OUR GUIDE
TO THE CINEMAS
"Slave Ship"
(Queen's Theatre And Alhambra Theatre, to-day),— Here is a picture which has all the qualities of greatness. Its magni- ficent sweep and delicate shading is brought about by the studious work of the actors, leading anong whom Beery, are Warner Baxter, Wallace Elizabeth Allen and Mickey Rooney, and some inely imaginative direct- ing. It is an emotional picture, yet retains a lively sense of proportion. Certainly an important contribution to the screen's best entertainments of the year.
"They Gave Him A Gun" (King's Theatre, to-day).This is purely on attempt to put anti-war propaganda into a film. It only half succeeds, but this does not rob the picture of Its entertainment value. The mural, however, that after giving a mutt medals for shooting down soldiers during the war, they hunted him for shouting men in peace time, is made somewhat labouredly and without is Tracey conviction. Spencer magnificent, Franchot Tone a trifle uncertain of himself and Gladys George offers a brilliant understate- ment.
"The Devil Doll" (Oriental Theatre. to-day),First-rate meller-drama of the sort which makes you want to shiver, laugh and cheer, all at the same time. Neat studies by Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sullivan and Frank Lawton.
"More Than A Becretary" (Majes- tle Theatre, to-day),-Wholly delight- ful picture. Light, fanciful, fascina- ting. A part which eminently suits Jean Arthur, gives scope to George Brent and helps to place Lionel Stan- der among the screens funniest funny
men.
"Mind Your Own Business" (Star Theatre, to-day),-larious offering by that smart couple, Charles Ruggles and Alice. Brady. Domestic comedy raised to the nth degree of skill and eficiency. Lyle Talbot and Benny Baker help things along with studied contributions.
