THE LOBBY LOAFER -CHRONICLING WHAT’S HERE AND WHAT’S COMING Silvisi Sidney and Gene Raymond ns they appear in “Ladies of tin* Big House,” Sunday at the Colonial. WHAT AND WHERE McDonald — - “The Amateur Daddy,” Warner Baxter and Marion Nixon. Today only. “Miracle Man” coming Sun day. Colonial-“Ben Hur,” Ramon Novarro, Francis X. Bush man, May McAvoy. Rex “Riders of the North,” Bob Custer. Sunday, “Deli cious,” Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. State—"Police Court” and Vaudeville. Heilig—“Monkey Business.” New Policy Hereafter, as suggested by a friend, shows seen by this reviewer will be classified as POOR, GOOD, or EXCELLENT, judging them by their entertainment value as well as their artistic quality. These grades are entirely from our own standpoint, and we don’t expect everybody to agree with us. The majority will be marked GOOD, an occasional one EXCELLENT, and a few, but very few, POOR. * * * A Night in Venice GOOD. “This Is the Night” shows the tendency to go back to the musi cal show. In spots it almost ap Scene from “The Miracle Man,’’ showing Sunday at the Mac. proaches being a musical comedy. There is a theme song, of course, of the same name as the show. But thank goodness the actors and actresses don't try to sing when they can’t. They get a real singer; none other than Donald Novis of the Cocoanut Grove in L. A. He is incidental, however, appearing as an oarsman on a gondola. A bachelor, Roland Young, is carrying on an affair with a mar ried woman (Thelma Todd). The husband (Cary Grant) appears. So the bachelor has to produce a wife. He hires a French extra actress to play the part, and it’s Lily Damita, of all things! Charles I Ruggles runs in and out and has his usual “drunk” scene. Charles Ruggles, incidently, is a teetotaler and a genuine one in real life. His exceedingly mobile face and Roland Young’s exceed j ingly long and straight face are j perfect foils for one another. Thelma Todd is still our idea of one of the most beautiful actresses on the screen. Good entertain ment. * *. # “The Amateur Daddy,” tomor row at the Mac, shows Warner Baxter as a man attracted by a girl of no education (Marion Nixon); and we ask “Do men pre fer charm to intellect?” Horse whipping, et al. * * * Revival Popular EXCELLENT. “Ben Hur” proved so popular to collegiate audiences that the man agement of the Colonial theater were considering holding it over Sunday and Monday, but the final decision is that it will close to night. Don’t miss it. We recommend it absolutely, and without any fear of being contradicted. The chariot race is a real thriller, and the Roman circus is a wonder of motion picture setting,_ even if it was faked. GOOD PLUS. "Ladies of the Big House,” with Silvia Sidney and Gene Raymond, will be showing Sunday. This could easily have been a tragedy had it been cut off about five min utes before the end, and the con trasting pleasure which the fan experiences against the impending tragedy makes this picture partic ularly delightful. * * * The Rex has “Riders of the North” with a gentleman named Eob Custer. Can’t find a thing on it anywhere, but trust it’s a western with hot lead and all the fixin’s. Sunday the Rex will have that ever popular team of Janet Gay nor and Charles Farrell in "Deli cious.” “Eugene’s Own Store” McMorran & Washburne -Phone 2700^ FOR CAMPUS WEAR!
