Merry-go-Round

Films

R. K. O. Keith's--"David Harum". Will Rogers is perfectly cast in a picture that often verges on the saccharine but never quite reaches that stage. Not remarkable, but decidedly above the ordinary.

Loew's State--"Queen Christina". Greta Garbo shows herself still capable of giving a sensitive interpretation of a difficult part with the aid of Mamoulian. Well worth seeing.

Kelth Boston--"Madame Spy". If you like original stories about ddvely female spys on the Eastern front who are torn between love and patriotism. The film is graced by Fay Wray, disgraced by Nils Asther.

University--"Eskimo". A picture that, oddly enough, is as good as the advance press ballyhoo would have one believe. "Let's Fall in Love". An inconsequential piece.

Metropolitan--"Jimmy. The Gent". James Cagney continues to get away with a smart guy role in a fast picture.

Paramount and Fenway--"Beside". Warren William as a racketeering doctor gives a good performance until the drippy ending makes him descend to banal sentimentality.

Loew's Orpheum --"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.

Fine Arts--"The Mad Age". Reviewed in this issue.
