All this was introduced with splen- did dignity by Al Mitchell, who watched over his flock with care, and in the offing could be seen Director General Harry Crull smiling with pride and the coaches, Helen Kear- ney and Margaret Culahan, racked with satisfaction. This was one of Three Yates Sisters, Romeo Guaraldi, Marguerite Licarione, Bobby Pond, Bernice Stevens (here’s a real whis. tler), Tony La Nasa, Mulroe and Sanger, Dorothy Reddish, Nathan Cohen, Mildred Cherot, Harlan Ran- dall—and the “line girls,” who threw thelr legs into space so glibly and got them back again just as glibly: Shirley Rose, Helen Beard, Betty Lou Perron, Janet Helbig, Rosellen Jarvis, Helene Permut, Lilllan Fay, | | i | { | | | | | at R-K-O Keith's, and the young members of that part of the cil enje tion as a fine example of the super- heroic in motion pictures. Mr. Dix maintains his reputation as a masterful person who stands in the pathway to block villainy wher- ever it may be found. the eludes all pursuers, and his ability to enter private homes on the mis- sion of punishing the wicked, while others are seeking his arrest because of somewhat lawless acts, stirs the imagination. While “The Public Defender” has one appeal to the youthful audience, its xvuhrlty with all ages is likely to demonstrated, for its general theme is the distress brought upon innocent persons by the looting of a financial institution. . The group of guilty persons has wrongly placed the blame upon the associate who has had no part in the looting, and Pike Winslow, through the ce of the daughter of the accused man, undertakes to straighten matters out. Warning should be given to thoughtless persons, however, that it is inadvisable to violate the law even in righting a wrong, and that, ex- cept on the screen, the acts here de- picted might have led to disaster for the heroic champion of right. Mr. Dix performs well and is sur- rounded by an excellent company. Shirley Grey, his leading woman, comparatively new in such roles, makes a good impression, though not deeply involved in the plot. Edmund Breese, Boris Karloff, Ruth Weston and numerous others familiar to movie patrons complete the list. In addition to the newsreel, John Hix's “Strange as It Seems” and a cartoon comedy, the week’s “Mickey McGuire” offering is one of the best of that juvenile series and so full of action that it is worthy of special attention.
