Motion picture review of Lady Be Careful, a Paramount picture, at the Earle Theater. This review is most interesting for the surrounding articles. Instead of a page primarily dedicated to film news, this review has “Be Beautiful”, a woman’s interest column, and “Points for Parents”, a cartoon for parents, surrounding it. Film is no longer receiving the same amount of attention it was earlier in the year. By Alexis Tryon

Motion Picture Review of Star for a Night, opened at the Earle Theater. The new headings of film reviews “Camera Angles on Film Folk” takes a approach much more akin to summarizing than reviewing new films, commenting on the plot and stars personal lives. These types of articles have replaced earlier critical reviews. By Alexis Tryon
