The gentle words of a gal have put the kibosh on Bill's balloon-like brow. He for¬ gets how good he is — he determines that the Stars and Stripes must ride high over the royal cross of Britain. His chance comes and he makes good with a bang-up job of hard-hitting, hard-riding acting. It’s a show worth plenty of cash, fans. Investigate! The Heart of a Follies Girl Glorifried American Girls \Al HEN a producer exhausts all * ' his new ideas for pictures, he says, “Now it can be oid.” There may be a method in the madness of the boys who turned this out, but they certainly have gotten them¬ selves into a terrible method. Story: Larry Kent is sexretary to Lowell Sherman, wealthy stagedoor Johnny who’s fond of the highkicking Follies baby, Billie Dove. After seeing Lowell do his stuff we realized that as usual Sherman was right. Well, on Billie’s birthday, Larry is sent by the boss to show the girl a good time. Billie enjoys Rent¬ ing tonight. They fall in love. Larry pretends to be a friend of the boss, and signs that lad’s name to a check so that he can forge right ahead in his suit for Billie. Isn’t that swe-ee-et? Hero buys ring, crime is disclosed, hero is sent to jail marrying girl first, makes bad break by escaping from jail on New Year’s Eve, and is sent back by Billie for the sake of the wife and the kiddiesto-be. Ho! Ho! Hokum! Take it or leave it, patsies, and we don’t mean take it. The Noose XJICKIE is a young rum runner who wants to run from the rum so that he can mix with the best peo¬ ple. But before he can reform, he kills his bootlegging boss (who hap¬ pens to be his father) so as to save the governor’s wife (who happens to be his mother) from a disgrace which would be capitol fun for the tabloids. Suspense and pathos — the pathos that kills. For all along you’re sure that Nickie (Richard Barthelmess plus a lot of awe-inspiring facial ex¬ pressions) is going to be hanged be¬ cause he refuses to disclose why he did the dastardly deed and to say “Pardon me!” to the govenor (who happens to be his step-father). There’s a sassiety girl who skips to Europe after Nickie ’s bad break in order to save her name — but the audience calls her a worse one any¬ way. Besides, there’s a faithful and true cabaret lassie who’s included for the spectator’s own goody-goody. Keep your eye on Lina Basauette — there are those who say that she is one of the coming actresses (which happens to be true). Latest from Paris Getting Back to N orma-cy A/f.-G-M offers this tid-bit to its steady customers for whatever they can be persuaded to cough up. It is written around the proposition that a man may be gowned but he’s never out. Miss Norma Shearer, one of the girls out in Hollywood, is the one ex¬ citing reason for this film. She plays the part of a star salesman for a clothing firm. In order that she may appear to us morons as a like¬ able missy, she is caused to do a heart flop for Little Joe Adams (Ralph Forbes). This boy scout is a rival salesman out to catch Norma's business. He succeeds so well that he catches Norma. Which makes about as pretty a kettle of Fishenheimer & Bamberger suit salesmen as you ever saw. For a time the poor li’l gal’s love life is as complicated as a pretzel, but God is in hris Heaven, Will Hays is his gravy job, and hard-boiled business men are in the box offices, so the two passionate peddlers wan¬ der out into a snow storm hunting for a place to pet. Ham and Eggs at the Front War R uctions 'TOM WILSON, Heinie Conklin, A Louise Fazenda and Myrna Loy have seen dark days, take it from this boy scout. This here now thing named “Ham and Eggs at the Front” called for the above catalogued hec¬ tors and hectresses to smudge their assorted noses with charcoal and coal soot. For why? Because they’re playing the parts of negro AEFers and the girl friend at the front. The idea of a colored battalion in the trenches is food for thoughtless¬ ness in anybody’s theatre.
