(June.) *MOTHER MACHREE — Fox. — Get out your handkerchiefs; this is a tear-fest. The story of the Irish mother is conventional but Belle Bennett's performance plucks at the heart strings. And little Philippe de Lacy will delight you. What a boy I (M ay.) MY HOME TOWN— Ravart.— The hero is charged with manslaughter, jail-breaking, safebreaking, bootlegging and blackmailing.

(April.) *NIGHT OF MYSTERY, A— Paramount.— Adolphe Menjou involved in the romantic dilemma of a captain of the French-African Chausseurs. One of his most attractive pictures. With Evelyn Brent. Adult amusement. (May.) *NOOSE, THE — First National. — Richard Barthelmess again gets a picture worthy of his talents. An extra-fine melodrama that will hold you spellbound. (March.)

ON THE GO — -Action. — Something different — a western with a lot of laughs. (June.) ON YOUR TOES— Universal.— Well, there’s a good prize fight episode. With Reginald Denny. (March.) OPENING NIGHT, THE — Columbia. — One moment of cowardice wrecks the life of an otherwise fine man. A drama worth seeing.

ROAD TO RUIN, THE— Cliff Broughton.— Sponsored by tile Juvenile Courts, this film should only be shown to selected audiences. A sensational portrayal of a deplorable social evil, with nothing left to the imagination. If you like this sort of thing — (May.) ROSE-MARIE — Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. — Adapted from the musical comedy. Exciting doings and hot romance among the fur traders of Canada. With Joan Crawford and James Murray. (March.) RUSH HOUR, THE— Pathe-De Mille.— Conventional stuff, ornamented by Marie Prevost and Seena Owen. Oh, dear, these eternal working girls! (April.) SADDLE MATES— Pathe.— Wally Wales indulges in a lot of rough and tumble fighting. You’ve guessed it — it’s a Western. (May.) *SADIE THOMPSON— United Artists. — Gloria Swanson triumphs over the censors. A racy, ironic and dramatically fine story, with a swell performance by Lionel Barrymore and Gloria's finest acting to date. Not for eighth-grade intelligences, but real stuff for persons of normal, healthy mentalities. (April.) SAILORS’ WIVES— First National— A fumigated sequel to "Flaming Youth.’’ A couple of suburban orgies enliven it, but it is mostly sombre. Mary Astor does her darndest to act wild. (May.) SALLY OF THE SCANDALS— FBO— Bessie Love puts life into a back-stage story that might have been dull. (August.) SAN FRANCISCO NIGHTS— Gotham.— Mae Busch, as a cabaret girl, rescues Percy Marmont from life in the underworld. Mae’s a good trouper. (April.) SATAN AND THE WOMAN— Excellent— Showing how a narrow-minded small town can be mean to a pretty girl like Claire Windsor. Fie on them! (April.) SCARLET DOVE, THE— Tiffany-Stahl.— Military life in Czarist Russia. Mostly bedroom scenes. Lowell Sherman — the cur — acts grand and wears as many gaudy uniforms as a Roxy usher. (July.) SCARLET YOUTH— S. S. Millard.— Supposed to have a big social message; one of those medical films that plays to “men only” and "women only” audiences. Don’t let them kid you. It’s just to get the easy money of anyone simple enough to be takeain by the sensational advertising. (A pril.) SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS— First National Pure Harold Bell Wright and very sweet and clean. But just a teeny, weeny bit slow. (March.) SHOWDOWN, THE — Paramount. — A good picture of life in the depressing Mexican oil fields.
