BAILEY, BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT Why ten? That's an arbitrary number. One year's product varies from another's, and if in any one year there are even five original productions of permanent value, then that year deserves to be underlined in red. Why ten? Why not merely list those few film^ that seem of real significance, not just passing entertainment, not just photographed stage-plays, not just adaptations from novels, not just rehashed mucical comedies, not just still-horn and prematurely buried "costume" pieces? Why not make the list lor 1924 up as follows: A Woman of Paris The Thief of Bagdad The Marriage Circle MARY F.
