Merry-go-Round

University: "One Night Of Love"--a delightful, melodious romance which is especially distinguished by the captivating presence of Miss Grace Moore of the Metropolitan Opera Company who has a beautiful voice and an extremely gracious person, in fact she is about the best thing that has happened to the screen in many a month. "British Agent"--Leslie Howard and Kay Francis in the screen version of Bruce Lockhart's exciting story of diplomatic struggles and intrigue in revolutionary Russia. The film, unfortunately has been moviefied and is not as thrilling as the book.

Metropolitan: "Judge Priest"--Will Rogers, who is rapidly becoming our favorite screen philosopher and pater familias, in a very pleasing story of life in a quiet little Kentucky hamlet where the chief topic of conversation is still the Civil War and those "damned Yankees." Anita Louise will make you wish that Hollywood were a bit more accessible.

Fine Arts: "Adleu Les Beaux Jours"--a French travelogue romance which is not too good but it has its moments of beauty.

Loew's State: "What Every Woman Knows"--from J. M. Barrie's play. A human drama executed in the best artistic skill by Brian Aherne and the excellent Helen Hayes. Fine serous human drama and a noble work of the cluematic art.

Kelth's Memorial: "Gay Divorces"--Fred Astairo dancing and singing with the very attractive Ginger Rogers in a diverting adaptation of last year's successful musicomedy. Music is good and the dancing excellent although a bit overdone. Fred Astaire's gracefully rhythmic tripping will dolight you if you like the modern way of doing things terpsichorean.

Loew's Orpheum: "Outeast Lady"--Constance Bennett is getting a bit tire-some as the good bad lady who plays with fire until her pretty little fingers get burned. This latest film is not any different from other Bennett attempts and it falls somewhat flat.

Paramount and Fenway: "Our Dally Bread"--King Vidor's hold interpretation of the current of things social and economic. Reviewed in this issue.

Uptown: "The Count of Monte Cristo"--excellent adaptation of Dumas' thrilling story of adventure, love, and revenge a la mode under the last of France's Bourbon monarchs. Robert Donat, who was last seen in "Henry the Eighth" does yeoman work in the leading role and is capably supported by Elissa Landi and Louis Alberni who is at his explosive best. Also, "La Cucaracha"--colorful short based upon the song of Villa's men--captivatingly sung and danced.

Shubert: "Say When"--new comedy featuring Harry Richman and a chorus of "Statuesque Beauties." Opening tonight. To be reviewed very shortly.

Colonial: "The Farmer Takes a Wife"--Max Gordon of the New York Gordons is stopping in Boston with his new comedy which he plans to open in Gotham with the greatest possible speed. Opened last night and will be reviewed soon.
