LAWRENCE-~ Canadian Paeific Seaway to EUROPE res.’ Tabloid photographer committing suicide. when you get an eyeful of the alluring Miss Stark as a blue-eyed, fair-haired Norse gal. And if you don’t believe the folks who lived on those bleak shores were a hardy race, one glance at the cos- tume worn by Pauline will convince you. Yes, unquestionably you should see this picture. “Adoration” “ApoRATION” starts out to be a fine piece of work, with Billie Dove as the most beautiful Russian princess you ever saw, and Antonio Moreno as her prince who makes loves with intriguing restraint. There are brilliant court scenes; the Rus- sian nobility bedecked in all its finery, and everybody actually waltzing properly (except that Antonio holds the back of his partner’s hand instead of the palm, due, no doubt, to his early tango train- ing). Up to this point the picture is excel- lent entertainment, then it starts to slump worse than Canadian Marconi, and ends with two or three reels that are really boring. Here’s why: The prince and princess become cs- tranged. Fair enough. We all like to see lovers estranged. We suffer enjoyably when things happen to keep them apart, and look forward to the time when they will go into a clinch and forgive. But this anticipation becomes an anti-climax when lovers are kept estranged so long, and for such silly reasons that they appear to be acting like a couple of spoiled kids. This happens in “Adoration” and takes a lot of the ginger out of a potentially good movie. During the last few reels you feel like taking Mr. Moreno by the neck and saying, “Get the hell on back to that sweet girl and stop behaving like a jack- ass.” When a story begins to reach its logical conclusion the director should insist on reuniting the lovers. If this causes the pan to be shorter than regular feature length—tack on a Krazy Kat Comedy. SMOKING WRINKLES HERE’S a brand-new wrinkle for smokers. One that jiggles up the favorite smoke to a mellow perfec- tion you’d never expect. It’s a sim- ple wrinkle too — just the daily use of Squibb’s Dental Cream— once in the morning —once at night. Squibb’s pleasantly steals away any after-taste or stoginess. More than that, it leaves a whole legion of Milk of Magnesia particles that protect you at The Danger Line. These little mites fight long after use, too, to keep your smoke appe- tite bracy and fresh. Drop in any drug store and buy a tube of Squibb’s Dental Cream. You'll find it’s a mighty inex- pensive help to all-day smoking satisfaction. 40c a generous tube. Copyright 1929 by E.R. Squibb & Sons GUARD THE DANGER (Continued on next page) LINE comicbooks.com
