Judging The Movies by Carroll Carroll Proud Heart — Rudolph Schild- kraut distinguishes himself in his first screen réle. An “‘Abie’s Irish Rose” colored gob of weltschmerz done well enough to make it appeal- ing to Klansmen and amusing to Jews or vice versa. Bobbed Hair—The screen version of the hybrid novel-anthology of the same name, by twenty famous authors, However, not much worse than if only one had written it. Some say it’s satire. Aren’t they all? Classified—Love among the want ads. Corinne Griffith triumphs over avarice, virtue preferred declares a dividend, and good old coincidence scores a knockout, in what looks like a framed bout. Lights of Old Broadway—Electric and otherwise. The usual twin sister yarn turned back a few decades with Marion Davies doubling up on her stuff ina dual réle. The boy, Roose- velt; the lad, Edison; the youths, Weber and Fields, and Tony Pastor, daddy of vaudeville, are in the sup- porting cast. The Seven Keys to Baldpate— Cohan’s burlesque mystery with Douglas MacLean quite amusing as the harassed author. I am asked not todivulge the conclusion. If you don't already know it, or can’t guess it after ten minutes of the picture, my sincerest sympathy. New Brooms—Another blow to the young idea. Beware of hyphenated appositives. This is called a roman- tic comedy, Well, it may be roman- tic, just a wee bit. The Vanishing American—A thor- oughly fine picture showing what Indian givers we were when we gave things to the Indians. The Dark Angel—Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman in one of the few worthy war pictures. Little Annie Rooney—Mary Pick- ford in an “Our Gang” comedy to which she brings nothing but her overwhelming popularity. The King on Main Street—A pleasant comedy by the grace of Menjou. ABSENT-MINDED Proresson—Dear me, dear me. I can’t remember whether I was going out or coming in! “Doesn't your wife make that delicious mince pie any more, Gan- grene?” “No, Graphic, she uses the odds and ends around the house for trim- ming her hats.” comicbooks.com
