Meanwhile, Betty's own romance has made rapid progress, and although like her parents, she and the young doctor have quarrelled, everjlhing ends hap
The story is simple, but because of its intensely human qualities, extremely powerful. It introduces humor without making it too obvious ; reveals pathos without begging for sympathy, and develops romance without making it seem unnatural.
In short, it is a delightful picture that will make its impression on the playgoer by gently reaching deep into his own experience and drawing him close to it. 1976 feet— on 5 reels Rental $3.75
8157 Code SEKIR Dancing Mothers Paramount
Featuring Clara Bow, Alice Joyce, Conway Tearle and Norman Trevor
Ethel Westcourt, an attractive, charming woman, is surrounded by wealth and luxury in the great Westcourt home, but is lonely and heart-hungry. There is pathos as she waits through the long hours of many nights for the return of her husband, who finds other women more diverting; and of Kittens, her flapper daughter, whose evenings at the night clubs seem fraught with grave danger.
Kittens meets Jerry Naughton, a fascinating chap, who is mixed up in a sensational divorce suit. Her flirtation with Jerry becomes so brazen and so constant at public places and in his apartment, that Mrs. Westcourt hears of it. Alarmed, she asks her husband to forbid his daughter's seeing Jerry again. But Kittens privately reminds him of his friendship with the flashy Irma, and suggests that "we moderns" stand together against mother's Victorian ideas. And the father is compelled to agree.
Ethel Westcourt, once a brilliant actress, determines to meet this Jerry and fascinate him sufficiently to come between him and her daughter. She goes to a night club and is introduced to Jerry. Many meetings follow. She finds him as attractive as reputed, but possessed of quaUties of tenderness and understanding which are not a part of his reputation. Suddenly awakening, she finds herself in love with Jerry, and he with her!
The situation is brought to a climax when mother and daughter, unaware of each other's presence, meet in Jerry's apartment. The husband, aroused to the serious mess he is making of life, renounces Irma, and crashes in on the scene in the apartment. In this dramatic situation, Jerry, a really lovable character, rises to splendid heights, but in the end is unable to patch up the fragments of shattered lives that whirl about him.
Wilful, impulsive and fascinating is Clara Bow as Kittens. 1978 feet— on 5 reels Rental $3.75
