Modern Times (produced by
Charles Chaplin Film Corp, dis
tributcd by United Artists Com
cdy. (Outstanding.)

story by Charles Chaplin. Music
composed by Charles Chaplin.
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Paulette
Goddard, Henry Bergman, Chest
er Conklin, Stanley Sandford,
Hank Mann, Louis NatheuX, Allen
Garcia.
In his characteristic costume,
Charles Chaplin appears in this
film as a weak, bewildered. little
factory worker, drifting from job
to job, in and out of Jail, and al
ways, Unexpectedly overtaken by
absurd mishaps and comic TRACE
dies. The gags are novel and
screamingly funny The musical
accompaniment shows discriminate
ing selection and Paulette God
dard, as the homeless waif with
whom he combines his fortunes,
gives a delicately spirited inter-
probation. There is no actual dra-
matte plot. Underlying the hilar-
ious Glowing, however, there Is
biting satire on modern civillza-
ton which ignores individual value
and permits the mechanizatlon OF
human beings for the production
of useless wealth. Family.

Ursula PARROTS novel. "Say
Goodbye Again." has been given
a sincere and thoughtful screen
version. 1t is the ever interesting
humna story of the struggle be,
tween marriage and career, told
here of charming young act
ress and her husband, success
full foreign correspondent. They
are constantly driven apart by
their respective ambition and less
rarely reunited by their mutual
love. The production is a super

The Bohemian Girl (MGM
Dir: James Horne and Charles
Rogers. Cast: Laurel and Hardy,
Mae Busch, Antonio Moreno, JAG
queline Wells. -,
The original libretto of the
well known opretta has undergone
many changes for it's screen YER
sion and is evidently used merely
as a framework for the slapstlck
antics of Laurel and Hardy. The
resultant burlesque is however,
a highly amusing bit of enter
tainment in which the familiar,
lyrics of Balfe arc retained and
well sung. There are several cIev-
erly original comedy scenes IN
which Laurel and Hardy, aided
bv a capable cast, displays their
comedy gifts to full advantage.
The careful direction goes far to
make the production a completely
ENJOYABLE one. Family.
