Watch Photoplay's New Sound Reviews SOMEONE TO LOVE^ Paramount NAUGHTY BABY— First National BUDDY ROGERS' second starring vehicle is a clean, delightful comedy drama that any audience will enjoy. He is supported by Mary Brian, whose feminine charm becomes more apparent in each picture. A young man with honest intentions becomes the victim of a fortune-hunting scheme of his associates, and as a result very nearly loses his sweetheart. The picture is a story of young and innocent love. NAUGHTY, naughty! Li'l Alice White and Jack MulhaU make bad picture. Li'l Alice White doesn't wear any clothes, just like Clara Bow, but that isn't the naughty part. It's naughty for producers to bore you and make you waste the nicest evening. Oh, there's a cloak room girl and a rich boy. And maybe he isn't rich, but just a badie. Yes, he's rich. No, he isn't. Well, yes, he is. And what of it? ADORATION —First National AVALANCHE — Paramount THIS is the love song of a Romanoff prince and princess, written by Lajos Biro, author of "The Last Command." It rises above the chaosof revolution and is drowned for a while in the clatter of post-war Paris. It is unique in that both principals are of the same social cast. . A perfectly constructed picture, in which Billie Dove's acting is second only to her exquisite beauty. Stimulating entertainrfient. THE combination of Zane Grey and Jack Holt means good he-man opera — and this picture is no exception. Holt is a "square" gambler who goes crooked in order to send his younger brother to college. Baclanova all but takes the picture with her splendid work as a dance hall girl in love with Holt. John Darrow, as the younger brother, and Doris Hill as the girl sweetheart, are both good. A high-class Western. GERALDINE —Pathe THE RED MARK— Pathe THIS is about a gal who needs to know the ways of men. It's by Booth Tarkington, and light and funny. Marion Nixon is the gal, and Eddie Quillan the industrious youth who undertakes her education. Gaston Glass is the man she needs to know about. The plot doesn't matter. A cafe, liquor, laughter, a raid, jail, then the girl and the right young man find their love. It's good — and watch Eddie Quillan. EL ONE of those depressing affairs of abused prisoners in a tropical penal institution. The cruel governor wants to marry the daughter of one of the prisoners. She, however, has a weakness for a handsome young prisoner who is about to be paroled. When the horrid villain discovers this, he cancels the parole and has her lover led to the guillotine — only then to discover it is his long lost son! Can you bear it?
