"What Picture Shall We See Tonight?" Let tion and Guide You to the WorthWhile
Man and the Moment
There's more fun in following the conventions than in defying them, might be the moral, if any, drawn from the new Billie Dove-Rod La Rocque opus, written by Madame Glyn. Billie — just a nice girl from a small Iowa town — gets mixed up with a jazzy, ginny, yachting crowd. Climax comes when Billie's clothes are tound in La Rocque's bed room the morning after a wild party (shame on you, Billie) by a night club blonde out to ruin Billie's rep. Later, in the battle heat La Rocque breaks through a glass swimming pool revue to rescue his wife — you knew it all the time — from another man's arms. Fitzmauriee takes this impossible peach parfait of a tale and whips it into a mildly amusing comedy, saved by Billie's beauty and charm.
The Gamblers
H. B. Warner and Lois Wilson are the featured talkers here. In this supposed behind-the-scenes story of stock market manipulations we find George Fawcett and Jason Robards mixed up in crooked deals, with Warner, the bank examiner, married to Lois, who still loves Robards. Not a cough of truth in this carload of film.
Madonna of Avenue "A" The beauty of Dolores Costello and the talent of Louise Dresser can't save this melodrama. Dolores is in a private school, and mama, Louise, is doing business in a low Manhattan dive to pay the bills. Grant Withers, a bootlegging Lothario, falls for Dolores but mama has him framed and jailed away. A happy ending for daughter, an unhappy ending for mama.
The C onstabule
A baby comedy feature with Andy Clyde. Harry Gribbon and Thelma Hill pulling funny surprises faster than you can laugh. Thelma's gone and got herself graduated from college. Pa wants her to marry the village constabule — but Thelma objects. A robbery and a race between a Ford and a hand car which bursts the last button off the vest.
Hungarian Rhapsody
Filled with beauty, young love and Magyar melodies. Lil Dagover, the luscious vamping wife of a general, flirts with Willy Fritsch, a Lieutenant, whom Dita Parlo, a country girl, loves. This triangular romance staged in rolling Hungarian wheat fields with picturesque peasants and harvest festivals as a background, is a film worth seeing.
