University: "She Loves Me Not"--Princeton supplies nearly as excellent entertainment on the screen as it did on the stage, and in addition, there is Bing Crosby. "The Human Side" limps along.
Metropolitan: "Cleopatra"--DeMille's super spectacle with Claudette Colbert, Warren Williams, Henry Wilcoxon, thousands of bouncing Hollywood beauties and sundry lavish effects, Egyptian and otherwise. Very enjoyable as a pageant albeit somewhat noisy and long.
Loew's State: "The Barretts of Wimpole Street"--just about the best effort of the year and one which definitely should be seen. Charles Laughton, Norma Shearer and Frederic March all excellent, especially Laughton.
Loews' Orpheum: "One Night of Love"--rendered truly delightful by the captivating person of Grace Moore who is very attractive and sings so very beautifully.
R. K. O. Keith's: "The Count of the Monte Cristo"--a fine adaptation of Dumas story. Robert Donat is excellent as Edmund Dantes. The scenes in and about the Chateau D'If will not slip quickly from the mind.
R. K. O. Boston: "Charlie Chan In London"--not the best of this series of mystery films based upon Earl Derr Bigger's stories about the philosophic detective Chan. This theatre has the added disadvantage of a long and typically dull vaudeville bill.
Paramount, and Fenway: "Now and Forever"--Shirley Temple in a fairly entertaining story which attempts to prove that nothing is better able than a child to cement the bonds of true live. "The Case of the Howling Dog"--a very complicated mystery which is about mediocre.
Fine Arts: "Les Trols Mousquetaires"--a good version of Dumas' perpetual story of chivalry and adventure at the court of Louis XIII. A bit too long and somewhat confusing since all the characters look amazingly alike.
Plymouth: "Ah Wilderness"--starting tonight. Eugene O'Neill in a mild and mellow mood proving that all is not inversion in America. Very worth while.
Hollis St. Theatre: "Big Hearted Herbert"--an amusing comedy with lots of fireworks.
