University--"Flying Down to Rie." Some fine tunes, excellent sets, and the dancing of Mr. Astaire raise this picture above the level of the usual singing and dancing film extravaganzas. "Easy to Love" Miss Tobin is very good in an amusing comedy.

Metropolitan--"Death Takes A Holiday." The movies still have considerable difficulty with fantasy and mysticism: but it is managed better here than usual. Frederick March does well enough.

Fine Arts--"The Passion of Joan of Arc"; "Die Privatsekretaerin". Reviewed in this issue.

Loew's Orpheum--"Nana." The much publicized Anna Sten makes her debut via Zola: she has a certain peasant-like charm but seems miseast. Recommended to the Dietrich clan.

Loew's State--"Looking For Trouble." Telephone linesmen get some of the exploitation formerly reserved for buses, airlines and the show business. Chiefly notable for the graceful presence of Constance Cummings.

R. K. O. Keith's--"It Happened One Night." Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable romp about on a night bus until ... the inevitable. Nevertheless recommended for colorless, but pleasant acting by Miss Colbert, and for the amusing dialogue.

Keith Boston--"Coming Out Party." Hollywood's idea of debutants should thrill the proletariat and amuse the initiated. Dunster House, Beacon Street, and Chelsea will like it for strangely differing reasons.

Paramount and Fenway--"Dark Haxard." Edward G. Robinson and Genevieve Tobin are together again in a gambling story: capable acting by both. "She Made Her Bed." All that the title indicates.
