In “Hold Me Tight,” their latest Fox Production that opened at the Uptown Theatre yesterday, they add another notable one to their long: list. There are perhaps no other two players in films who so staunchly | personify the real charm of mod- ern youth. James Dunn is all young men and Sally Eilers is every young girl. Together they are ideal. In “Hold Me Tight,” they have the type of roles that first brought them into prominence in such films as “Bad Girl” and “‘Dance Team.” It is a story that concerns a search for happiness over almost insur- mountable barriers. These two young people win their fight, and victory is sweeter for all of the hardships of the struggle. They are both employed in a large department store, where they meet and fall in love. Sally is at- | tractive and Jimmy is ambitious. | There seems to be nothing stand- |ing in the way of complete suc- cess, But they reckon without the desires and ambitions of others. Let alone, they have a good chance {of achieving their personal aims, | but hampered by these others, the battle is a difficult one. With an unscrupulous store detective who is | attracted to Sally and is also in | & position to get Jimmy out of the way, the fight is made all the more | strenuous. The background of the film, so typical of New York in both mood and structure, is, just what this pair of young players needs. The department store with its teem- ing population is exactly suitable to their talents. The direction of Dav- id Butler has taken all of these details into account and brought them forth a® their best.

Charles Farrell and Many Stars in “Girl Without a Room™ at Coliseum Artists and models—Gay Paree— comedy— and tender romance. Such is Charles R. Rogers’ “Girl Without a Room,” which opens to- morrow at the Coliseum Theatre with Charles Farrell and Charlle Ruggles, Marguerite Churchill Gregory Ratoff, Walter Woolf and Grace Bradley. The picture is exceptionally clever and presents some old favorites in new characterizations and some new favorites in their screen de- buts. Charles Farrell becomes the com- edian at times and does exception- {ally well. Charlie Ruggles is just a bit more madeap than usual in a part that suits him perfectly. Marguerite Churchill, remember- ed as an ingenue, blossoms forth with a newly acquired sophistica- tion to enact the title role as an artists’ model. Grace Bradley playing the Rus- sian vamp has her first important screen role. She showed s0 much promise in a tiny sequence of “Too | Much Harmony” that she was “discovered.” She is a rare find. | ‘Walter Woolf, a recruit from the | Broadway musicals, makes his de- but in “Girl Without a Room” and should receive flocks of fan mail from the impressionable ladies. And | of course, Gregory Ratoff is funny. Director Ralph Murphy has kept Jack Lait’s story whirling along at a fast pace and the two songs “Rooftop Serenade” and “You Alone,” should be highly popular. The story is about Farrell who is a nut artist painting what he feels and not what he sees. He wins a contest with his painting | upside down—and from there you take off to high (or is it low) | comedy levels.
