Kinema Guide January 12th to 18th. SWING HIGH HEEE is an ideal film for those who like a circus setting with plenty of thrills and a love interest without a very original plot. Obviously a great deal of money has been spent on this production and no fewer than sixteen stars appear, including Helen Twelvetrees, Fred Scott, Dorothy Burgess, Daphne Pollard, George Eawcett and Stephin Fetchit. Several song hits are included in the show and humour is provided by Stephin Fetchit with his dancing camel. The general appeal of the film, however, is romantic. It has a very dramatic climax in the circus itself. This film is certainlv good entertainment. Outside the Caravan in "Swing High." STRICTLY UNCONVENTIONAL IT is a joy to see and hear this picture. Somerset Maughan wrote "The Circle," from which it was taken, and Maughan has not been spoiled in the adaptation. It is the satirist Maughan that is put upon the screen and a satirical comedy that is played for us by Catherine Dale Owen, Paul Cavanagh, Lewis Stone and Ernest Torrence. The dialogue and characterisations are exceptionally well done and there is plenty of real humour. 18
