THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Being a Brief and Moderately Careful Discussion of Local Affairs On the Cinema Front

By S. M. B.

New York again. Victor is leaning over the rail looking for mother. Harry's there. So is most of "Viccie's" family, but dear mother is ill. Helen meets the in-laws and suggests she and Victor buy some flowers for the dear thing. "Mom" is not unlike the mother in "The Silver Cord." She faints conveniently, dislikes her son's wife and is a repulsive prig. Not having seen the play, I cannot compare; that is fortunate, for one frequently finds fault with movies because they are not faithful reproductions. Much of the picture is painfully realistic: in places it seems to lack a swiftness of touch usually attained on the stage, and the debonair Montgomery is a bit out of his element as a heavy. However, I can recommend "Another Language" without reservations. Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery perform ably and are assisted by an excellent group of actors in minor roles.

"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, big bad wolf?" If you have seen "Three Little Pigs," you will roar or conceal your laughter when you hear these words. If you have not seen this Silly Symphony and hate all movies and the world, go to the University exactly at 2. or 5 or 8 p. m., and you should be amused for fifteen minutes.
