Theatrical Film Ccitique 31 Briefer Mention REAM STREET ust how the man who gave us the incom- able "Broken Blossoms" could turn about 1 ruin every last essential that makes Thomas rke a Thomas Burke, we cannot imagine! \ wonder with something akin to real pain to which was the accident—the matchless iduction or the over-symbolized, maukishly ed "Dream Street." No Griffith film could ae to be without perfect spots in it but ream Street" is mostly spots. IlMILLE fader the sensuously nostriled face of Ru- ph Valentino and the once more distinctive ing of Nazimova, Camille comes to the viewer h something of the warmth and tenderness t broken cadences played on the G string a violin would have. Mme. Nazimova first le to the screen a great and strong artist expression. She soon lost it, to become ut- y, crazily, and if it were not tragic, funnily urd. In "Camille" she is once more the re- lined and decently impetuous artist. We le, we dare to hope, that she is back into her to stay! As to the backgrounds and set- in which this splendid stage classic has clothed, there is much room for violent erence of opinion. HE THREE MUSKETEERS fr. Fairbanks spared nothing of cost to make production accurate in externals and then ceeds to give a splendid portrayal of what rbanks would have been, had he been rtagnan. (What d'Artagnan was, we have 1 to imagine.) It is beautifully done and uld be considered not so much a rendition classic as a great Fairbanks film. As such, s a masterpiece. HE IDLE CLASS istinctly a disappointment. It attempts plot :re there is none and savors too strongly of gag stuff of the old Chaplin comedies. It jolly wee Charlie and his steadily amusing tomime but, following "The Kid," it is dis- :tly negligible. "The Kid" made us think t a still greater Chaplin was coming. CPERIENCE xcellently cast but hopelessly over-symbol- .. We never would have believed any human ig could have coached Richard Barthelmess » the mediocre grimacing actor he appears ■>e in this film.
