All dialogue. Crook picture, played and directed with distinction. A cop's daughter sympathizes with underworld, marries a crook, but is soon disillusioned in a thrilling climax. Chester Morris, Eleanor Griffith, Pat O'Malley, Regis Toomey supply high lights in action and talk. "Letter, The" — Paramount. Entertaining eloquence and dramatic situations make this a milestone in all-dialogue films, and bring to the screen the gifted Jeanne Eagels. A civilized picture showing the wrecked lives of an English couple in Singapore. Stage cast devoid of cuties includes O. P. Heggie, Reginald Owen, and Herbert Marshall. "Iron Mask, The" — United Artists. A picturesque tapestry, sequel to "The Three Musketeers," superbly exploiting Douglas Fairbanks. Story from Dumas revolves around the throne of seventeenth-century France. Marguerite de la Motte, Dorothy Revier, William Bakewell, and Ulrich Haupt. FOR SECOND CHOICE. "Street Girl"— RKO. Singing and dialogue. Story of a girl found starving on the streets, who turns out to be the salvation of four musicians who befriend her. Hard to believe, but probably entertaining to majority. Betty Compson in the sugary role, Jack Oakie good as lines permit; John Harron, Ned Sparks, Guy Buccola. "Smiling Irish Eyes" — First National. All dialogue. Colleen Moore's first talkie, in which she is much better than the story deserves. An Irish lass lets her fiddling lad go to New York, and after a lot of transatlantic travel, they finally embrace over the wishing well, back on the ould sod. James Hall, Aggie Herring, Claude Gillingwater. "Say It With Songs"— -Warner. Singing and dialogue. Al Jolson's new picture, cut from previous patterns. A good deal of moviesque hocus-pocus, as well as sonny-boy songs, but perhaps you like them. Davey Lee and Marian Nixon. "Man and the Moment, The" — First National. Dialogue. Talking debut of Rod La Rocque, opposite Billie Dove, in glossy, diverting society film. A gay philanderer marries a sheltered girl, and his former sweetheart makes trouble. La Rocque's dialogue good. Besides the stars, there is Gwen Lee. "Hungarian Rhapsody" — Paramount. Sound. Smoothly directed, well-photographed film> in Hungarian setting. Charm rather .than wrenching moments. European favorites, Dita Parlo, Lil Dagover, and Willy Fritsch. Story of officer's love for girl and his career. "Lucky Star" — Fox. Part dialogue. A countryside idyl with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, and the director is Frank Borzage. As pretty and as good as one would expect, the story being that of a farm girl and her crippled exsoldier lover. Guinn Williams is the bad, bad villain. "Pleasure Crazed"— Fox. All dialogue. Wild scramble of melodrama, with a cast including three important talkie discoveries, Marguerite Churchill, Dorothy Burgess, Kenneth MacKenna. Intrigue and adventure around a country estate, crooks, jewels, and lovers. Well-played support. "The Time, the Place, and the Girl"— Warner. All dialogue. An amusing, lively story from the pompadour age. Grant Withers makes debut in talkies, with honors, as victim of a stock fraud, but he blunders out. Every moment good for a laugh. Betty Compson, John Davidson, Gertrude Olmsted. "Charming Sinners" — Paramount. All dialogue. A mild stage play denatured further for the screen, with much tea sipping and hand kissing. A constant wife catches up her husband and gives him a lecture and makes threats, all elegantly set forth by Ruth Chatterton, Clive Brook, and William Powell. Mary Nolan's first talkie appearance. "Behind That Curtain"— Fox. All dialogue. Very good film, in spite of the mystery being revealed too soon. Lois Moran in audible debut. Story of a girl who marries an adventurer in London and discovers in India that heis a murderer. Capital performance by Warner Baxter. Gilbert Emery, Philip Strange do well, also. "Broadway Babies" — First National. All dialogue. Backstage melodrama of the usual sort, with one redeeming sequence. Entertaining, with Alice White trying hard to act, and a good cast. Fred Kohler, as rum-running lover, magnificent. Charles Delaney, Sally Eilers, Marion Byron, Bodil Rosing. "Mysterious Doctor Fu-Manchu, The" — Paramount. All dialogue. Scotland Yard versus Doctor Fu, with plenty of Oriental trimmings, develops into a thrilling climax. The heroine is the ward of the Chinaman, and the gallant hero one of the latter's marked victims. Warner Oland, Neil Hamilton, O. P. Heggie, and Jean Arthur do well. "Four Feathers, The" — Paramount. Silent. English soldier loses his nerve before Sudan war, but later goes to the jungles to redeem himself in the eyes of fiancee and friends. Authentic, thrilling sequences made in the wilds, around which picture is cleverly built. Fay Wray, Richard Arlen, Clive Brook, William Powell, Noah Beery, Philippe de Lacy. "Black Watch, The"— Fox. All dialogue. Pictorially magnificent film about English soldier on the Afghan front, whose mission is to win love of girl leader of hill tribe. Stirring episodes, but falls short of its ambitions. Victor McLaglen, Myrna Loy, David Rollins, Mitchell Lewis, Roy d'Arcy. "Cocoanuts, The"— Paramount. All dialogue. The Four Marx Brothers bring their capers and humor to the screen, without loss of fun or individuality. Slight musical-comedy plot about a stolen necklace. Kay Francis, Cyril Ring, Oscar Shaw, and Mary Eaton. "Broadway" — Universal. All dialogue. Big in point of sets, story reminiscent. Show girls, wise-cracking boys, bootleggers in evening clothes, with gun play and love-making, all finally meeting suitable rewards. Old stuff made tolerable by embellishments. Thomas
