Hollywood is moving toward an increasing higher level of mentality and taste in its productions. "Private Jones" at the New Roxy theater is one of the most effective anti-war pictures that have yet been offered--although it does fall to pieces structurally somewhere toward the middle. The version of Lester Cohen's novel "Sweepings" at the Radio City Music Hall is impressive in theme and subject matter, even though the excessive histrionics of Lionel Barrymore throughout cancel some of its best effects. And "A Lady's Profession" at the Rialto theater is acted with such suavity and directed with such inspiration that we forget that it is, after all, nothing more than a pretty trivial sort of farce.
