fe t ' s G o t o You Movie Fans Want Your Money s Worth. Screenland's for Worth-While Entertainment. Read Them Noisy Neighbors Again Eddie Quillan knocks a home run! In this talking film he and the rest of his vaudeville family are left a fine southern estate. Quitting the stage forever, they set up their lares in the southland only to find themselves involved in an inherited blood feud with their next door neighbors. Meantime, of course, Eddie has already fallen in love with the grand-daughter of the enemy. Alberta Vaughn plays the heroine and Theodore Roberts, the sire of the other faction. Eddie contributes a clean-cut, amusing performance. The late Theodore Roberts is great, particularly in the spoken sequences. Miss Vaughn makes a charming appearance and the supporting cast are good troupers. Strange Cargo A somewhat de-luxe mystery murder talkie, staged on board a yacht. While action is sacrificed to the all-talking sequences you'll enjoy it because there are several good comedy situations and much excellent character acting. All the large cast gave capable performances but Otto Matiessen, as the mysterious yogi, stood out. The Spieler Sensational film! Revealing inside story of carnival racket' eers! Renee Adoree, owner, tries to run a carnival honestly. Unsuccessful until Alan Hale falls for her and goes straight. This excites murderous mob headed by Fred Kohler resulting in tremendous midway battle where Hale staves off sinister gang with tent stake. Admirable performances by Clyde Cook, Adoree, Hale and Kohler. Ask Dad A gem of a talkie that hits you between the eyes. Edward Everett Horton and his son, played by Winston Miller, are both in love with the former secretary, Ruth Renick. Miller is excellent. He portrays exactly a youngster overcome by calf love. Horton is splendid, of course, and Miss Renick a sympathetic heroine. As funny as they come! The Old Bam Don't miss this one! It's a grand, spooky, talking comedy. Johnny Burke, the hotel clerk; Daphne Pollard, general slavey; Andy Clyde, Thelma Hill, Vernon Dent and others, contrive to work out the funniest and eeriest situations you ever saw, in an old country barn behind the hotel where they're in search of an escaped madman. 76
