a pretty safe bet that it sent the pro-

Of the farmers in melange of bullets

ton of the life of San Francisco as
a boom town in the post-Civil War

dealing hard-playing citizens of the
Pacific metropolis before L. A). They
certainly wore beautiful costumes in

The story of which this handsome

him also turns out to be quite an
entertaining item in spite of over
length and long pauses in several
spots. 1t is at the Palace, in case
you are wondering when this report
would come to that important point.
In the process of restoring Mr..
Taylor to his old box-office prestige,
Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer also has proved
that 1t is possible to put a somewhat
fresh surface on that well-battered
story of the college hero. This feat
is accomplished by the pleasant trick
OF setting the tale against the ancient
and enticing English countryside and
starting the hero on his career in
the guise of super-heel. The tradi-
tons, the humor, the austerity and
the customs of Oxford are treated
IN a fashion that gives the film an
informative quality, feature strange
ly lacking in virtually every other
picture having to do with higher edu-
cation. Oxford as it should be in
view of its venerable place in the
educational world, is treated with a
nice dignity, another rare quality
when campuses go before the camera.
The new Robert Taylor, who is not
made up TO be boudoir boy, ap-
pears in "A Yank at Oxford" as
blg-headed American athlete who
regards stamina. muscles and brash-
ness as the very items with which to
awe the English. Even in his ar
rogance, however, he is a straight
forward sort of duck who falls easy
and ready prey to cultured, vengeful
cruelty of his fellow Oxonians. 1t
Is nice battle in the early part of
the picture in which his Drawn and
their subtle brains end up in ap-
proXlmately a tie. His first hour at
Oxford, climaXed by kicking a dean
IN the seat of the pants under the
impression the dean had something
to do with hazing him, looks as if it
would be his last. If it had been, of
course, there wouldn't have been any
picture, so don't worry too much
over the travail of the hero in that
part of the film. Even though it is
handled with reasonable suspense.

n ONOGRAM, which doesn't do
N much business on F. street
4 L because it doesn't have
enough names of F street
caliber on its pay roll, has peddled a
tin of celluloid to the Metropolitan
this week which offers ample enter
tainment for Jackie Cooper fans and
a creditable portion for those who can
take him or leave him. In other
words, Monogram does not have to be
ashamed of Boy of the Streets"
The picture, which provided a vehi-
Gle for a Jackie Cooper approaching
maturity-he's lis of the Dead
End pattern, but rather less raw and
less vital. 1t relates the story of a
young man reared amidst the squalor
of the tenement district, young girl
who grows up in the same environ
ment and an heiress who acquires pos
session of the building in which the
two live. 1t develops that the lady
is philanthropist and it is not long
before the girl is sent to an exclusive
private school and Mr.. Cooper is
placed On the road to becoming an
asset to society.
The groWn-up Jackie is a convinc-
ing performer. He is called upon to
fight for many minutes during the

mendable enthusiasm. He also is
called upon to sulk. and his acting
is up to par in that department.

full player cast opposite Mr.. Cooper.
Her singing voice is a recommended
ton. Otherwise, she offers little in
the way OF a positive registration.
Marjorie Main, who was the much
troubled mother in Dead End" is a
much-troubled mother of the same
sort here and is equally effective.
Kathleen Burke and Robert Emmett

undistinguished performances.

himself man of honor by taking
expulsion to save the honor of the
girls family and otherwise perform
in the best tradition of the noble, if
misunderstood. American.
One of the more amusing sequences
OF the film are those in which the
Yank cuts some terrible didoes in
Oxford traffic by riding a bicycle on
the right side against the local traffic,
which moves on the left. Another is
his first race on Oxford turf, not Gin
ders, in which he beats England's
best while running not merely fully
dressed, but with the added impost
OF cap and gown. Sure it's implau-
slble, but that is what makes it funny.
The track and crew garb which
Taylor wears during a considerable
footage of the film reveals him to be
furry sort of gent with muscles,
obvious chest expansion. and the pos
SCISSOR of pair of nicely bowed legs.
His running, if one may be permitted
a quibble, shows bad coaching in arm
action, and in the use of the palooka
technique of looking over his shoulder
to see where the others are.
HE film, as this report must indi-
cate thus far, is almost entirely
Mr.. Taylors. 1t is not without other
performers. however, some of whom
are important little cogs in the ma
chine for remaking Mr.. Taylor. WV

pretty, gives a patiently Hollywood
bound performance as college widow,

oW.' Maureen O'Sullivan. who is
growing steadily into the stature of
an actress, is the heart -throb of the
piece, and plausibly in something more
than her usual Irish-eyes- are smiling
fashion. Lionel Barrymore as the de-
mented Nebraska editor whose world
revolves around his sons athletic
proweSs, is playing one of his favorite
characters with obvious Zest. There
are some other good character parts
played by English actors whose names
wouldn't mean a thing even if we
could remember them.
From the standpoint of photography
and production, as in other respects,
"A Yank at Oxford" will please every
one. Especially M-G-M, when it
starts counting the money in terms
OF Taylor's improved standing.

 Local movie-goers who have been anxiously awaiting Mae Vests new est hit Every Days A Holiday" will now have the opportunity of seeing this gay, musical romance; as it begins a four day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater starting tomorrow.
 As a gag-tossing, heart-breaking New York belle of the nineties, Miss West has all the spite and deviltry of her original smash hit, "She Done Him Wrong" You'll laugh from the beginning to the end of the show Above all, don't miss it!
 In the story, which she wrote her self, Mae is the toast of the Bow cry whose shady business deals al- ways keep her only two or three steps ahead of the police. Through out the picture she is out of sym pathy with the law and its servants. As she expresses it to her boy friend, the captain of detectives, Edmund Lowe, You got me all wrong. may crack a law now and then but I never broke one"
 The captain looks at the brighter side of her character and keeps her free of crooked Police Inspector Lloyd Nolan, who wants to slap her into jail.

The headliner of this double bill is wells Fargo" with Joel McCrea, Frances Dee, and Bob Burns in the stellar roles accom- panied by Lloyd Nolan. Henry O'Neill and many other screen fav- oriteS.
 Miss Dee plays the part of the wife of Joel McCrea, a pioneer in the fight to open the trail between the old Country of California and the East, and Hall is cast as the partner of Lloyd Nolan, a pair of Western badmen and highway eX- perts who turn swindling bankers and bitter antagonists of McCrea and his wife.
 Bob Burns plays the part of philosophical frontier character who helps McCrea break the first trail from St. Louis to San Francisco in the early days of the Gold Rush. It's a new Burns-in "coonskin" hat and leathern jacket and, according to reports from Hollywood, a great CT Burns.
 The second hit is Might Club Scandal" a new thrill sensation, starring John Barrymore, Lynne Overman and LuiSe Campbell.
