'P/u>duct The scene from that delightful film, "The Mikado," in which Nanki-Poo (Kenny Baker) decides to marry YumYum (Jean Colin) . BOY SLAVES— Interesting. If you're out for sheer entertainment steer clear of this eloquent "problem" film which pictures for you the tragic fate that befalls some of America's wandering boys. In this instance big business men utilize their services, paying them in scrip only acceptable at their own company stores. (Anne Shirley, Alan Baxter.) BURN 'EM UP O'CONNOR— Interesting. Recommended to lovers of thrilling mystery stories. The background of this is auto-racing, and after three drivers are fatally injured in separate races it is time for some careful sleuthing to be done. (Dennis CVKeefe, Cecilia Parker, Charley Grapewin.) GIRL DOWNSTAIRS, THE— Amusing. The Cinderella theme is used to advantage once again in this gay and breezy yarn about a charming man about town who poses as a chauffeur in the home of the girl he loves, only to find himself doing a right-about-turn in favor of the scullery maid. (Franchot Tone. Rita Johnson, Franciska Gaal, Walter Connolly.) GRAND ILLUSION— Excellent. This French film is superb screen literature, telling in the simplest possible way the thoughts and emotional reactions of a group of French soldiers sent to a German prison camp during the World War. The English titles make it very understandable, and in the cast you will find that old silent film favorite, Eric von Stroheim. HEART OF PARIS— Excellent. An unusual theme is presented in a touchingly naive fashion in this French language film, in which a soft-hearted middle-class gentleman, after serving on the jury at a famous murder trial, takes the acquitted murderess, a friendless girl of 18, into his own home while keeping her identity a secret from his wife and son. (Michele Morgan-Riamu.) LONE WOLF SPY HUNT, THE— Fair. The Lone Wolf comes back very much subdued. In fact, he's on the side of law and order in this spy ring yarn, the action of which takes place in Washington. The insertion of screwball comedy Films To SeeOne For Every Mood. as an antidote for the highly dramatic incidents provides rather weak entertainment. (Warren William-Ida Lupino.) MR. MOTO'S LAST WARNING— Good. One of the better "Moto" mystery yarns, this boasts the inclusion of Ricardo Cortez, George Sanders and John Carradine in a cast headed, as usual, by the naive Peter Lorre. British politics are played here against a colorful Egyptian background, and the action is fast-paced and fairly plausible. (Virginia Field). MIKADO, THE— Excellent. No true lover of Gilbert & Sullivan's tuneful tales will want to miss this film version of their most delightful satire. Newcomers to the fold will find themselves going through a charming initiation. Done in* technicolor, with almost all (he principle roles culled straight from the famous D'Oyly Carte company, it is a treat to the eye and ear. However, the role of Nanki-Poo is played, and well, too, by our own Kenny Baker. MYSTERIOUS MISS X, THE— Good. A screwball "Whodonit" that will keep you amused throughout. Michael Whalen and Chick Chandler are a couple of down and out vaudevillians who get mistaken for a pair of Scotland Yard sleuths. To his own amazement Whalen solves the murder in question, with the hilarious assistance of Chick, Mabel Todd and Mary Hart. PRIDE OF THE NAVY— Good. This should be satisfactory film fare on a dual program. James Dunn is at his best as a wise-cracking ex-Annapolis speedboat demon whose services are commandeered by the navy once again when they start building a new torpedo boat. Written for comedy, this should supply a few spontaneous laughs. (Rochelle Hudson.) PROFESSOR MAMLOCK— Splendid. From Russia comes this vital, courageous and sincere film which dares to tell in dramatic, and almost heart-breaking fash S Silver Screen
