Scientific Reducing Belt and also your special 10-day trial offer. Address in the World War. Marred only by a weak story. "Buddy" Rogers, Clara Bow, Richard Arlen, and Jobyna Ralston. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" — Universal. Exciting screen version of this old-time favorite. Full of thrills, horrors, laughter and tears. Arthur Edmund Carewe, Margarita Fischer and George Siegmann. "Underworld" — Paramount. Exciting melodrama of master crook who kills for the sake of his girl, is sentenced to death, and makes a thrilling escape only to find the girl in love with another. George Bancroft, Evelyn Brent, and Give Brook. "We're All Gamblers"— Paramount. Thomas Meighan in swift film of prize fighter who, after being incapacitated in an automobile accident, opens a night club, with romantic results. "Abie's Irish Rose" — Paramount. Good acting and sincere direction. No emotional thrills. Charles Rogers is good, as Abie. Nancy Carroll perfect, as Rosemary, Jean Hersholt, Bernard Gorcey, and Ida Kramer. "Glorious Betsy"— Warner. A nice picture, tearful, charming, lingering. Vitaphone dialogue unpleasant, but Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel are charming and agreeable in their roles. John Miljan and Marc McDermott. "Hangman's House" — Fox. Commonplace story, with exceptionally beautiful atmosphere, a tribute to the skill and imagination of the director. June Collyer is an aristocratic beauty, but not an emotional one. Larry Kent, Victor McLaglen, and Earle Foxe. "Ramona"— United Artists. Another beautifully scenic picture. Mild story. Dolores del Rio is picturesque in title role. Warner Baxter is vital and Roland Drew proves languishingly romantic. "Kentucky Courage" — First National. Based on "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." Richard Barthelmess plays Chad with surprising skill. An impressive cast including Molly O'Day, Claude Gillingwater, and Doris Dawson. "Big Noise, The"— First National. _ A shrewd and unusual political satire. Fine performances. Chester Conklin, Bodil Rosing, Alice White, Sam Hardy, Ned Sparks, and Jack Egan. "Circus Rookies" — Metro-Goldwyn. Lively and rather clever. Will please admirers of Karl Dane and George K. Arthur. Louise Lorraine is good, and Fred Humes is appropriately terrifying. RECOMMENDED— WITH RESERVATIONS. "Bringing Up Father" — MetroGoldwyn. Rowdy but human slapstick comedy, based on the comic strip of same name. Polly Moran, Farrell MacDonald, and Marie Dressier. "Chinese Parrot, The"— Universal. A mystery picture without suspense and very little mystery. Story of a string of evil-cursed pearls and their many travels. Marian Nixon, Edmund Burns, and Anna May Wong. "Divine Woman, The"— Metro-Goldwyn. Not so divine. Greta Garbo miscast as an actress who will not acknowledge her soldier-sweetheart after she becomes a star, attempts suicide and is saved, of course, by the hero. They live happily, et cetera. Lars Hanson is the boy friend. "Dress Parade" — Pathe-DeMille. William Boyd miscast as smart-aleck cadet at West Point who is taken down a peg or two. Bessie Love is the commandant's daughter. "Fast and Furious" — Universal. Typical Reginald Denny film, but not up to his usual mark. Story of a young man afraid of automobiles who is forced into a race in order to win his girl. "Figures Don't Lie" — Paramount. Trivial, uninteresting tale of a stenographer, a go-getter salesman who is jealous of her employer, and the employer's wife, who is jealous of the stenog.
