SS JUDGE T Was virtue with a vengeance this week. While in “Cradle Snatchers” you are almost led to believe that there has been seduction attempted, seduction done, it turns out that it was all done in good clean fun for the cause of monogamy. I thought the stage play was coarse and the movie adaptation sordid, humor- less, and cheap. While I am strongly in favor of more and broader vulgarity in the the there was nothing Rabe this film; rather it was done in the cheap, sneaking spirit of back- alley necking. The fat mammas around us wheezed themsely purple at the picture and you m: like it, but we sincerely hope not. may be foolish, but the idea of the three jaded middle-aged women attempting to win back their hus- bands by a not-so-pretended party with three college boys as it is worked out in the picture, is not funny or bold, but very tawdry and repulsive. sian in Dock Loarer -Hey! | @ Pare Loremt, | Common Stock '—Hooey and baseball “The Ds mi- Bride” —Parisian comedy . ng Clothes —Wet Langion love ft old Fr if you get the chance Carey at the Bat" —Wallace Beery makes base~ ball history. | “White Gold""—Realism partly: sacrifice appeal Children of Ditorce’—A suicide with the wrong moral “Knockout Reilly"—Prize-fight notables and #"—Good picture, smothered in sub- The King of Ringe” —Worth seeing.

Splendid The boat left an hour ago! G the MOVIES”: . \Gel Movie axiom (1): The quicker the acrobatic feat the more diffi- cult it must be. Virree is handled more prud- ishly and methodistically in “A Million Bid.” This is the staunch old plot of the mone who sells her dé contract to an oily Parisian mil- lionaire, the daughter becoming a Wife in Name Only. It is utterly impossible and incredibly slow and I advise you to take your home work when you go. In fact, I noticed a whole corps of gentle- looking old ladies in the audience and they seemed to be quite happy and contented. As the film be came more and more asinine my curiosity got the better of me and I finally went over and asked one lind-faced old soul why she was enjoying the picture. She looked up rather surprised and then I saw that she was examining a iad mother hter’s marriage you help me she asked “I know it, but my sailing on that boat is of such importance that I feel it my duty to make every pc ssible effort.” comicbooks.com
