FIGHTING A mild carbon copy of "The Covered
CARAVANS Wagon," with dialogue and sound
Rating: GOOD added, but with the novelty and the Paramount thrills missing. It's a big production,
beautifully photographed and well enough acted, but since the action is kept around the two old scouts, Ernest Torrence and TuUy Marshall, rather than around Gary Cooper and Lily Damita, the love interest, it's good only for an evening's entertainment, and not great.
FINN AND Two little kids, Mitzi Green and Jackie
HATTIE Searl, steal this swell comedy. It's the
Rating: GOOD story of Mr. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad
Paramount which Donald Ogden Stewart authored
with many wise-cracks. Finn (that's the old man) has made a lot of money and thinks it would be a grand idea to take his family on a trip — he does, and how! Leon Errol and ZaSu Pitts are mama and papa and it's all great for the children.

Rating: GOOD surprises you. For our Mary returns to United Artists her first acting love and is grand as a
slapstick comedienne. As Kiki, Mary gets kicked out of a show for wrecking it and then tries to vamp the producer away from his ex-wife. The way Mary does it is no less than a riot. Reginald Denny's good as the producer, and Phil Te.id is clever.

Rating: GOOD bet with a well known hot-shot with Fox the ladies that the latter can't kiss his
wife within forty-eight hours. Things get pretty warm for the hubby and all concerned. Clever acting and direction make this highly amusing and sophisticated entertainment. Edmund Lowe, Jeanette MacDonald and Roland Young all do splendid I v.
LONELY WIVES Rating: GOOD
Pathe
This is naughty, but censor-proof entertainment, a fast and furious farce — with double meanings and everything else.
Edward Everett Horton plays a hubby with a wild streak, who hires a near likeness to double for him to fool his mother-in-law, so he can go playing. Everything is swell until the wife comes home unexpectedly and likes his double. Laura La Plante, Esther Ralston and Patsy Ruth Miller are the lovely ladies.

PARLOR, MHO We've been waiting .i lont; ume lor jusc ROOM AND BATH such a comedy from that frozen-faced Rating: GOOD comic, Buster Keaton. Imagine Buster M-G-M with a false reputation as a great lover —
and what would happen if several passionate ladies went after him. That's what happens to Bashful Buster. Pretty girls get into their undies and then the husband of one walks in on Buster. It's all fast and furious and an outstanding fun film you shouldn't miss.
