Heart of Paris (Tri-National). Ingenious French comedy which, starting where so many screen plays end, with a courtroom scene, shows what happens to a beautiful girl after she has been acquitted of murder.
Son of Frankenstein (Universal). Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill and Basil Rathbone bellowing, snarling, frowning and sneering in what is apparently Frankenstein’s monster’s last appearance on the screen (he ends up in a puddle of boiling sulfur).
