Metropolitan: The latest DeMille collossus, remarkably well cast, complete with 500--count 'om 500--beautiful ladies, and all the gorgeous panorama of Roman and Egyptian life portrayed with the usual DeMille facility, makes this picture well worth a trip into Boston, even if the novel vaudeville and well-chosen shorts at the Met were omitted, which they are not.

Loew's State: "Barrets of Wimpole Street"--Norma Shearer, Charles Laughton, and Frederic March make this one of the best bets of the week. A faithful adaptation of the successful Broadway show.

Loew's Orpheum: "Chained"--with John Crawford. Reviewed in this issue.

R. K. O. Boston: "The Scarlet Letter"--Colleen Moore in an adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic.

Fine Arts: French version of the "Three Musketeers". Very colorful and capably performed. Really worthwhile.

Colonist "Roberts"--Fresh from a successful run on Broadway this is acclaimed as one of the better costume musicals. Unless you simply can't stand hearing any more about smoke getting in your eyes don't miss this.

Shubert: The universally acclaimed musical of musicals, "As Thousands Cheer". You have heard all about this one and probably will not miss it this time unless you fail to get your seats in advance.

Old Howard: The old faithful Ann Gorio is back and, supported by the usual items, provides Boston's little contribution to culture.

Hollis: "Big Hearted Herbert"--A typical force of almost slapstick comedy. One is assured of a good two-and-a-half hours of almost continuous laughs.
