BY the Associated Press.
The National Congress of Parents
and Teachers is distributing PAM
phletS to 10000 local organizations in
its drive for movies supervised by
local Boards of Education.
The leaflets urge a new approach
to the motion picture situation" based
on these tenets:
Every child has the right to see
at public expense the best motion
pictures which society can afford.
IF the industry will not finance
the making of films for children, then
society must"
Edgar Dale of Ohio State University
faculty, author of one of the two
pamphlets sent out as guide books,
proposes:
Let every community establish
children'S theaters. Such theaters
should be under the control of the
Board of Education or city recrea-
tional departments.
OF the films to be shown in these
proposed community theaters, he said,
a few now produced each year would
be suitable, but the vast bulk of the
pictures would have to be made"
This should be done through Gov
ernment financing and might well be
part of our relief activities" he
argued.

PHILO NNCE
BACK At THE
METROPOLITAN
This Time He Has I'm
pOrtar,t Role in "The
Dragon Murder Case"

Some of the customary ingenuity
with which S. s. Van Dine fashions
tales of mysterious murder and its
skilfully contrived solution seems to
have fallen by the wayside when
THE Dragon Murder Case" now at
the Metropolitan, was put upon strips
of celluloid.
OF course, with the intelligent Van
Dine elements of a murder yarn in
its makeup, this of necessity, is at
least an average mystery photoplay,
and should entertain most Of the
mystery fans. But it fails to be much
better than average because 1t fails
to move with speed.
A fellow dives into swimming
pool and never comes up-thus the
tale commences. Shortly Philo Vance,
Sergt. Heath and District Attorney
Markham arrive on the scene and
discover a number of more or less
pertinent details, among them, the
fact that most of the guests at tlNI
house party where the supposed muir
der was done very cordially dislike
one another. The missing corpus
delecti lends some credibility to the
rumor the pool is haunted by q
dragon bent on destroying enemies
of the family. Mr.. Vance manages
to get some important clues. Finally
he is able to show how the poor chap
was done away with, but in the end
he leaves a few loose ends, which
might have been cleared up.
Warren William still is the smooth
est Of smooth gentlemen in 1.-THE
Dragon Murder Case" but beyond
gentility he attains little. His Philo
Vance, while polished and impoSingly
erudite, has little of vitality. Among
| the other principals the work of Mar
garet Lindsay, Lyle Talbot, Eugene
Palette and Robert McWade is most
deserving of praise. Miss Lindsay and
Talbot supply the romance. Palette
continues in the role he has had in
other Philo Vance pictures, that OF
Sergt. Heath. McWade is seen as
the district attorney. Helen Lowell,
George E. Stone and William David
son stand out among the supporting
| players.
Among the Metropolitan's short
subjects there is a hilarious offering
featuring those maniacal musicians
under the direction of Frank and Milt
Britton. Hits of Today" a vaude-
vile film with DR.. Rockwell and
others; a travelogue and the usual
news reels complete the bill. HIM.

It has gotten to the point now
where M-G-M should arrange for
fashion previews for clothes hounds,
previews where women can talk aloud
and get the length of Miss Craw-
ford's skirt and the size of her waist
band and the shape of her new head
dress over with. BY the time the
picture was through yesterday the
Palace was seething with what
Mamma z. and Sister D. were going
to do about Joan Crawford-and so
far as Chained" is concerned, we
doubt If they remembered anything
about it except that Gable was pretty
good in it.
Gable is good-and something of a
miracle has been done in the sudden
revelation of Miss Crawford's actual
mouth (smaller by half than the
camera has ever caught it before)
But we doubt If the film amounts to
much-in fact, save for John Mahin's
occasionally amusing dialogue, and
Gable having himself a time as a
caveman, there isn't anything to it
at all.
Miss Crawford wears clothes which
her feminine audience don't seem to
like (the matter of the skirt length
was the most trying of yesterdays
debates), and all she has to do in it
really is to fall in love with Gable on
her way to South America, and fall
out of love with Otto Kruger on her
way back. The conflict between these
three is not vital enough to give the
picture much backbone, and the

into "She Loves Me Not, /"
which was a merry piece of
l. drama. even when played
straight on the Broadway
stage, making the farce at the Earle
this week top horse in this seasons
race for light entertainment honors.
When Edward Hope, who used to be
a newspaper man, evolved the notion
of hiding in a Princeton dormitory a
certain night-club entertainer named
Curly Flagg, he started yarn which
as novel, play and film has frightened
up the year of the blizzard and the
drought, and probably will continue to
do so as long as the boys still own the
price of book, two on the aisle, or
chair in the air-cooled emporia.
Paul Lawton was shy, drab young
fellow. whose only vice was weakness
for writing and grooming ditties for
the Triangle shows at dear old Nassau,
until one evening Miss Curly Flagg
decided to call upon him in his rooms
Paul neither knew Curly nor wanted
to, but she was attempting to elude
the police rather than tell them all
she knew about a murder in a night
club where she was dancing. She ap-
pealed to him for refuge.
This, of course, touched the young
mans heart. He promised to hide
her around the college until he could
find job for her. His good friend,
Buzz Jones, was pulled into the
scheme, promptly dashed of to New
York to beg his father to give Curly
a job in that mogul'S film productions.
,Thereupon a press agent enters the
scene and the trouble begins. 1t
would be of little use to relate the
diverse and dizzy plot complications
of "She Loves Me Not" You may
be sure, however, that they are there
in vast numbers, each as funny and
exciting as the next, which is an
enthusiastic recommendation for all
Of them.
Bing Crosby seems less the crooner
and more of film actor in this
picture, playing the role of Paul
Lawton with periodic flashes of un-
derstanding. Miriam Hopkins, we
regret to report, does not make Curly
Flagg the girl she was expected to be,

characters are so flip and strained
in their humor that you don't much
care whether they live or not.
As in any Clarence Brown film
however, the story has been carefully
filmed and handsomely put together
and Miss Crawford is allowed to run
the gamut Of female wardrobe. But
what an ending! Something went
wrong somewhere. Either the censorS
came in and said that Mr.. Kruger
mustn't shoot himself, as the script
clearly indicated, or the players just
got tired and said one fine evening
that they wanted to go home. At any
rate, Miss Crawford becomes Mrs
Gable so suddenly and is yanked back
to South America in so short time
that you are left bewildered and be-
logged and strangely annoyed at not
being told little more when you
have been patient enough to weather
the proceedings up to that point.

Robert Montgomery is a fine gang

SO well selected that you almost forget
the plot has been used again and
again.
The farm family in Connecticut, at
whose home the youthful racketeer
lands when he takes a lam" from
the law in New York when things get
too hot, Is a JOY to behold. Mickey
Rooney the young son, almost makes
you cry in spite of the laughs when
he discovers the delicious meat they
are having for dinner in honor of the
city man" in their midst is his pet
rabbit. His mother elizabeth Patter-
SOM does ''motherly" job. Maureen
OSullivan was chosen for the role of
the daughter, and she furnishes the
love interest. She, of course, falls in
love with Montgomery when he comes
to their home, wounded by police
guns. Her father is the fourth mem
| Der Of the farm family. Whitford
Kane takes the part.
But the intimate details of life at
the farm are what make the picture
different from others built along the
same old plot. There's lots of refined
comedy, but the best comes when
Montgomery's two friends" finally
catch up with him and take him back
to town to serve time. G. T. K.
