THE MOVIEGOER

If "The Art of Love" represents the average Frenchman's knowledge of that all important prerequisite to life, Paris has been greatly over-rated. Seductive as Danielle Darrieux may have been in her past appearances on the American screen, she displays nothing in this performance that cannot be found on any page of the Sears, Rocbuck catalogue, while that famous rake, Albert Prejcan, teaches her nothing which the Rover Boys did not known in their infancy. Featuring a distinctly amateur grade of photography and a plot which could not have passed the most leuient English A instructor, this film is definitely to be avoided. If you're a good linguist and have the sort of imagination which reads vicious innuendo into the simplest "bon jour" or "mauvais unit," you may get a kick out of this picture; otherwise you might just as well try Harper's for light reading. By far the most interesting feature of the program is the short, "The Birth of Life." This title's a take, too. "The Birth" is an educational release by the New York Museum of Natural History.
