[ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 71 IT'S A SMALL WORLD— FOX /T1AY dialogue in a wisp of a story presents ^-^ Spencer Tracy and Wendy Barrie as two whose cars crash in a Louisiana swamp, leaving them stranded. Tracy falls hard, but believes the girl to be a notorious divorcee. Complications are adjusted with numerous laughs. Wendy Barrie has something new. Spencer is easy and assured. Light and amusing. THE HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTERMONOGRAM KIORMAN FOSTER is the schoolmaster ' ^who finds himself in the Indiana hotbed after the Civil War, and Charlotte Henry plays her first grown-up role. Fred Kohler, Jr. and Wallace Reid, Jr. look like promising material. Others in the cast of this old time favorite are: Dorothy Libaire, Tommy Bupp, William V. Mong and Russell Simpson. BABY FACE HARRINGTON— M-G-M AN amusing, none too unusual little story about the timid soul whom everyone mistakes as a big-shot gangster, and who, in the end, is turned into a hero. Charlie Butterworth, with his sad, rather expressionless face turns in an ideal characterization. Nat Pendleton as Public Enemy No. 1 is fine. So are, Donald Meek, and Una Merkel who should have had more to do. HOLD 'EM YALE— PARAMOUNT DATHER a weak but pleasant little program ^picture, involving four thugs who inherit a lady — not literally, but it amounts to that. Patricia Ellis falls for uniforms, causing grief and_ expense to her fond papa, so he invites the comic gangsters to keep her. It winds up with a football game between "Harvards" and the "Yales" — and Larry Crabbe, papa's choice — wins the game and the girl. Cesar Romero gets better in every picture. William Frawley, Andy Devine, George E. Stone. DEATH FLIES EAST— COLUMBIA W/HAT originally made very good reading vv concocted by Philip Wylie emerges, on the screen, as an irritatingly illogical story with much too much air-liner. Both Conrad Nagel and Florence Rice do well with it all, but the comedians, Oscar Apfel, Raymond Walburn and Irene Franklin have to struggle desperately with material that simply is not funny. But it isn't very interesting. WHILE THE PATIENT SLEPT— FIRST NATIONAL IUST another murder mystery, and pretty ^thin in spots. For your suspense and excitement you follow Aline MacMahon and Guy Kibbee as they track down the murderer of a paralytic's son. It's not their fault that the story sags, for they're both in top form, as is Allen Jenkins who struggles manfully to make you laugh. Robert Barrat, Lyle Talbot and Patricia Ellis hold up in support. MARK OF THE VAMPIRE— M-G-M ANY picture presenting Lionel Barrymore gives you some pretty good acting, but here he labors with a confused and incoherent story. All about vampires who live in an otherwise deserted castle and suck out I people's life blood — ugh! But in the end they're just stooges who help solve a murder. CHASING YESTERDAY— RKO-RADIO A RATHER pallid film version of "The ' Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard" by Anatole France. Motivated by nostalgia over a youthful and frustrated romance, O. P. Heggie seek? out and adopts, after some legal difficulties Anne Shirley, daughter of his one-time sweetheart; but this story, while straight enough. doesn't seem very important in the screen telling. There are excellent characterization^ by Helen Westley and Elizabeth Patterson. When you see Bill Powell in the mystery drama, "Star of Midnight," he's gay and debonair. But discussing the script with Stephen Roberts, the director, Bill is certainly taking the picture seriously
