“Bureau of Missing Persons”
“ Bureau of Missing Persons,” which comes to the Majestic shortly, introduces audiences to a branch of the New York police department known by that name. The film is built up from a series of separate episodes. One, for example, deals with a musical prodigy who tires of being a genius and runs away so that he can be like other small boys. Most of the incidents are comical, yet entirely credible, and the theme is treated good-humour-edly and without false sentiment. The part of the experienced head of the bureau is taken by Lewis Stone, while' Bette Davis heads a strong cast of supporting players.
