EXPOSED

"Reformatory." Jack Holt's lat- est picture, which is showing at the Majestic Theatre, is a gripping expose of life in a boys' "reform" school, fast-paced and filled with human Interest.

Holt is assistant warden åt a ̈ men's prison. When the youths at the reformatory rebel at the brutal mismanagement to which 'they are subjected, he is put in charge of them. Stern but humane. Holt Institutes sweeping reforms, and puts the boys on an

"honour system.” }

BLONDIE, FAMOUS COMIC STRIP CREATION, POPULAR ON SCREEN

"Blondie" made her movie debut in Hollywood. She captured the hearts of several thousand people at a local theatro, and on- deared herself to an international group of newspaper correspondents representing publications throughout the world.

As a result, "Blondie" will re- main in the movies for a long time, and Columbla Studios are already planning the second of the series 'based on Chic Young's popular comic strip feature.

The concensus of opinion can best be gleaned from this excerpt.
