY— Warners.— A good, riproaring Western, with John Wayne heroing. (Sept.) ROBBERS' ROOST— Fox— A gTand Western! George O'Brien and Maureen O'Sullivan in top form. (Feb.) ROCKABYE — RKO-Pathe — Constance Bennett in a mother love story that misses the mark but provides background for the star's charm. Joel McCrea plays opposite her, and Jobyna Howland is a riot as an inebriated mother. (Jan.) SCARLET DAWN— Warners.— Douglas Fairbanks. Jr., as refugee Russian noble, Nancy Carroll playing his forgiving peasant wife and Lilyan Tashman portraying the other woman can't make this move. (Dec.) SCHUBERT'S DREAM OF SPRING— Capital Film. — Taken from episodes in Schubert's life. His "Serenade" is the theme song. German dialogue and English captions. (Sept.) SECRETS OF THE FRENCH POLICE— RKORadio. — Thrilling if unconvincing drama of the French police unravelling several murder mysteries. With Gwili Andre, Frank Morgan, Gregory Ratoff and John Warburton. (Jan.) SELF-DEFENSE — Monogram. — Pauline Frederick has her troubles running a Canadian saloon and gambling hall on the level. Interesting, thanks to Pauline. (Feb.) 70,000 WITNESSES — Paramount-Charles R. Rogers. — Murder on the goal line of a football field. So the game is re-enacted, play by play, and the murderer is discovered. Johnny Mack Brown, Phillips Holmes, Charles Ruggles and Dorothy Jordan. (Oct.) SHERLOCK HOLMES — Fox. — The master sleuth baffling gangsters invading London. Thrilling and humorous. Clive Brook does a different Sherlock. (Dec.) SIGN OF FOUR, THE— World Wide.— Arthur Wontner again makes a perfect Sherlock Holmes, supported by a fine, all-English cast. (Oct.) • SIGN OF THE CROSS, THE— Paramount. — Charles Laughton's subtly satirical Nero, admirably supported by Claudette Colbert and Fredric March, make this De Millean spectacle of ancient Rome noteworthy. But don't take the children. (Feb.) • SILVER DOLLAR— First National.— Edward Robinson shines as the genial, susceptible prospector of early Colorado mining days, who reaches the U. S. Senate but loses his fortune with the silver standard downfall. Aline MacMahon and Bebe Daniels. (Jan.) • SIX HOURS TO LIVE— Fox— A man scientifically brought back from death to serve his country. Warner Baxter's is a memorable performance, Miriam Jordan is lovely and John Boles fine as the other suitor. (Dec.) SKYSCRAPER SOULS— M-G-M — The drama of a skyscraper! A most unusual picture, with a fine cast including Warren William. (Sept.) SLIGHTLY MARRIED — Invincible. — Slightly entertaining, with Walter Bvron and Evalyn Knapp. (Feb.) • SMILIN' THROUGH— M-G-M.— A poignant love story. Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, Fredric March, O. P. Heggie — all at their best! Don't miss this treat. (Nov.) • SON-DAUGHTER, THE— M-G-M— Helen Hayes, though loving Ramon Novarro (a prince in disguise) marries a repulsive fellow (Warner Oland) so her father (Lewis Stone) can have ammunition money; later strangles her husband with his own queue. (Feb.) SPEAK EASILY — M-G-M. — Jimmy Durante does a swell burlesque of himself in this goofiest of comedies. Buster Keaton is funny too. See this! {Sept.) SPEED DEMON — Columbia. — Nothing unusual, but youngsters will like the speed-boat races. (Feb.) SPORT PARADE— RKO-Radio.— The line-up was good but there's no touchdown here. And with Joel McCrea, William Gargan and Marian Marsh, too. (Dec.) • STRANGE INTERLUDE— M-G-M— From a technical standpoint — the most daring picture ever produced. Imagine Eugene O'Neill's analytical play in movies! The utterance of unspoken thoughts makes the film both novel and interesting. Norma Shearer and Clark Gable astonishingly good. (Sept.) STRANGE JUSTICE — RKO-Radio. — Storv doesn't ring true, but excellently directed and weil acted. About a Broadway play boy, a hat check girl and a chauffeur. (Nov.) TELEGRAPH TRAIL, THE— Warners— Pioneer story of the telegraph with Indian menace. Romance by John Wayne and Marceline Day. Fine for kids. (Dec.) TESS OF THE STORM COUNTRY— Fox — For Farrell-Gaynor devotees, though Farrell's part is subordinate in a complicated, draggy story. Janet Gaynor does well as the daughter of a sea captain who becomes a squatter and is implicated in a murder. (Jan.) THAT'S MY BOY— Columbia.— Richard Cromwell, with Dorothy Jordan, put zip into this football yarn. (Feb.) THE STOKER— First Division-Allied.— Even the American Marines get into this melodramatic jumble. Pretty poor stuff. (Sept.) THEY CALL IT SIN— First National.— Loretta Young lovely as the church organist who falls in love with the city boy (David Manners). George Brent and Una Merkel help make this entertaining. (Nov.) THEY JUST HAD TO GET MARRIED— Universal. — Slim Summerville (a butler) and ZaSu Pitts (a maid) can't decide to be divorced. Weak story. (Feb.) THIRTEENTH GUEST, THE— First DivisionMonogram. — A thrilling murder mystery, with bright dialogue and comedy to offset the horror. (Nov.)

THIS SPORTING AGE— Columbia.— Romance born of polo and army life, with Jack Holt, Walter Byron, Hardie Albright and Evalyn Knapp. (Dec.) THOSE WE LOVE— World Wide.— Slow moving story about a novelist, his self-sacrificing wife and the other woman. Lilyan Tashman, Mary Astor and Kenneth MacKenna. (Nov.) THREE ON A MATCH— First NationalTragedy follows bucking the superstition. Ann Dvorak, Joan Blondell and Bette Davis are the violators, Warren William and Lyle Talbot the men. (Dec.) THRILL OF YOUTH, THE— First DivisionInvincible. — About a young couple and an older pair who finally find their way to happiness. (Nov.) • TIGER SHARK— First National.— An exciting adventure picture. Edward G. Robinson is great, and Zita Johann brings a new type of shady dame to the screen. (Oct.) *TOM BROWN OF CULVER — Universal. — All the action takes place at Culver Military Academy. A swell picture for the whole family to see. (Sept.) TOO BUSY TO WORK— Fox— An insipid attempt making Will Rogers dramatic. But he makes parts good. (Dec.) TRAILING THE KILLER— World Wide.— For dog lovers. Animals, wild and domestic, in a drama with few humans. (Dec.) • TROUBLE IN PARADISE— ParamountReal entertainment! Intriguing, sophisticated, colorful story. Perfect acting by Herbert Marshall, Miriam Hopkins and Kay Francis and Lubitsch direction. This comedy of crooks and a witching widow reveals a different, fascinating Herbert Marshall. (Dec.) TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS IN SING SING — First National. — Rather unconvincing story of a swaggering tough's prison life from cell through death house, made real by Spencer Tracy's acting and good dialogue. Bette Davis, Lyle Talbot and Arthur Byron give good support. (Jan.)
