ADoLPHE MENJoU

ADOI,PHE MENJOU MOROCCO Is
not a heavyweight screen story
no it must be a Dietrich. In fact
f. Is a rather conventional movie
tale of an amorous French legion
naire pursued by the attractive
cabaret singer (Marlene DleI,
ricl1). Whether to throw hersen
at the indifferent soldier (Gary
Cooper) or accept the honorable
attentions of a rich artstocraC
(Adolphe MenjoW was Marlene S
problem. She solved it IN tne
final reel by tossing off her shoes
and marching into hot sands OF
the desert after her military man.
The crowds seem to want 1t that
way for they gave her a cheer.
Carefully Directed
Director Joseph Won Sternberg
has given this fiction, meager IN
exciting incident, a deliberately
paced and careful megaphoning.
His German screen discovery
looks like Greta GaTbo and fol-
lows her style of acting so closely
It Is a fair assumption the IN
evitable comparison is invited.
1 should, like to see her in a
better story than Morocco" be
fore marking the final ballot.
Looks she has aplenty. Sex allure
IN generous quantity and every
effort is made to impress it. 1p-
deed in physical attractions the
score is in Dietrich's favor. She
smiles more than Carlo, who IS
notably stingy with pleased ex-
preston, sings a little, has less OF
an accent.
GarbO Preferred
AS an actress give me Carlo
any time. There is warmth and
fervor in whatever the M-G-M
star undertakes and fine intel
ligence creeps into all OF her
characterizations. With all CT
the Sternberg studied attempt TO
create a carbon copy the achieve
ment is less than a triumph.
Garbo is still Carlo. She has a
definite personality and subtle
spiritual quality which defeats
this first serious challenge.
Adolphe Menjou plays an I'M
portant second fiddle in mo
rocco with his usual graceful
finish. Gary Cooper, it seemed
to me, was far from dis
tinguished. Still it was a Here
I Am, Love Me" part. Hard for
any actor.
Good Stage Show
On the stage is a Loew revue
headed by Jules Bledsoe which
maintains a high standard of en-
tertainment. With the Toreador
song and "Ol' Man River" Bled-
soc registered solid hit. Warm
audience appreciation was shown
for Trumpeter Rupprecht's hot
solo and Allan Rogers warbling
Of "Body and Soul" Jimmy
Ray, Ivan Trtesault and Walter
Wahl we're other entertainers
whose efforts pleased.
The Hearst Metrotone is fea-
tured by vigorous remarks from
senator Norris and short features
round out a program that assays
high for merit.

SECRETS
REVEALED In
THIS FILM

Very few people realize with
what rapidity and accuracy the
prisoners in all State peniten-
tiaries flash important news to
their fellow convicts. They have
a method which enables them i'm
mediately to communicate infor-
nation over the entire prison.
This system consists of tap
ping" with a m e allie object
against the wall of the cell or the
framework of cots. Practical en-
ployment Of the method is seen
to particular advantage in Colum-
bia Pictures epic of prison life,
THE Criminal Code" now show
ing at the R-K-O Keith's Theater.
In this picture a new and de-
spiSed warden comes into power.
Everyone in the prison knows Of
his presence within Is minutes of
his arrival, even those in the en-
closed basement dungeons.
"The Criminal Code" is replete
with romance and thrills. It Is
a poignant love story-the seem
ing hopeless love of a youthful
convict for the warden's daughter.
Two riots, Jail break, and many
other startling scenes are fea-
tured. Walter Huston is starred.
He is supported by brilliant cast
which includes Phillips Holmes,
Constance Cummings, Boris Kar-
loft, Arthur Hoyt, Mary Doran
and others.
Howard Hawks has done a not
able job with the direction of
"The Criminal Code" His is one
of the great directorial triumphs
Of the year-the picture is a great
romance, appealing and eminently
worthwhile.
