or a dirty hour or more of un- restrained mirth I can recom- mend “We're in the N. Now,” with Wallace Beery and Ray mond Hatton. Thanks to its com- plete of creative character de- lineation it rests on a much lower rung of the slapstick ladder than “The Better “Ole.” But it is pain- fully funny—funnier, according to official announcement than ‘Behind the Front,” its sister farce, though as to that I can’t testif; Any military with its i line and constant danger, rich field for the clown, but the Navy has the added advantage of plenty of water. A ducking is often injurious and sometimes fatal, but it is always funny, whether the victim is a French admiral whose mouth is pursed in a_ perpetual pucker, or merely a fool gob innocent of the ways of the sea. Beery and Hatton impersonate two of the most hopeless landlubbers ever shanghaied aboard a_ vessel, Beery with a fatuous smile of greasy good nature and Hatton smileless and worried but equally dumb. Their duckings come early in the service, SEER JUDGE ESL “The Big Parade”—Worth seeing twice. “Ben Hur"—Worth seeing once. “Moana of the South Seas"”—Flaherty’s fa- mous picture, “The Black Pirate”—Douglas F: “For Hearen’s Sake"”—Harold Loy “Aloma of the South Seas"—Gilla Gray. “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp” “Ella Cinders"—Colleen Cinderella Moore. “The Volga Boatman” —Russia a la De Mille, “The Palm Beach Girl" —Bebe Daniels. “The Road to Mandalay"—Lon Chaney plus, “Variety"—100 per cent “Mantrap"—North Woods stuff. “Nell Gueyn—Historical British film. “Battling Butler"—Good Buste Desert melodr: “So This Is Paris” —Naughty “The Scarlet Letter”—Lillian € “The Strong Man" —Harry Lan Mary Pickford. “One Minute to Play”—Red Grange. “The Campus Flirt” —Bebe, “Tin Gods”. “The Treasure”—Well made in Germany. “Beau Geste” nid neat. hat her best. lon ditto. “Sparrows” he athlete, clodramatic tragedy. “You'd Be Surprised”—Raymond Griffith. “The Temptress” —Greta Garbo is good. “Kid Boots"—Eddie Cantor. “The Ace of Cads"—The suave Menjou. “The Better ‘Ole”—OMd Bill himself. “The Magician”—Childish. “London” —Es Nell Gwyn.” The Sorrows of Satan"—Sins of the flesh illustrated.

But the high point of their performance occurs when they discover a shipload of dynamite marked “brandied peach- es” and start prying open one of the boxes with the idea of having a party. The tension at this point is such that a little boy directly in front of me stood up and turned away with his hands pressed tightly over his ears, albeit his eyes were bright with laughter. Chester Conklin has a part in the picture, but of such a minor nature that it isn’t worth mentioning. This is the only disappointment.
