Six Best Pictures of the Month: REBOUND AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY
SON OF INDIA THE COMMON LAW
THE MAN IN POSSESSION NEWLY RICH
Turn to page 96 for casts of current films
You must see "Newly Rich," which was directed by the man who made "Skippy" — and it's almost as good. It has a great cast.
Ramon Novarro and Madge Evans in "Son of India," Novarro's most romantic success in years.
Newly Rich
Paramoutit
IN your town this picture may be billed as "Forbidden Adventure." See it anyway! It's too good to miss no matter what they call it. Directed by Taurog of "Skippy," it's great family entertainment. Concerns two kid screen stars whose Hollywood mamas yank them off to Europe, where they meet a boy king who, like them, is fed up with his job — and the three run away together. Their adventures are just as much fun for you. The acting of the three youngsters is irresistible. You may have been feeling that you had been seeing just a teeny, weeny bit too much of Mitzi Green. Well, she wins you again here. Jackie Searl is obnoxious and appealing at one and the same time. Bruce Line, new, is an endearing lad. Edna Mae Oliver and Louise Fazenda are the mamas. Don't skip it.
Son of India

Joel McCrea is Constance Bennett's leading man again in "The Common Law," by Robert W. Chambers. Connie scores again.
THE screen, which was getting so swanky and sophisticated there for a while, is now allowing a little sentiment to creep in. I am in favor of it. Pictures like "Son of India" bring back some of that dear dead hokum and tinsel and glamor that used to thrill us when we first went to theatres. Novarro's new one is frankly romantic but it is also mysteriously charming. Ramon was never so grand, girls, as in this part of a gallant son of the east who falls in love with nice li'l American gel. Moon-drenched nights and marble halls and diamond vaults and jungle thrills and renunciation — all that business; but Ramon, and the exquisite Madge Evans, his new leading lady, have you going for it in a big, big way. See our Honor Page for further details about these new screen lovers.
The Common Law
RKO-Pathe
THE latest chapter in the screen serial, "The Confessions of Connie Bennett." Miss Bennett's film love life becomes more and more hectic. The lovely, romantic Constance is seen this time as the long-suffering and sinning heroine of Robert W. Chambers' good old reliable sex drama, and if you find it listed as one of our Six Best — and you will, I just put it there — blame Miss Bennett. This girl has so much charm that it's almost impossible to shove any picture of hers into second rating. Here she appears, always alluringly, as the girl friend of — first, the bibulous Lew Cody; second, the handsome Joel McCrea — Joel in the role of an artist. Eventually the plot makes Connie an honest woman. If you like Bennett as we like Bennett, you'll like this. Robert Williams is swell.
